Charge to newly installed Editor.


The editor of the N o. Christian Advo-
cate, who is something of a wit in his way,
in welcoming to the tripod one of his brethren,
who has lately been appointed editor of reli-
gious paper, thus solemnly charges him as 10

debutant journalist in times past, and in view

byterian brethren at installations The right
hand Of fellowship having been given, we pro-
ceed to 'deliver the charge
Firstly-H any man be in this office by pur-
pose, he is not In by rights. No boy was ever
brought up for an editor. No father ever
thought, 4 will educate my son for an editor.
No aspiring young man ever said, Il will be

Now, if you desired to be an editor, lived for

you found yourself one, you are not in the reg

Secondly-If you have any very particular
friend, go and embrace him for the last time,
for when you refuse his advice, How to

Thirdly-Make to yourself friends Of the
Postmaster-General and all the Postmasters in

Fourthly-Do all the good you can and as
little harm, for these will be your main
chances.
Fifthly-Put away the delusve notion that

off, and those patrons who consider they do a
favor by reading the paper, and have nothing
to do with them. Neither ever yet supported

worse for it.
Eighthly-Reject many Of your own manu-
scripts as well as other peoples.
Nlnthly-Never think you are done or
through when you are through. Begin again
Finally and to conclude-Look out for all
things. Be prepared to go through thick and
thin-especially through thin.

Interesting Facts upon Eyes and Ears,


The organ of vision is considered the most
delicate organization in the hnnan frame vet.
many who have been born blind have been
enabled TO see by surgical operations and the
following is an interesting fact concerning one
OF that class. This youth had become l3
years Of age, when his eyes were couched by
the surgeon He thought scarlet the most
beautiful color, black was painful. He fan
cled every object touched him. and he could
not distinguish by sight what he perfectly
well knew by feeling, for instance, the cat and
dog. When his second eve was couched, he
remarked that the objects were not so large in
appearance to this, as to the one opened at
first. Pictures he considered OILY parti-col-
ored surfaces, and miniature absolutely as
tonlshed him, seeming 10 him like putting a
bushel into pint
Stanley, the organist, and many blind mu-
slcians, have been the best performers of their
time; and schOOlmstress in England could
discover that two boys were playing in dis
tant corner of the room, instead of studying-
although person using his eyes could not de-
tect the slightest sound. Professor Sander
son, who was blind, could, in few moments,
tell how many persons were in mixed COM
pany, and of each sex. A blind French lady
could dance in figure dances, sew and thread
her own needle. A blind man in Derbyshre,
England, has actually been surveyor and
planner Of roads, his ear guiding him as to
distance as accurately as the eye to othersi
and the late Justice Fielding, who was blind.

speaking a few words, said, This room is
about twenty-five feet long, eighteen wide,
and twelve high all Of which was revealed

his ear. Verify: We are mysteriously and
wonderfully made.
