An exchange draws the following
vivid picture of an editor: An editors
qualifications are various. IL - to
work harder, more hours in the day,
with less recreation, on less sleep, and
poorer pay than any Of your fellow
mortals. It is to be busy when your
neighbOrs are idle, buster when they
sleep, and busiest when they are enjoy
ing a good time. it is to be always in
a hurry. always under a press of busi-
ness, always "setting up when others
are lying down, and always charitably
distributing the results Of our daily
labor 1t is to have your opinion al
ways put to "prOOf," and seldom into
practice. 1t is to advertise other peo-
plels wants, wishes and wares to an
nounce facilities for pleasure; to herald
the approach Of diseases and the inven-
tiou Of cures for them; to make known
who has been robbed, how much, where,
who is the robber, his personal history,
his trial, sentence, and its execution
1t is to receive nice fruit and notice 1T;
to be shown natural curiOsities and de-
scribe them; to be everywhere at all
times, and to be able to answer all
questions on all subjects. 1T is to pub
lish too much sentiment for one, too
much politics for another, and too little
news for all. 1t lis to make dozen enc

slider himself aggrieved. It is to take
complimentary tickets to everything,

tices. 1t is to be bored by friends sug-
gesting how you should carry on your
business, and bullied by those whom
you have hit in vulnerable spots. It is
a life of mingled good and III, trial and
triumph, never-ending toll and never
beginning felicity, wherein you work
out your allotted time with the devil"
always at your elbow, calling for his
sole end in this life-a little more copy.
