AN EDITOR IN HEAvEN-A Southern Editor gives
long obituary Of one of his brethren of the quill
under the above caption. The closing paragraph of
itself forms glowing picture:
''Are not also glad that such an editor is in
heaven ? There cry of more copy shall fall
upon his distracted ears. There he shall never be
abused any more by his political antagonists, with
lies and detraction that should shame a demon to
promulgate. There he shall no more be used as a
ladder for the aspiring TO kick down as they reach
the desired height, and need him no more. There
he shall be able to see the immense masses of mind
he has moved all knowingly and unknown he
has been during his weary pilgrimage earth
There he will find all h s articles credted-not a
clap of his thunder stolen-and there shall be no
horrd typographical errors to set him in fever"
