The Mystery Of Editing.

The world at large do not understand the
mysteries Of newspaper; and, as in a watch
the hands that are seen are but the passive
instruments Of the spring, which is never seen
SO, in IA newspaper, the most worthy causes
of its prosperity are often least observed or
knogn. Who suspects the benefit which the
paper derives from the enterprise, the vigil
lance and the watchfnl fidelity of the publish.
err Who pauses to think how much OF the
pleasure Of reading is derived from the skill
and care of the printer2 We feel the blem-
ishes Of printing if they exist, but seldom OBJ
serve the excellencies.
We eat hearty dinner, but do not think
Of the farmer that raised the materials thereof,
or the cook that prepared them with infinite
pains and skill. But a cook of vegetables,
meat, pastries and infinite JoHbonS, has a
paradisaica office compared with the editor
Before him pass in review all the exchange
newspapers. He is to know all their contents
To mark for other eyes the matters that re-
qure attention. His scissors are to be alert,
and clip with incessant industry all the little
items that together form so large an interest
in the news department. lie passes in review
each week every State in the Union, through
the newspaper lens He looks across the
ocean and sees strange lands, and following
the sun he searches all around the world for
material 1t will require but one second 5
time for the readers to take in what two
hours search produced. BY him are read
the manuscripts that swarm the Office like
flies in July. 1t is his frown that dooms
them. 1t is his hand that condenses a whole
page into line. 1t is his sternness that re-
stricts sentimental obituaries, that gives young
poets o twig on which to sit and sing their
first lays.
And the power behind the throne, in news
papers as in higher places, is sometimes as
important as the throne itself Correspond
ents, occasional or regular, stand in awe at
that silent power which has the last chance
at an article, and may send it forth in glory
or humility. And in short, as the body de-
ponds upon good digestion, so the health of
paper depends upon that vigorous digestion
which goes ON by means Of the editor.
Ought they not to be bonored? Aud since
little fame attends them, they should at least
have their creature comforts multiplied
From that dark and dismal den in which they
have So long had purgatorial residence, they
are at length translated.
