EDITING PAPER The majority of readers seem
to think that nothing be more easy or pleasant
than to edit paper; but of all the different employ
ments by which men make their bread and butter,
there is none, we believe, that taxes the mind,
temper, and flesh, that of editing paper. There
is none that requires nicer TACT sonnder judgments
more constant application, quicker wit, or a kin
der heart. A churlish temper could never succeed
as an editor; narrow-minded man, nor an igno-
rant one, nor hasty one, nor an unforgiying one.
An editor must of necessity turn himself inside
out to the public; he cannot be hypocrite any more
than husband can be a hypocrite to his wife. He
must expose himself in all that he does, much in
selecting the thoughts of Others in Publishing his
own, and the betterway for him in the outset is to
begin frankly, to himself from after contradc-
tions and notifications. Whoever succeeds tolera-
bly, well editor, is something more than an or
dinary man, let his contemporaries say think Of
him as they will. Holden's Masazine.

And my locks are not yet gray es
For it stirs the blood in an old man heart, ssA
And it makes his pulses fly, slss.

And the light of pleasant eye.

And they say that am old,
And my heart is ripe for the reaper, DEATH
My form for his sickle cold. :.
It is very true--it is very true
I'm old, and g bide my time
But my heart will leap at scene like this
And half renew my prime.

And the rush of the breathess swing;
Ilhide with you in the fragrant hay,
And hoop the smothered call,
And my feet slip up on the ready floor,
And care not for the fall.
am willing to die whenmy time shall come,
\. And shallrbe glad to go,
For the world, at best, is weary place, Gse

And it wies my heart of its dreariness,.

MIKE WALSH. In kind of memoir, or apologize,
of Mike, in the Subterranean, we find the following
paragraph: I
8. Mike Walsh is the only living membr of his
family. His father was an opulent man, and once
possessed fortune of $8O,00O., He owned two
farms in New Jersey, one of which was a mill,
valued, with Ifs machinery and stores, at $4,000.
This had been insured for thirty years, and on the
day of the expiration of this policy, he had made ar
rangements to go to Newark to renew it, The busi-
ness of friend. which involved endorsementsto the
amount of $4,000, detained him for day. That
night the mill burned down, and every dollarof its
worth was lost. gs3 &E
The friend for whom the endorsement hadSbeen
made. subsequently proved insovent, and this, with
the law expenses, and other embarrassments, swal-
lowed up the remainder of Mr.. Walsh's property,
and left him penniless. He shortly after died, a
broken-hearted man. The children, consisting Of
four brothers, of whom Mike was youngest, and
girl scattered in all directions, the latter alone stay
ing with the mother. singular fatality pursued
them ALL One of the brothers fell by the the side
of Crockett at the massacre of the Alamo another
was shot in duel across table in the South the
third burnt in the Ben Sherrod, and the sister
perished in the ill-fated Lexington. And yet, God
is above all The mother soon, followed, and left
him, like Logan, the last Of his Taee.'' s

exutaton and depression, victory and defeat
and storm, Harry has ever been present. and athu to-
execute the mandate of his master. He has made the
tour ofthe United States and the Canadzs and when
the infant republic of Texas struggling for
place among the stars and stripes, he accompanied
his master, who was then Captain Qpitman, through
these perilous scenes; and while walking over the
battle ground of San Jacinto looking very sad at the
sight of the numerous dead, his master asked him
what he was thinking about. He replied that he
was thinking what fools those yellow men were for
fighting white folks But it was reserved for Harry
TO illustrate the annals of his race, at the stomng of
Monterey; for will be recoected that General Qnif-
man had the charge of the brave Mssssippians and
Tennesseans, and inthe hottest and thickest of

Harry, although he had to make his way TO his masa

enchantment of the scene, when the gallant Wm. @.
Butler fell wounded, Harry immediately rushed to

yeying the General from the field, he inquired after
his master. General Butler. told him he feared he
would never see him alive, as he was in the most
dangerous position when he saw him last. Harry

The sixth resolution merely proposes to lay these
resolutions before Congress the deliberately ex-
pressed opinion of the constituted authorities of the
State of North Carolina. There was time when
the Legislature of North Carolina spoke the tones
of command to her Senators. That time has gone
by 1--WE speak with reluctance, and hesitation,
as if we were approaching superiors, whom we were
afraid to offend. Why is this So! Does shortr resi-

EXERCISE IN THE OPEN AIR. Moderate exercise
