Their sanctum is cmphatically

are sharpened, and the fires of go-
Mus find a genial hearth-stone,
where their every blaze may be
made practical, appropriate, orna-
mental and beautiful. 1t is not at
all marvellous that even the devil of
printing offices often grows to be
our best and wisest philosophers;
they in fact cannot well help it, for
the richest food of a practical in
tellectuality is always thrownaround
them, and the very typos they ham
die daily, though bodily only mere
duh lead, have in and about them
thousand times more mastery in
telligence and intuition than whole
faculty of mere sheepskinprolessors.
Hence the chair editorial is to be
likened to some high and grand OBJ
servatory, where intelligence realizes
lies greatest advantages, but where
fools die early and true genius often
finds its true destiny.
We have always had a wonderful
reverence for an editor. We have
often looked in on one Of them and
thought as we saw him surrounded
by great hecatombs Of newspapers
that he had the best chance to "know
all'' of any man we knew OF. We
thought he was a fee simple owner
of a grand panorama of universal
knowledge, which we could rever-
ence even if we went to school tol
a thousand years. What a mistake,
because an editor de .facto will be
prepared to appreciate the situation,
you will then learn, however beau.
tiful and attractive the chair editorial
might be to a " locker on in Venis,
