Captain Maryatt most truly says Il

is it in labor; it is the continual atten-

it we're, the publication. One day pa
per is no sooner corrected and printed
than on comes another 1t is the stone
of Sisyphus, and the endless repetition
of toll and constant weight upon the in
tellect and faculties; at the same time
you are compelled to the severest drudgs
cry. To write for a paper is very well
but to edit one is to condemn yourself to
elovarvn
