The life OF an editor is comparatively

The exacting toll he Pursues which is

hausts his vital energies and makes him
grey haired almost in middle age. To

tells sooner on the constitution than
this. The close room in which he usu-
ally ats, the sitting odors 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 pro-
fession if he does not give ont entirely

sequent ability to tighten his toll by

The Life of an Editor.

A contemporary remarks that but few
employments are so unfavorable to care
full reading, mature reflection and ele-
giant composition, as those of an editor,
especially an editor of daily paper.
This fact, even where understood, is
but rarely acknowledged by the reader.
The public has no mercy for the short
comings of an editor. He is expected
to be wise, yet witty learned, yet elo-
quent; profound, yet brilliant. He
must always be accurate, yet never
delay his judgment. If bill is laid be-
fore Congress, he is looked to for an
opinion before the telegraph has finish
ed reporting the provisions. If rail-
road is projected, he must Immediately
point out its advantages, its cost and its
dement's. If revolution breaks out
abroad, he is questioned as to its proba-
BILE consequences, and condemned, in
the end, if he has not torescen every
contingency. When he is right, he
scarcel y receives credit when he is
wrong he is censured without end.
The pulpit orator prepars his sermon
in the quiet of his closet. He NAV re-.
fer to his library for doubtful fact, and
reverse his composition in after hours.
Even the lawyer has usually the respite
of night in which to collect his
thoughts and arrange his arguments.
But the editor must speak on the spur
of the moment. He cannot stop either
to tortify his memory, to digest his
opinion or to polish his style. He filings
off his sheets of manuscript as the news
comes in, or the cIamors of the compo-
sltors increase, and, like thoroughbred
in desperate race, he is under whip
and spur from the starting point to the
goal.
But this is not the whole. The edi-
tor must write, not merely before he
has matureIy reflected, but often when
anguish or sorrow prevents his reflect
ing at all. His bones may be racked
with cold, his head may throb with pam,
his tongue may be parched with fever;
he may be unnerved by excessive la.
Dor, yet he must write, write, write.
He is, as it We're, chained to wheel
that whirs and whrls forever. He must
leave the wife Of his bosom on asick bed,
even when uncertain whether or not he
shall find her alive on his return. He
must come from the coffin of his child,
from the tears and agony of the bereav-
ed mother, and, while his heart is al
most breaking, and his brain reeling IN
the effort TO think he must write, write
write. Oh! If the public knew with
what suffering it is often served, If the
secrets of but single day of Newspaper
lite, in one of our great cities, could
blaze out in letters of fire. behind the
ordinary type, what revelations would
there be-revela,ions of mental torture,
physical pain or failing nerves and
wearied eyesisht, often of pecuniary
distress and even positive want For
