An Editorial Rapture.

o, We city editors! slayish denizens Of the
crowded. heated streets and dirty avenues
of the populous Notwithstanding into
your nostrils the thick atmosphere laden
with thousand smells, transmitted from
diseased lungs through your OWN over
wrought corporosities-no NOSE amid the
multitudinous sounds that bedlamize your
ears so familiar as the quick, oft-repeated
cry of .ccPy,"-languid yet urged, the daily
round Of tread-lni!l to be performed-shut
out from the beauty Of the sun, save when
he pours down the intensity OF his heat
Unframed by the cooling breeze Of Heaven,
pent up, sufIocated-how We envy You not.
Above the discriminating the atmosphere
pure ar God made il. laden with the per-
fumes Of ten thousand flowers, imbibed in
its passage over the broad eXpanse of in
land seas,-noises too few to distract the
attention-neryous, braeing, piles Of copy
awaiting the slow composition Of few work
men-an observer Of old Sol as be lifts his
head above the horizon. sheds down his yer-
teal rays purged Of their intensity BY the
cooling breeze, and sinks in the west
free, untrammeled, the country editor may
be envied.

ADVERTISING.

The following extract was not intended
fer publication, but W give ii for its worth
and in order to make a remark or two in
connection.
sSir: ought to have sent you this ad-
yer.isement before now but there is SO much
gas and gross exaggeraiion mixed in the
leading advertisements OF the day in the
West, that for one am tired of seeing it
and ofcouse think that many others feel
about as do on the subject. Advertising
is and would be an excellent medium be-
tween the seller and buyer If the truth were
always told and gassing and lying were
penal offences. But as it i, nearly every
body sells gocd. goods. the best. cheapest
and has the most Of them, some Of these
must lie, and the country is flooded with
poor goods into the bargain.
Editors are some to blame. they gem
orally ruff the most where there is the
most gas and the most fsf, think these
things might be done otherwise. do
not write to give yoa the least offence,
for with perhaps the exception Of an ex-
ira puff about the city Of Davenport, which,
bye the bye, is rather natural. think the
Gazette is an excellent paper and for its
manly and independent course about the
trial for the murder OF Geo. Davenport
it has since had iny best wishes. :
4, an
in advertising We refer him to the news
papers published a. the east, where he
viii find it brought TO q perfection which
western editors can scarcely hope TO at
tain for sometime to come. With regard
to indiscriminate editorial putting Of every
body and everything advertised, il ten
dency IS TO destroy confidence in the IN
tegrity and judgment Of the editor.
