A SHORT SERMON FOR EDIroRs-It is only of late
years that Journalism has risen to the dignity Of pro
fession which requires much social standing educs
tion and moral WORTH combined with energy, to sue
ceed in, as medicine law commerce. The majority
of the men now in it did not take it up because they
preferred it. Some who have failed lawyers ministers
and physicians have been driven to journalism and
achieved The fascination Of the life, with al
its wear and tear, cannot be denied. There is ex
liberation to the mind in the constant changes of the
kaleidoscope made of the news Of the world, which
keeps the mind constantly occupied With something
novel. To have the events of the day passing, il
were in panorama before the minds eye is of itsel
absorbing.
We hear great deal abont the /" exhausting effects
Of the life Of journalist the mind and body bu,
it may be doubted whether the life Of physician

and cheerfulness in both Of these professions. The
truth is that the many brilliant of letters
have been borne to untmely graves is not that they
worn out by their work but BY their habits The
hours many of them keep tempt them to disspate.
But it cannot be gainsayed that if Journalists will lead
regular lives and cultivate habits Of soberness and
cleanliness they will live and last as long as other
men. Whisky" is the epitsph Of half the literary

President GRANTS RESIGNATION CALLED FoR-Tbat
Radical Of the Radicals, Wendell Phillips in article
published in the AntSlavery Standard. demands of
the President immediate resignation. The article ac
cuses the fallen idol Of the Republicans with ncapa-
blity, stupidity and criminal negligence. The bill Of
Indictment curiously enough corresponds with that
preferred by the Democrats Reciting in detail the
fearful state of affairs in the South describing them Of
course to anything bat Republican tyranny and mis-
management, Wendell continues:
Meanwhile Grant recreates excessively. Rational
recreation in itself is good, and sometimes very i'm
portant If be absolutely needs and is likely
tinue to need mueh he ought in the present condi
ton Of affairs to resign that the country may have
what it very much needs-a President in fact as well
as in name. No thoughtful observer of the tendency

potless drifting of this summer has been toward dan.

Pilotless drifting highly descriptive Of the aim

unta will be held responsible by the people for this
