NEWSPAPER EDIroRs 1t would be
difficult TO compress more in few worls
than is found in the following from the
Chambers Journal:
A newspaper editor must, like the
poet, be born to his calling. in the major
ity of instances, no amount of training
will fit person for such a post unless he
have natural taste and aptitude for this
description of literary labor for, although
many persons are able to write ''leaders,"
or literary articles, for newspaper, few
can be entrusted with its editoria! control,
few can scent out the libel which turks IN
almost every communication, few canl
distinguish the report intended to please
the speaker instead of informing the
nation, and the letters written to ser, Q
private interests instead of public ends
still fewer who can tell at glance tho
kind of literary or political material which
will promote the circulation Of journal
in fact, good editors great difficulty
is not as to what he should put in, hut
what he should keep ont of bis columns.
Successful editors have not been great
authors, but men of good common sense.
anl their good common sense has taught
them to write but little themselves, but
to read, judge, select, alter and csnlbine
the writings Of others.

The Value of O Little.
Do thy little, do it we'll;
Do what right and reason teD;
Do what wrong and sorrow claim;
Conquer sin and cover shame.
Do thy little, though it be
Dreariness and drudgeiy;
They whom Christ apostles made,
Gathered fragments when he babe.
Do thy little; never mind
Though thy brethren be unkind;
Though the men who ought to smile,
Mock and taunt thee for a while.
Do thy little; never fear
While thy Savior standeth near;
Let the world its javelns throw,
On thy way undaunted 60.
Do thy little; God hath made
Million leaves for forest shade;
Smallest stars their glory bring,
God employeth everything.
Do thy little, and when thou
Feelest on thy palid brow,
Ere has fed the vital breath,
Cold and damp the sweat Of death
Then the little thou hast done;
Little battles thou hast won,
Little masteries achieved,
Little wants with care relieved,
Little words in love expressed,
Little wrongs at once confessed,
Little favors kindly done,
Little tolls thou didst not shun,
Little graccs meekly worn,
Little sights with patience borne
These shall crown the pillowed head,
Holy light upon thee shed,
These are treasures that shall rise
Ear beyond the smiling skies.

SECRETARY STANTON ON THE SITUATION
The Washington correspondent Of the Boston
Post sends the following to that Journal:
Hon John Covode called upon Secretary
Stanton yesterday, and there ensued long and
friendly discourse on the status Of the country
Mr. Stanton appeared very desirous of discuss
ing the current events Of national import, and
expressed himself freely. He confessed that
from the very outset the disputations of the
Executive and Legislative branches of the Gov
ernment had caused him the liveliest alarm,
which, since the movement toward impeach
mcht, had increased to an apprehension of rev.
oluti"n and anarchy: The burden of bis re-
marks was in regard to certain acts OF the
President and Congress, and he pointed gloom
lily to the deleterious effects of each upon the
nation. In parting with Covode, Mr.. Stanton
remarked: | aided to place two million of
lneu in tie field to put dowo the rebellion !;
three hundred thousand have bitten the dust,
and an equal number are clippIes throughout
the land; and yet with all this tremendous ef-
i'rt aod corresponding sacrifice the couutry,
N my judgment, is shadowed with gloom of q
dark ker hour than was incident to any crisis of
the late war" We give the above as we 6nd
