The following sketch of the editorial habits of the
Editor OF The Albany Evening Journal, THURLow
WE'D. is from The Madison County Wing:
"Somewhere we have sketch OF Weed in
his sanctnm, as it was couple of years since. A
large, plain room containing few tables chairs, and
sofa, and separated by partition, pierced with
broad window, from the composing room, occu-
pied by him in common with his assistants. No
room could be less private. Near one corner the
table OF the editor, behind pile of exchanges, cast
aside and trampled down ~ his feet, to keep them
from overw heming him and his table. Here he re.
ceVed calls from State officers, members of the Leg
iSIaure, applicants fer Offices and casual visitors. In
the intervals of conversation he editorials. Not
hastily, as may be supposed, but slowly. and with
many His accuracy is the fruit Of incessant
care. He writes much, Aut always with attention,
and with more thought for his readers than for the
nnlncky compostor who puts his articles in type.
His manuscript is a combination of fish hooks, fly
sPecks, dashes and cockscrews which at times defy
deciphering and guesses, editor and compassion alike
giving up II is clear of that easy writ
ing which is hard reading.'
About o'clock his last article is in type and cor
rected, and his work for the day is ended. Thence
forward he is at leisure, apparently fresh and vigo-
rous as though he had not just risen from seven OF
eight hours Of the exhausting labor in the
worlds

Rules Of Courtship.

l. Never marry for wealth. A woman )
life consistent not in the things she possessesh.
? Never marry a fop. or one who struts
about dandy-like in his silk gloves and rules.
with silvered cane, and Rugs on his fingers;
beware there is a trap.
3. Never marry a niggard. a closc-fsted.
mean, sordid wretch, who saves every penny,
or spends it grudgingly. Take care lest ho
stint you to death.
4. Never marry a stranger, or one whose
character is not known or tested. Some fe-
males jump right into the fire, with their eyes
wide open!
3. Never marry a NOPE or a dronc, one
who drawls and draggles through life one
foot after another, and lets things take their
own course.
8. Never marry man who treats his mo-
ther and sister unkindly. or indiifsreutly
Such treatment is a sure indication Of a mean
and wicked breast.
Z. Never on any account, marry gam.
bier, profane person. one who in the least
speaks lightly Of God, or religion. Such .
man can never make good husband.
8. Never marry a sloven, o man who Is
negligent Of his person, or his dress, and Is
filthy in his habits. The external appearance
is an index to the heart.
Q. Shun the rake as snake, a viper, .
very demon
10. Finally, never marry man who uses
tobacco in any form, or who is addicted t.,
the use OF ardent spirits Depend upon j.
you are better off alone than you would b,
were you tied to man whose breath pollu
ted, and whose vitals are being guaWcd out b
alcohol
In the choice Of wife take the obedienl
daughter Of good mother.

Gentlemen, three or four monstrous parties
are now forming in cur country, Federalists,

Carry a thing through Persevcre don't
do anything else. Ifyou once fairly, soundy,
wide-awakely begin a thing. let it be- carried
through. though it cost you your best comfort,
time, energies and all that you can command.
We heartily abominate this turning backward,
this wearying and faintng Of soul and pur-
pose. 1t speaks imbeciity Of mind, want Of
character, courage and true manliness
Garry thing through Don't begin it till
you are fully prepared for its accomplishment
Think. study, dig. till you know your ground,
see your way. This done, launch out with
all your soul. heart and fro turn neither to
the right or left Push on giganticly-pusli
on. as if creation had been waiting through
all time for your especial hand and spirit
Then you'll do something worthy Of yourself
and kind.
Carry a thing through. Don't leap and
daily from one to another. No man ever did
anything that way. You can't
BE strong-minded. BE hopeful, stern and
manly.
Don't disgrace yourself BY being on this
thing to-day, on that thing tomorrow, and on
another thing next day. We don't care il
you are the most active mortal liying-we
don't care if you labor day aud night, in sea-
son aud out be sure the end Of your life will
show nothing if you perpetually change from
object to object.
Fortune, success, fame. position, arc never
gained but by piously. determinedly, bravely
sticking growing, living to q thing till it is
fairly accomplished.
In short, you must carry a thing through
ii you want to be anybody or anything. No
matter if it does cost you the pleasure, tbe so
ciety, the thousand pearly qualifications o.
lie. No matter for these. Stick to the
thing. and carry it through Believe you
were made for the matter, aud that ho one
else can do it. Put forth your whole ener.
gies Stir, wake, eleetrify yourself, and 60
forth to the task.
Only once learn to carry thing through
in all its completeness and proportion, and
you will become a hero. You will think
better Of yourself-others will think better Of
you. OF course they will.
The world in its very heart admires the
stern, determined doer II sees in him its
best sight, its brightest object, its richest
treasure. Drive right along then. in what.
ever you undertake. Consider yourself amp.
" sufficient for the deed. You'll be success
fll Never fear
