An Editor on Editing


Artemus Ward gives the following ad-
vice &c Young men who aspire to become
editors OF newspapers
Before you go for an editor, young
man, pause and take a biz think Do
not rush into editorial harness rashly.
Look around aud sec if there is not an
omnibus to drive some soil somewhere

quontly no. been called upon to furnish
the motive power for a threatening ma.
chine; but fancy Tat the life Of an cd
itor who IS forced to write, write, write,
whether ne 'ecls write or not, is much
like the steed in question. If the yeas
and neighs could be obtained, we believe
that the intelligent horse would decide
that the threshing machine is preferable
to the sanctum editorial.
The editors work is never done. lie

joy themselves in a variety of ways but
the editor cannot. He must stick tena-
ciously to his quill. The press is like
a sick baby, mustn't be left alone for a
minute. If the press is left to Itself

The elegant Nantaliui, reduced to
mangled turniugs, described his life as

But there is a good time coming yet,
we feel confident, for the editor--a time

of "stop my paper" will no more greet
