THE LIFE OF AN EDITOR

Our friend, Garvin ofthe Western Press.
thus feelingly depicts the life Of an editor:
':To publish paper, successfully. il is
necessary not only to have large sub
scripton list, but to have some money,
occasionally, and without that. no person
need try to make an interesting paper.
This is almost self evident truth. II win

tive powers, and causes the ideas to flow,
is truly miraculous! But il his. pockets
are empty, his paper bill unpaid, his family
fighting for the last bite, the land sharks
following closely in his wake, and nothing
coming in but chips and grindstones ,sin-
stead of endeavoring to make readable
paper, he feels like taking his departure
forthe other world; and like ray Of fliaht

When the last dreadful sentence, and
its still more dreadful illustration, burst
upon her. affrighted senses, she became
paralized with an excess o. emotion, the

band, who had never quilted her, beheld
one Of those phenomena which sometimes
attend the dying. Awakening from a tor

THE SURGEONS REVENGE.

The following deeply interesting story
was related by DR.. Gibson in one of his
lectures before. the medical class OF the
University Of Pennsylvania. The hero of
the story is Vesale. one Of the most emf.
nent Of the Italian surgeons.
Andre Vesale, says the manuscript, first
saw the light of the city Of Brussels, in the
year l7l4. His iatherwas an apothecary,
attached to the service of the Princess
Margaret, aunt Of the Emperor Charles V,
and goyerness OF the low countries.
Up TO the period when Vcsale first rem
dered himself conspicuous. the anatomy
of the human body was so impertectly un-
derstood, as scarcely to merit that the form
OF science should be applied 10 the dim
and confused idea relating TO it. Vesale
was the first to break through the trammels
with which ignorance and bigotry had
crippled the march of science; surmount-
ing with admirable courage and constancy,
the disgust, the terror. and even the peril,
inseparabe from this description oflabor.
in which he had devoted himself; ho was
to be seen whole days and nights in the
cemetries, surrounded by the fostering
remains of mortality, or gibbets and dis.
putting with the vulture for its prey, in or
der to compose perfect skeleton from
the remains Of prosecuted criminals left
there to be devoured by the carrion bird.
1t was during sojourn at Basel, after
his return from Italy, that Vesale first be-
held, at the house of Hans Holbein, the
painter, Isabella Van Steenwyrk, the
daughter Of merchant al Harlan who
was destined TO exercise some influence
over his future life. He was scarcely
twenty-eight years OF age, and already had
attained the summit Of well directed ambi-
ton. ga r
The family Of Van Steenwyrk was a
wealthy aud honorable one, far superior to
that Of Vesale. but the distinguished posi-
ton the latter had acquired for himself,
entitled him to aspire to an alliance even
more exalted. The son Of The Princess
Margarets apothecary would have been
rejected by the rich Harlan burger, the
E,nperor's first physician was accepted by
him as the eligible son.in.law. The mar
riage solemnized, Versale, accompanied
by his young bride, set off for Seville,
where Charles v then held his court.
She loved her husband, though there
was so much awe mingled with her affec-
tons as to throw an appearance OF con-
straint over her demeanor towards him,
even in the privacy Of her domestic life.
The very nature OF his profession and oc-
cupation was calculated to increase that
awe, and even to create some repugnance,
lin shrinking mind, which nothing but
strong affection would overcome. Isabel
las nature required skillul drawing out
aud tender fostering. Vesale, unfortun-
ately, mistook her timidiiy for coldness.
and returned it accordingly. This led to
estrangement on her part, which he attri-
buted to dislike, and jealous distrust took
possession Of his soul. sg5' ssg s'i3ei's

SPEAK 1T BOLDLY.

BY F. ALBERT SIMPKINS.
Speak it out! and speak it boldly.
ar Dare 10 tell the world thy heart;
Dastards only fear TO utter
All that reason can impart.
Seest thou-yet undiscovered
BY occasion serving men
Truths important; aid them onward
By the strength OF voice and pen.
Tarry not for bolder leaders,
Pause not in the tagging van:
What thou thinkest, heave it forward,
Speak it boldly-be a man!
Men there are whose names belle them
Men whose coward.lives quake,
Lest, perchance, the worlds opinion
Place their narrowed faith a; stake.
Men who have the worlds progression
Men who lnger still, and wait
For The spread of their opinions
- Men who dare not "agita,e."
But be thou more true 10 mankind;
Every side and bearing scan,
Then, with manly in independence,
Speak out boldly-be man!
Teach thyself thy bounden duty
In the knowledge Of thy God; 20
Heed not thou the scof of mortals,
Spurn the worlds obsequious nod,
Raise thy voice amid the conflict,
And, with giant heart. proclaim
Love to God and man thy mission
Not to merit worldly fame!
Fill thou thus the common measure
OF benignant Heavens plan.
And what duty bids thee utter,
Speak it boldly-be man!
or mankind will ask thy favor,
In the great designs of life:
Be thou ever al thy station,
Battling in the noble strife!
Art and science shall invoke thee.
Brother man shall crave thy aid;
Open 10 him thy fount of feeling,
Needless of his hue and grade.
lfa limit bound thy power,
Do what all Of mankind can:
Search for truth, and when discovered
Speak it boldly-be man!

LIFE in A POWDER MILL.

Dickens thus describes a visit to the
Powder Mill of Hounslow, near London;
sin this silent region amid whose nine
ty-seven work places no human voice ever
breaks upon the ear, and where, indeed,
no human form is seen, except in the lso-
lated house in which his allotted task is
performed. there are secreted upwards Of
two hundred and fifty work people. They
are peculiar race, not Of course by ma
ture, in the most cases, but by the habits
Of years. The circumstance Of the mo-
mentary destruction in which they live,
added to the most stringent and necessary
regulations, have subdued their minds
and feelings to tine condition Of their hire.
There is seldom any need TO enforce these
regulations. Some terrible explosions
here, or Of works of similar kind else
where, leaves fixed mark in their mem.
cries, and acts as constant warming
Here no shadow of practical joke, or
caper Of animal spirits, ever transpire; no
witticisms, no oaths, no chaff, or slang.
laugh is seldom heard, smile is sell
dom seen. Even the work is carried on
by men with as few words as possible, and
these uttered in low tone. Not that any
one fancies that mere sound will awaken
the spirit Of combustion, or cause an ex-
plosion to take place, but that their feel
ings are always kept subdued.
s.lf one man wishes TO communicate
anything to another, or to ask anything
from somebody at a short distance. he
must 60 there; he is never permitted to
shout or call out. There is particular
reason for this last regulation. Amid all
this silence whenever shout does occur,
everybody knows that some iminent dan
ger is expected the next moment, and all
rush headlong from the shout. As to rum
ming toward it to offer any assistance, as
common in other cases it is thoroughly un-
dersiood thai, none can. be afforded. An
accident here is immediate and beyond
remedy. II the shoutong be continued
for some time for man might be drown
ing in the river,) that might cause one or
two Of the boldest to return but this would
be rare occurrence. 1t is by no means
10 be inferred that the men are selfish and
insensible to the perils of each other; on
the contrary, they have the greatest con-
sideralion for each other, as we'll as TOR
their employers, and think of the danger
to the lives Of others, and Of the property
at stake at all times, and moro especially
in all the dangerous "houses." The pro-
pretors Of the various gunpowder mills all
display the same consideration for each
other it any improvement tending to lessen
danger is discovered by one, it is imme.
diately communicated to all the others
The wages Of the men are good, and the
hours very short. artificial lights are never
used in the works. Theyall wash them
selves-black, white and bronze-and
leave the mills at half past three in the af.
ternoon, winter and summer"

LEAVING HOME.


| can conceive OF no picture more in
teresting than one which might be drawn
from young man leaving the home Of his
childhood, the scene of his early associa-
tons, to try his fortune in distant coun-
try, setting out alone for the ''forest" A
father on the decline-the downhill oflile,
gives his parting blessing, invoking the
best gifts Of heaven TO rest on his beloved
offspring, and to crown all his efforts with
complete success; tears gush from his eyes,
and words are forbid utterance. A kind

says:

We might go on telling who General
PIERCE is and what is thought olhim all over
the Union, but We have not room this week.
1t is enough for US to know, that the whole
souled democracy of Harrison county are
well pleased with the nomination. This we
know, because we have during the past
week, conversed with large number OF
Democrats from all parts of the county, and
they all say that FHANKLIN PIERCE is just

The Railroad.

Considerable interest seems to be manlteS-
ted in this neighborhood at this time, in re-
lation to branch being made from the main
line of the Steubenville and Indiana railroad
to this place. Meetings have been held and
a considerable amount of stock, has been
subscribed, and some effortis being made to
procure the right of way. The advantages
of such a road to Cadiz, and vicinity, are so
apparent to every one, that it would be
useless for us to reiterate what every one
knows. We hope that our citizens will act
promptly and energetically in this matter,
and those having the right of way to give,
will see what's to their advantage, and come
up literally to the work. We trust that no
one will be exorbiant in giving the right of
way, but act with that !iberality, that becom-
eth all good citizens and well wishers of the
prosperity Of their neighborhood. Let eve
ry man give that cml--it will pay well. The
widows mite was acceptable in old times,
and it will be none the less SO in these times

Your duty, Democrats.

The Statesman thus speaks of the neccss-
ity ofevery Democrat beng at his post, and
and battling for our time honored principles,
We recommend it to the careful cOnsidera
ton of the Democracy of Harrison county.
Now, Democrats, again do the moment
GUS interests of the nation call you to duty.
For foul, years the adverse fate of the coun-
try has excluded from public administration
the party which alone is imbued with the
real spirit of American Republicanism. BY
the wise and righteous provision o. our glo-
rous Constitution, the time is fast rolling
around when we shall be called upon to ex-
pend every energy ofintelligent and yet free
citizens for recovering the rein, of govern
ment from party that never rules but it
ruins, whose whole influence is prevailed
with corruption and public vice.
In the contest now pressing hard upon
the people, the issues are those upon which
rest the Whole political welfare of our land.
Instead of tranquility at home, we have had
storms and commotion-instead of sectional
harmony we have had sectional bitterness
and jealousy. The myriad curses of msrule
under which the nation has been covered
with gloom, have grown from whig rule as
naturally as fruit is borne by the tree. The
whig party came into power by setting sec
ton, and it has only held power tc enhance
the bitterness thus created by their fraudu,
lent conduct in the canvas of 40. Scourge
them from power, place in their stead the
party whose policy is founded upon due
regard to the rights of States and truly ma
tional and unscctional and principles of the
national Union, ard all will again go WELL
