LoArERs IN THE EDITORIAL Room.
1t is always much to be desired that
visitors to the Editorial sanctum will
make their stay there as short as pos
sible. In friendly way we shall be
glad at all times to see them at the near
est lamp or telegraph post on Mont
gomery street to have palaver. Yet,
unless they have news to g'rc-not to
receive-their absence from the sane
tum is preferred to their company
When the mail steamer arrives, then do
our loa6ng friends think that they are
most called upon to worry US, to toss
over and disarrange our files of eastern
papers. Why do MT these fellows (for-
give us, dear friends y 60 forthwith to
5ullivan's, or Leland's, or Ullmann's,
or any of the other newspaper folk, and
buy there the papers which they wish
to consult By their very presence,
their very breathing, in the same room
with ourselves, at time when We are
fretted by the necessity of doing deal
of work in a brief period, they provoke
us beyond bearing. When will men
grown-up, bearded-men-some Of whom
have been editors themselves-learn
discretion Our loaGng acquaintance
will confer an inestimable favor on US
by not approaching, in future, within
one hundred yards of our sanctum' un-
til, at least, twenty -four hours after the
mail steamer has touched the wharf.
WHOM the cap fits, let him wear it.
There are goodly number who ought
to put it on their head. We shall sup
plv feathers and bells on the next oeea-
sion.-.S. f. Chronicle.

The Marriage of Sir John Smith.
BY THE AUTHOR OF "MARrHA HOPKINS

BY THE AUTHOR OF "MARrHA HOPKINS"
Not sigh was heard, nor a funeral note,
AS the man to the bridal we hurried
Not a woman discharged her farewell groan,
On the spot where the fellow was married.
We married them just about eight at night,
Our faces paler turning,
By the struggling moonbeam's misty light,
And the gas-lamps steady burning:
No useless watch chain covered his vest,
Nor over-dressed we found him;
But he looked like gentleman wearing his
best,
With view to his friends around him.
Few and short were the things we said,
And we spoke not word of sorrow,
But we silently gazed on the man that was
wed,
And we bitterly thought on the morrow.
We thought, as we silently stood about,
With spite and anger dying,
How the merest stranger had cut US out
With only half US trying.
Lightly we'll talk Of the fellow that's gone,
And oft for the past upbraid him;
But little he'll reck if we let him live on
In the house where his wife conveyed him.
But our heavy task at length was done,
When the clock struck the hour for retiring;
And we heard the spiteful squib and pun
The girls were silently firing.
Slowly and sadly we turned to go
We had struggled, and we were human;
We shed not a tear. and we spoke not our woe,
But we left him alone with his woman.

THE OLD GRIST MILL.
BIZ r. II. sTODDARD.

The grist mill stands beside the stream,
With bending roof and leaning wall
So old, that when the winds are wild,
The miller trembIcs lest it fall;
But moss and ivy never sere,
Bedeck it DER from year to year.
The dam is steep, and weeded green;
The gates are raised, the waters pour,
And tread the old wheels slippery steps,
The lowest round forevermore
Methinks they have a sound of ire,
Because they cannot climb it higher.
From morn till night, in autumn time,
When yellow harvests load the plains,
Up drive the farmers to the mill,
And back anon with loaded wains;
They bring heap of golden grain,
And take it home in meal again.
The mill inside is dim and dark,
But peeping in the open door,
You see the miller fitting rourd,
And dusty bags along the floor;
And by the shaft and down the spout,
The yellow meal comes pouring out.
And all day long the winnowed chaf
Floats round it OH the sultry breeze,
And shineth like settling swarm
Of golden-winged and belted bees;
Or sparks around backsmith's door,
When bellows blow and FORCES roar.
love my pleasant, quaint old mill
1t minds me Of my early prime:
IT'S changed since then, but not so much
AS am by decay and time;
Its wrecks are messed from year to year,
But mine all dark and bare appear.
l stand beside the stream of life;
The mighty current sweeps along,
Lifting the flood-gates of my heart,
1t turns the magic wheel of song,
And grinds the ripened harvest brought
From out the golden field of thought.

HAVING A TRADE.-By all means
have trade. Do not 60 up and down
the world, and fnd nothing you can put
your hands to. You may not always be
as prosperous as you are now. Thank
heaven we live in no land of primogcni-
ture, hereditary succession. Each man
is morally bound to labor. Have some
thing you can turn your energies to when
times pinch-have trade, we repeat.
Educate your hands /; it will be an ever
lasting resource. We never knew a
man, who, with good trade, failed of
getting good living, and much more
with right application. What though
you are going to college or into pro-
fession ? The case is not altered-you
need it just as much. 1t will come in
play every day of your life. Discipline
of the hand should always 60 before
that of the head. We never knew col
lege boy that wans't better for substan-
cial trade. He always graduates with
the highest honors.-He is sure to be
a scholar The fact is, he knows how
to work-to conquer. He but transfers
himself from the shop to the study.
Young man, decide at once to learn a
trade apply yourself with all your mind
and heart and be its master, and if you
are not obliged to work at it, you have
$50 much laid by, and such kind Of
wealth can never be taken from you.
