Or EDIToRs.-Many people estimate the abil-
ity of newspaper and the industry and talents
of its editor by the quantity of editorial matter
which it contains. 1t ID comparatively easy
task for frothy writer to pour out daily, col
umns of 'cords-rords, upon any and all sub
iee;s, His ideas may flow in one weak, washy,
everlasting food," and his command of lam
guaga may enable him to string them together
like punches of onion, AID get his paper may
be meaget and poor concern. But what is the
labor and toll of such man who displays his
"leaded matter ever so largely, to that i'm
posed on the judicious, well-informed editor,
who exercises his vocation with an hourly con-
sciousness of his responsibilities and duties, and
devotes himself to the conduct of his paper with

upon patient. without regard to show or dis
play? Indeed. the mere trritng part of editing

care. the time employed in selecting. is fay more
important, and the fact of good editor is better
shown by his selections than anything else and

his labors understood and appreciated, by the

per-its uniform. consistent course-its princi-
ples--its aims-its 1aanliness-its dignity-its
propricty. To preserve these as they should be
preserved, is enough to occupy fully the time
and attention of any man. If to this be added
the general supervision of the newspaper estab-
lishment, which most editors have to- encounter,
the wonder is how they can find time room to
write at all.-Aierandria Gazette.
