THE HARDsHiPs OF EplroRs.-N. P. Viii
lis in a late letter from ldlewild, comment
ing on the death Of dear friend, and its in
huence on editorial duties, thus speaks of q
fact of which the world thinks too little:
1T is ono Of the hardshlps ofour profession
that its working -wheels-brain and heart
are not allowed to lag for sickness or stop fol
calamity or sorrow. The Judge may ad-
journ his court, the school and the work shop
may close shutters, the mourn'r may veil
features and turn friend and stranger fron,
the door-but the journalist must. forget be
fore the morrow the sorrow OF to day---must
write gaily and freshly as newsmonger, on
the tribe of the hour. whatever burthen has
been laid on that sane hour, by Providence,

GA HrisM of the Guernsey Tiwrs has a
natural vein of hupor in him which will make
itself apparent ut times. In noticing the re-
marks Of certain ofthe Wheeling and Zanes-

translated signifies "lhe place to cross the

Tom PAINE, DOUGLAS AND THE DEVIL
Last weeks St. Louis Pilot, the organ of
Pierce, Douglass, Atchison 4 Co., in Mis-
souri,, has an article scoffing at the proposi.
ton that Christians should hold day Of hu-
initiation, fasting and prayer, in view of Gods
judgments of drought and pestilence on the
land. The Pilot, with fippancy and god
less ribaldry that would have done credit to
Tom Paine, holds that going without ones
food has never any tendency to make ii
rain, and mocks at the contrary "supcrsti
ton" Of foolish Christian people.
The same number OF the Pilot asserts thai
there is far more danger threatened to th
republican government by protestant prea
chers" than by all the Catholics in it! s.

Gov. MEDILL' L's"HEARTH."-We see by
the Statesman of this morning, that Gov.
Medill 'give treat" the other evening to
the Hon. Lynn Boyd, to which Col Allen,
Col. Medary, and fifty other Democrats were
invited. During the evening it appears tn 1t
a sentiment was given containing delicate
reference to Gov. Medill's"hearth." 1t is
none of our business, but we think the alu-
sion was ar unkind one. Just imagine for
II moment the old bachelors "hearth."-
See him sitting in his easy chair, punching
up the Goals in th CRATE, with the poker in
his hand. The sparks may fly out on the
carpet, and there is no tiny foot to put them
out; the ashes may litter up the hearth, and
there is no fair hand, with little broom in
it, to sweep them up; there is no rosy cheek.

Is no accounting for taste The man, who

0~TWe have not heretofore noticed very
pleasant incident in the recent excursion on
the western railroads. Unexpectedly to all,
when the cars reached Wrightstown, the
party found that Nehemiah Wright, Esq, one
OF the staunch old citizens OF Belmont, and Il
director on the road, had prepared, lunch
OF apples, crackers, cheese, cakes sc, that
was very pleasant, and all avaled themse YES

they had u fine effect on the party.

0FAn accident without fatal results, but
remarkable for some of its concomitants, oc-
Cured on Saturday to the freight train going
east on the Central road, about three miles
below Newark. 1T this point there is gra-
vel bank to which side track extends from
the main track. The switch stan was in
defective condition. The engineer, not aware
! of the danger, passed over with tho locomo-
tive and three cars, The fourth wns caught
by the switch and pitched of tn track, fol-
lowed by seven others. All after these
four or tVe--passed over in safety A man
standing upon one of the cars which capszed
was hurled about 80 feet with tremendous
force, and was thought to be crushed to
death, two or three cars being apparently pi-
led upon him; but strange to say, he escaped
unhurt. A sheet of flame of considerable
height and volume issued from some infam-
mabe liquid in ono of the capsized cars, but
how .he tire was communicated, remains a
| mystery. A quantity OF hams were nicely
cooked by this extemporaneous process, to
the manifest satisfaction of the hungry ones
of the neighborhood. How the company
will account to the consignees for the disup-
pearance Of the hams is none OF our business.

clusions as to where the blame rests for this
