a Youthful Turkish Hero.

The London ChroniciG correspondent relates
the following interesting incident Amongst
the extraordinary events occurring in these Won
derful times, l would mention the arrival at Con-
stantinople of youth of from fourteen to six
teen years of age, accompanied by several hun
dred warriors This youth who is native OF
remote country in the interior of Asia Minor Is
the offspring of woman fifty years Of age and
on that account his mother looked upon him as
destined for great things-a feeling which seems
to have been shared by her neghbors and all the
proyince The child was taken to the Mosque.
On his right arm an Arabic verse has been IN
scribed signifying thou wilt die martyr r
whilst on the left the happy prophecy, Ihou
wilt be a great man. is carved in Eastern cha
racters. This youth was from his birth destl-
ned for a military career, and generally regarded
with feelings of respectful yeneration by ms fel-
low-countrymen. He has now grasped stan
dard, and, surrounded by his friends and fol-
lowers, is hurrying to the war His youthful
appearance, whilst riding through the streets oil
STAN boul at the head of his followers, had gwen
rise TO the report that heroine n Johanna d

Editors and What is Expected of them
without charge.

The New York Tribune says There is many
journalist now Ianguishng in poverty, while
dozens to whose success in life he gave the first
impulse, roll by him in their carriages, and hare
forgotten his very existence. There is no coun-
try save ours, in the world, where journalists
are expected to do so much work for the special
benefit of others without recompense. Generally
out of this country, editors are inaccessible if
not anonymous they may let you know what
they think but not who thinks it. You cannot
walk into an EDITORS room in London or Paris,
and ask him to devote his time and his columns
to your Advancement or profit. Here this is
done every day, even by strangers
% Half an editors time-sometimes his whole
day, throwing over his proper work till nights
given up to receiving the calls, listening TO the
stories, and obeying the requests of one good
natured friend after another, who drops in to
try his chance of getting ten times as valuable
an advertisement out of him for nothing, as he
would be likely to get out of the publisher by
regular paying. If he fails, he looses nothing,
for he has plenty of brass left-ifhe succeeds, he
has used his time to decided advantage, and
thus is civility abused-thus is good feeling i'm
posed upon.
Many an editor receives several letters IN
day requesting him to do this or that document
for the benefit of utter strangers or mere ac-
ouaintanccs, who have no shadow Of claim to

The Father who gave the child to thee
Hath taken her far away,
For the ones He loveth the most, know,
He calls in their early day:
So the sweet angel came from the azur'd dome,
Adown through the ether dim,
Who caugh from the earth the youngest one,
And bore her far up to HIM.
There is joy above mid the Heavenly hand
That stand by the great white Throne,
For angel was won from this lower sphere
At the call of the Holy One.
Now the sunshine beams her gentle brow,
And CLEANS mid her sunny hair,
And the harp which she holds in her little hands,
He gave her who called her there.
Oh, let there in your woofof care
A golden thread be wove,
For she never will taste the sorrows of earth,
Nor feel the deceit ofits love-
And live ye so in this lower world
That your angel child you may see,
When the jurney of life is done, and stand
On the shores of Erternity.
