Who Wants to be an Editorf

Some people think it is big thing to,
be an editor. Well, perhaps it ls-but
we don't see it. A fellow is dead
headed into circuses and concerts, and
rides on a few railroads free, but that
one fact destroys nearly all of the pleas
ure. When we had to scrimp for
week to get dollar to buy seat at the
opera, the delight experienced was pro-
2ortioned 10 the sacrifice Of money il
cost US. When you can ride on a rail-
road for nothing, you don't care snap
about going at all; and SO on. An edi-
tor occasionally gets presents, but they
are nine times out Of ten articles that
are of NO sort of use to him. In his
paper he may say forty good things uu-#
applauded, but if he happens, through
some carelessness or mistake, to, get off
an obn oxious paragraph, he catches
from the entire community. If he
omits anything he is lazy. Ii he speaks
of things as they are, people are mad.
If he giosses over-sm ,oths down the
rough points, he is bribed. If he calls
things by their proper names, he does
not furnish his readers with iokes-flo,-
is mullet. If he does, he is rattle
head, wants stability. If he condemns
the wrong, he is good fellow, but lacks
discretion. If he let's wrongs and iu:-
juries go unmentioned, he is coward.
If he exposes public man, he does so
through spite-is a tool of clique, or
belongs to the ''outs.'' If he INDUCES
in personalities he is blackguard-if
he does not, his paper is insipid. They
put Job through pretty hard course
Of sprouts, according to Holy Writ, but
there is nc record Of his ever having
been obliged to serve as editor of a
country paper. That would doubtless
have been more than even his patience
could have withstood. He probably, in
such a case, would have taken the ad-
vice Of his frinds- cursed, and died

what seemed at the moment casualty

hand trembled a little, and that his eyes
searched through the sentences of the
telegram in an eager way.
''Thank you" he said, as he returned
the paper, there are no particulars. "
Then, with a falling of the voice, he
added, II have son in that Company. )"
Remembering the light speech into
which want of reflection had betrayed
me, l did not venture to respond in any
way, lest the real concern [ now felt

pretense.

Don't Drink Much water.

bOn'C Dr1nk Much water.
| A person in good health, and in the
moderate pursuit of business, does not
| feel like drinking water, even in Sum
mer time. if not very thirsty. In fact,
great habltual thirst in Summer is the
sign of depraved appetite, resulting
from bad habits; or it is proof of in
ternal fever; and the indulg gence of even
so simple thing as drinking cold
water /, rgely in Summer time, es-
pecially in the early part of the day,
will produce disordered condition of
the system. Most persons have ex-
perienced more or less discomfort from
drinking largely of cold water. If ve
drink great deal, we must perspire a
great deal; this perspiration induces a
greater evaporation of heat from the
surface than some have to spare; the re-
suit is chill, then comes the reaction
of fever. Many a person rises from the
dinner or tea-table. in June, chilly, be-
cause too much cold fluids have been
taken. Those who drink little or moth
ing, even of cold water, in Summer, till
the afternoon, will be more vigorous,
more full of health, and much more free
from bodily discomfort, than those who
place no restraint on their potations.-

Soon after the occupation of Pike
county by the rebels, they arrested Mr..
Peyton Justice; an old man of rs years,
whom they retained in custody for sew
eral days and then took him to the
woods and shot him dead His body
was left lying where he was murdered
MIR Justice was Union man; but had
never taken any active part against the
rebellion. By reason Of his advanced
age he could not even use mnsket to
defend his home. He had committed
no ofense, and the only crime of which
he was guilty was that of devotion to
his country. He was worthy citizen
