Ey-DR. Everts of the Laporte Times
has closed his editorial functions with that
paper. In his valedictory he takes leave
of his friends in the following words:
In taking leave Of our readers, 10 say
that We do SO with deep regret is no alfec
tation. The attachment which springs up
In the breast of an Editor. aud grows stron-
ger with years toward those With whose
minds he comes into such close and con-
slant communion belongs only TO him-it
can be appreciated by no other. Ii is un-
like any other attachment. 1t requires no
demonstration of reciprocity. 1t takes far
granted that which every other attachment
demands, and the relation is complete in it
self. Believing as we do that the past be-
longs to the past-that every mans duty
is the present-that which comes nearest
him--.we have no apology to make for
shors cummings IN our Editorial career
even for the errors we have committed
W hat we have done. has been done in earn
est, and earnestness in whatever one does
is its own vindication.
Our motto is. and has been;
Onward, upward. never tirng-
Stopping not cen to repent;
Leave thy sin, behind, expiring,
Nor IL vain Ger them lament
Leave the dead the dead to bury
Tnou art wanted on LIES way;
Think remorse not expiatlon,
Or that darkness EARNS the day,
That we have attached to us many friends
in the relation we have occupied is a
source Of much qualification. That we
have aroused against us prejudices, and
arrayed feelings Of enmity, is not a source
Of regret. 1t is only an assurance that we
have been felt, and the man who abors as
putlic man and is not felt, had better
once for all, take himself away-ceasa to
be public. We part this relation with
oar friends with the liveliest sense of graft
tude. We take leave of our enemies with
a hearty wish that they may continue sucl
SO long as their convictions require them tC
be so. There is nc feeling OF luminosity il
our noture for them. We look upon mar
as the outbirth Of the Diyine-.he ulti
mate of earthly Creation. AS such We
love him above all created things. Their,
are some men from whom we instructive
ly shrink away--with whom we feel NJ
craving of fellowship; but the element 0
hatred was not compounded in our nature
or has been eradicated by our belief ano
life-experiences. To our contemporaries,
of the Press. we owe many!obligalions.-
We love the Guild, and shall ever hold the
Brethren high in our esteem and affection
wherever, or however fate shall dispos,
our future. There are no men in any o
lifv's occupations more devo cd 10 thei
profession than they are. Their tasks ar,
often laborious-their responsibilities grea
(if they are honest men, their labors al
most never rewarded by pecumary inde
pendence. For ourself, We lore the life
and with all its discontents will find it diff
ficult to long divorce ourself from it. Blu
enough. Reader. our labors now closed
are with you. Our pen for a time remains
still, but for you our heart shall never b.
