"Are we not also glad that such an Editor
is in Heaven? There no cry Of more copy
shall fall upon his distracted ears. There he
shall never be abused any more by his political
antag onists, with lies and detracton that should
shame a demon to pTomulgate. There he
shall no more be used as a ladder for the aspi.
ring 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 unknowingly and unknown

on earth. There he will find all his articles
credited-not clap of his thunder stolen, and
there shall be no more h0rrid typographical
errors to set him in a fever"
