GFooD-BYF--The editor of the Albany
IN. W Register comments upon these
simple words, SO common, and yet so tull
of solemn and tender meaning, as follows:
slIow many emotions cluster around
that word! How full of sadness, and to
us how full of sorrow it sounds! 1t is
with US consecrated word. We heard
it once within the year as we hope never
to hear it again. 1t was in the chamber
Of death, in the still hour of nights noon
The curtains to the windows were all
closed, the lights were all shaded, and we
stood in the dim, solemn twilight with
others arornd the bed of the dying. The
dannps of death were on the pale young
brow, and coldness was on her lips, as we
kissed her for the last time while living
Goodbye, my daughter,' we whispered,
and Goodbye, father came from her dy-
Ing lips. We know not that she ever
spoke more, but Goodbye was the last
we ever heard of her sweet voice. We
hear that sorrowful word often and often
as we sit alone, busted with the memories
OF the past. We hear 1t in the silence of
the night, in the hours of nervous wakcful-
ness, as we lie upon our bed thinking of
the loved and lost to us. We hear it in
our dreams, when her sweet face comes
back to us, as it was in loneliness and
beauty. We hear it when we sit beside her
grave In the cemetry, where she sleeps
alone, with no kindred as vet by her side
She was the hope of our life, the prop to
lean on when age should come upon u.s.,
and life should be running to its dregs.-
The hope and the prop is gone, and we
care not how soon we go down TO sleep
beside our darling, beneath the shadow Of
of the trees in the city of the dead"

THE EDlroR-A schoolboy's compost
tion on "Thc Editor" ran as follows, in a
school not tar from here:
Tile Editor.-The editor is one of the
happiest animals in the world. He can go
to the circus, afternoon and evening, with
out paying cent; also to inquests and
hangings. He has free tickets to picnics
and strawberry festivals, gets wedding
cake sent him, and sometimes gets lick
ing, but not often, tor he can take things
back in the next issue, which he generally
does. l never knew only one editor to
get lickt. His paper busted that day, and
he couldn't take anything back.
While other folks have to go to bed
early, the editor can sit up late every
night, and sec all that's going on. The
boys think it's big thing to hang on till
10 o'clock When l am man l mean to
be an editor, so that can stay out nights.
Then that will be bully. The editor don't
have to saw wood or do any chopping, ex-
ccpt with his scissors Railroads cit up
excursions for him, knowing if they didn't
de'd make em git up and git. In politics
he don't care much who he goes for, if
they are on his side. If they amt, he goes
for EN- any way; SO it amounts to nearly
the same thing. There is great many
people trying to be editors who can't, and
some of them have been in the profession
for years. They can't see it, though. If
| was asked if had rather have an educa-
tion or be circus-rider, would say, let
mo po and be all editor.

A BOYS TRIALS.

We do not think that sny boy ever
put on bis first long.tailed coat with.
out sense Of shame He fret twislr
his back half on looking at IL in the
glass, ard then, when he steps out OF
door, it seems as il all creation was
in broad grin. The sun laughs in
the sky. the cows turn to look AT
him; there are faces at every win
dow; his very shadow mocks him.
The very boards crcak with con-
sciousness of the strange spectacle,
and the old pair Of pantaloons that
stop light in the garret window nod
with derision. If he is obliged to
pass a group OF men and boys, the
trial assumes its most terrific stage.
His legs get all mixed up with embar-
rassment, and the Zap of the dangling
appendage il felt against them, moved
by the wind of his IN agitation; he
could not feel any worse were it
dish rag, TO be worn by him as badge
OF disgrace. 1t is q happy time for
him when he gets to church and sits
down with bis coat tail under him /;
but he is still apprehensive with
thinking Of the Sunday Schools, and
wondering if any Of the children will
ask him TO swing bis long-tailed blue.
The entrance into society may be
said to take place after boyhood has
passed away, yet multitude take the
initiative before their hearts are pre-
sentable. 1t is II great trial to tender
or tough age For any overgrown
boy to 20 to = door, knowing there
are q dozen of girls within, and knock
or ring with absolute certainty that
in two minutes all their eyes will be
upon him, is q severe test Of courage.
To 20 before these girls aud make II
satisfactory tour Of the room without
stepping ON their toes, and then sit
down and dispose Of ones hands with
out putting them in ones pocket, is
an achievement of which few can
boast. If boy can get so far as TO
measure of ten yards Of tape with
one Of the girls, and cut it short at
one end, he may stand q chance 10
spend q pleasant evening; but let
him not fatter himself that the trials
of the evening are over. There comes
at last the breaking up. The dear
girls don their hoods and put on their
shawls and look 40 saucy, so mischie-
vous and unimpressible, as if they did
not wish any one TO 60 home with
them. Then comes the pinch, and the
boy having the most pluck makes up
to the prettiest girl, his heart in his
throat, and his tongue cIinging to the
roof Of his mouth, and crooking his el-
bow, stammers out the words: "Shall
see you home ?" She touches her
fingers to his arm, and thus they walk
home about q foot apart, feeling as
awkward as goslings. As soon rs she
is safe inside her own doors, he struts
home, and really thinks he has been
and gone and done it.

FUTURE PUHIsHMENT.-Let the fair.
est star be selected, like beauteous
island in the vast and shoreless ocean
OF the azure heavens, as the future
home Of the criminals from the earth.
and let them possess whatever they
most love, and all that il is possible
tor God to bestow let them be en-
dowed with undying bodies, and with
minds which shall forever retain their
intellectual powers; let no Saviour
ever press his claims upon them, no
God reveal himself to them, no Sab.
bath ever dawn upon them, no saint
ever live among them, no prayer ever
be heard within their borders, but let
society exist there forever, smitten
only by the leprosy of hatred to God.
and with utter selfshness as its all
prevailing and eternal purpose-then,
as sure as the law Of righteousness
exists, on which rests the throne of
God, and the government of the uni
verse, society so constituted must
work out for itself hell of solitary
bitter suffering to which there is no
limit except the capacity of finite
nniure! Alas the spirit that is with
out love TO its God or to its neighbor
is already possessed by a power which
must at last create for its own self.
