EDITING a PAPER

We copy from the Olpelousas Gazette,
Of Janary l3, 1880, The following which
shows that twenty eight years ago the
difficulties of an editor of a newspaper
were the same as they are now, and the
same as will always exist:
"The truth is an editor cannot step
without lreading on somebody's toas--
Ii he express his opinions fearlessly and
frankly, he is arrogant and presumptu-
Gus. If he states facts without COM
ments, he dares not 10 express his
sentiments. If he conscientiously refu.

INDIAN SUMMER.

Ere the bending skies OF Autumn
With their son and hszy glow,

With their mists Of rain and snow.

Have all drooped their fragrant leaflets,
BIighted by the frosty air;
While the leaves Of brown and crimson,
Rest beneath the forest trees,
Waited down from waving branches,
By the sighing Autumn breeze;
Just before cold Winters banner

And the flowers that yet are lingering.

TEARS AND LAUGHTER What makes

good or bad. If it is the expression Of
levity or vanity, it is frivolous. Ii it be

WRITING.

1t may sometimes be somewhat easy
and pleasant TO write, but never so easy
aud pleasant as it is not to write. The
odd thing, too. about the work of the
pen is this; that it is often done bes, by
the men who like it least, and shrink
from it the most, and that it is often the
most labori US wiring along which the
readers mind glides most easily and
pleasurably. 1t is not so in other mat
ters. As the general rule, no man does
well the work which he dislikes. No
man will be a good preacher who dis
likes preaching. No man will be good
anatomist who hates dissecting. Sir
Charles Napier, it must be confessed,
was a great soldier, though he hated
fighting; and as for wiring, some men
nave been the best writers who hated
writing, and who would never have
penued a line but under the pressure oi
necessity. There is John Foster; what
