after the incidents referred to in the last
chapter, i have just had the pleasure of
shaking hands with Mr.. Edwin Marlton.'
is he in the city, uuele?' asked Ida,
much surprised at this piece of information:
yes, my love and has promised to call
upon you in about an hours time. DO run
up stairs and make your toilet at once, and
be ready to meet him with one of your sweet
est SMILES said Uuderdonk.
Meet torhea-radish with one of my
sweetest smilesr exclaimed Ida, Indignant
". Indeed, uncle, do not know how to
act the hypocrte as yet
sForked.radish! Why, Ida, that is SIN
gular, not to say very disrespectful term, to
apply to so fine gentleman as MIR. Marlton.
Come, take back those words like good
girl
Excuse me, uncle; l cannot retract.-
Mr.. Marlton has vegetated so long among
the saud-hills, and has made so many con-
quests among the suu-bonuet tribe in the
back.woods, that he supposes-just as he is
about going to seed-that all he has to do,
is to stalk into my presence, and transplant
me to his own cornfeld. But, uncle, | OBJ
ject to any such experiments in husdondry''
Ida, such language may strike you as
very witty, my child but | assure you that
it is very far from being becoming to young
lady, said Undertook. 'Mr. Marlton is
worthy of respectful language at least; see
ing that he is most wellbred, clever and
kind hearted gentleman Suspend all such
remarks and opinions until you are better
acquainted with him, or, l am sure you will
regret it hereafter
Ida, perhaps, feeling the injustice of her
remarks, left the room without reply to
her uucles reproof; while Undertook wiped
the glass of his spectacles with an unusually
nervous hand.
The dear child takes on so much about
this NATTER said he, shat Very much fear
that she will object to the match altogether
Then pacing the ROOM for some moments, as
if in deep thought, he suddenly stopped be-
fore large uncouth mirror, and said Sure,
ly she will yield to my wishes, in this one
case, at least
All! Mr.. Underdonk, would you be viii,
ling, in your calmer moments, to have that
hitherto happy girl yield to your wishes, II
you thought it even possible, that she might
be rendered unhappy thereby? Would you
be willing, because of her love and respect
for you, to have her give away sealed, sac
rafced and outraged hearts to man whom
she cannot love? Perhaps, if these ques-
tions had been put to the well-meaning old
man, vein of feeling and thoughts would
have been struck, Of a far different ohagao'

None but editors know how much gratui
tous labor they are called upon to give to
hundreds of objects, ay, and costly material,
too, for which they have to pay the hard cash.
Does man patents pump handle, abee hive,
or q steam engine-that will put thousands
or hundreds of thousands of dollars into his
pocket by the sale of 'rights'-tbe editor is
expected to listen to long disquisitions on.
its manifold advantages, 'peruss certificates
of its excellence, turn machinist, and appre-.
hend all its complications, and then fashion
himself into its historian, and gratutously
puff it into notoriety for all which service
perhaps the pateatee will take his paper one
year! Or merchant will invite the editor
10 look over his stock of new good, spend an
hour in examining delicate ia brics, write
long puff that A. or B. has the prettiest and
choicest goods in the place, (and make
every other merchant angry, and perhaps
stop paper and advertising, ,)-fe all which
he gets two orthree insertions Of an advertise.
ment, amounting to two or three dollars, and.
loses ten times the amount by offending
others, Or another merchant wishes the
Charleston wholesale prices of groceries each
week, requiring half an hours writing and
other labor-and the generous soul will take
the paper whole year, # you aOiH let him
have it for sl.50 per year! Or perhaps a
lover of thorough-breds wishes to make
match race, and put fortha challenge worth,
at advertising rates, S.. He expects to win
by his race $500 or S1,00O-yet be has
the modesty to the editor to give place to
his business advertisement for the magnif-
cent sum of nothing! Or John Smith dies.
His name had never reached ten miles from
the place he called home, yet so impressed
are his relatives with his good qualities, that
the editor, at his own costs and charges, must
parade his biography before a condoling
Woodland often is expected to write it be-
sides! These exactions upon editors rami-
fy though all the multifarious pursuits of
man, and are levied very much as matter
of right.
Those who expect so much should recol-
lect that editors are conducting a private
business, like other men, and are just as
much entitled to make living and to get
rich. Many look upon newspapers as they
do upon the several public ofices-as kept
up and kept open for the special benefit of
any man who wishes advice or conveyancing
done gratis. Oh how inefably mean is
that man who would 6lch from his neighbor
his labor or capital without equivalent! Ask
a farmer for bushel of wheat, and pay him
with Il thank you, sir and see how soon he
will demand the hard dollar. Ask the mer-
chant for yard of 123 cent prints, and say
'thank ye'-and he will tell you to fork over
the change. But many of these same men
will come to printing Office, beg paper
week after week, and meanly sneak off with
out thought of offering payment, and think
the editor niggardly for prssuming to expect
