The girls, that is, Belinda, Martha and Ad-
cline, having many confidential communica-
tlons to make TO each other, some of them
spiced with little sentiment, retired TO dis

Frank Dennis and little Joseph went with
Mr.. Chesford into the fields, where his two
sons were at work, to see how things had

Thus the afternoon passed away pleasantly
to all simple, meagre and insipid. as many
might have deemed what constituted the ele-
ments of their enjoyment. They belonged to
that class who are SO fortunate as TO prove that
The simplest pleasures are often the sweetest,
as the lowiest flowers sometimes contain the
the most delicious honey. r.a
When the three days had expired, which,
to Belinda, had seemed like bright dream,
she once more left home to fulfil her engage
ment with Mrs. Maulins. She was accompa-
nied by Frank Dennis; and as they proceeded
lelsnrely along in the light pleasure wagon,
such as in the distant town where Franks
farm was situated, had nearly superseded the
use of the one-horse chaise, it was settled be-
tween them that in two years, when. Belinda
would be eighteen, they wauld~go 10 honse-
keeping.
Na,hing supervened to prevent the accom-
pllshment of their wishes, and at the time pro-
posed, Belinda, soon as she was eighteen, was

shade-trees, while garden with beds for
vegetables, and border for flowers, with
manyta sunny nook for rose-bushes and other
foweriag shrubs, could be seen both from the
kitchen and parlow windows.
Mrs. Selby, though pressed by her son-in-
law, as well as her daughter, to take up her
residence with them, thought it best TO remain
IN her old home. She and the children, how
ever, made them an annual visit and when
they returned, a double wagon, filled with
stores for winter, was sure to make its appear

The life of an editor is comparatively short.
He wears out before his time. The exact
ing toll he pursues, which is rarely or never
broken by solitary day Of relaxaIion,i shat
lers his nerves, exhausis his vital energies,
and makes him grey-haired almost in middle
age. To him The course of nature is re-
versed, and night is turned into day. He
labors when other men sleep. Nothing tells
sooner on The constitution than This. The
close room 10 Which he usually sits, the sti-
fling odor Of damp newspapers from the
mails, and the binding glare of the gas
lights increase the wear and tear upon his
system, so that he is fortunate member of
his profession if he does not give out entirely

distinguished success, and the consequent
ability TO enlishten his toll by employing
substitutes eau save him from this irresls.I-

The Life of an Editor.

A contemporary remarks that but few em-
plOyments are so unfavOrable 10 careful
reading, mature reflection, and elegant com.
position, as those OF an editor OF daily pa
per. The public has 10 mercy for the short
comings of an editor. He is expected to be
wise, yet witty; learned, yet eloquent; pro-
found, yet brilliant. He must always. be ac-
curate, yet never delay his Judgment. The
pulpit orator prepares his sermon in the qui-
ct of closet. He may refer TO his library
for doubtful tacr, and revise his compost
ZION in after hours. Even The lawyer has
usually the respite Of night, 10 which to
collect Ills thoughts and arrange his argu-
menls. But the editor must speak on the
spur of the moment. He cannot sIop either
10 iorlly his memory or digest his opinions,
or TO poislI his style. He hIngs off hlg sheets
Of manuscript as the news come in, or the
clamor OF the composltors increase, aud like
a thoroughbred in desperate race, he is
under whip and spur from the starting point
to the goal. u
But this is not The whole. The editor
must write, NOT merely before he has ma
lureIy reflected, but often when anguish OF
sorrow prevent his reAecting at all. Hi.
bones may be racked with cold, his heat
may throb with pain, his aiongue may be
parched with fever, he may be unnerved BY
excessive labor, yer he ftlust write, write
write. He is, as j, were, chained 10 a vince
tbat whirls and whirls forever. As mus
leave the wife Of his bosom On sick bed
even uncertain whether or not he shall itl,
her alive on his return. He must come from
the coffin of his child, from the tears an,
agony of the bereaved mother, and whil,
his brain is reeling in the efiort to think, h
must write, write, write. Oh if the publi
but knew with wha; suffering it is Offer
served. IL the secrets of but single day
newspaper life. in one of our great cities
could blaze in letters of fire behind the o.
dinary type, what revelations there would he
revelations of mental torture and physlca
pain, of failing nerves and wearied eye-sIghi
often Of pecu6iary dstresses and even posi-
tive want. For the editorial profession
alas does not always requite its follow
ers.

with hydroPhohla, in consequence of bite
from mad dog. He has now, however,
nearly recovered, though running wound

bitten, in order To prevent the possibility of
return OF the symptoms. The vesicles
which formed under the tongue promptly
disappeared under the administration of la

OF the lance-headed adder. which was given

were prevented by the use Of belladonna and
