WHAT AN EDlToR MIGHr HAVE BEEN
Holland, the editor of the Springfield,
Mass, Republican, has been up in Yer.
mont to "where he came from," and he
thus sketches what he should have been
If he had not left home and become an
editor:
Your correspondent would have
grown stalwart and strong, with horny
bands, and q face as black as the ace OF
spades. He would have taught school
winters, worked on the farm summers,
and gone out haying fifteen days in July
and taken for pay the iron work and run
ming gear of wagon. At two and twen-
ty, or thereabouts, he would have begun
to pay attentions to a girl with father
worth two thousand dollars, and a spit
curl on her fOrehead-a girl who always
went to singing ohool, and set in the
seats. and sung without opening her
mouth-a pretty girl any way. Well, af-
ter seeing her home from singing school
two or three years, taking her to Fourth
OF July, and getting about hundred dol.
lars together, he would have married and
settled down. Years would pass away,
and that girl with the spit curl would
have eleven children as sure as YOU
ive-seven boys and four girls. We
should have had a hard time IN bringing
them up, but they would soon be able
enough to do the milking and help their
mother wash days, and I, getting indie,
pendent at last, ard feeling a little stiff in
the jeints, should be elected member Of
the legislature, having been an assessor
and school committeeman for years. In
the evening of my days, with my pipe in
my mouth, thirteen barrels of cider in
the cellar, and newspaper in my hands,
should sit and look over the markets,
through pair of gold.mounted specta,
cles, and wonder why should such a
strange, silly piece as this be published.
The mountain Democrat., 1864-11-26

TIE wellknown Irish landlord, the late
Marquis Of Waterford, was in the habit Of
riding in the second class carriages Of the
railroad in the vicinity Of his estate. ~
Such course very highly disgusted the
proprietors, and they resolved to cure the
Marquis. as they said, of his eccentricity
Accordingly, on one occasion, as he was
sitting in second.class carriages a sweep,
who had previously been in a third class
compartment, was invited in, and placed
by the Marquis side. His lordship got
out and purchased first. class ticket; on
delivering which to him the clerk laug he'd
-as il the company had gained q victory.
But Lord Waterford quietly returned to
the train, gave the 6rstclass ticket 10 the
sweep, gravely escorted him to his place
of honor, and then resumed his own place
in the second-class carriage, from which
the proprietors never again sought to re.
move him.
