GLORIOUS SHOWER While that bold
and commanding champion Of Reform
General Butler-was telling potent truths to
the crowd which oscillatcd within the circle
of his hearers, one Of those old fashioned,
carth-moYiDg, ante>war rains fell. And the
harder it poured, the louder grew the voice,
and the more trenchant the blows of the
speaker. Hurra for reform The thundcrs
of cloeucncc were followed by an electric
fash of sympathy in the hearts of the brave
men who "stood the Storm" as the food
gates Of heaven seemed to be removed for
such baptism as the parchcd earth Of our
town had not had for over year.
Africa took advantage of the shower to run
from before the face of Gen. Butler, whose
whitening rebuke Of wrong was more than
half of it could stand.
Some one in the crowd observed, that the
Reform Speakers are filed with thundcrs Of
cloquence, and can strike spontaneous cleo
trio shocks in the hearts Of the people. Ano>
ther delighted listener said "Why, wherever
these gen tlemen speak the rain follows-thcy
beat cannonading all hollow. Why look,
said be, we hayn't bad soaking rain here
since last February, and this rain will be
worth to me alone, over five hundred dollars.
Editing paper is a very pleasant thing.
If it contain, too much political matter, peo-
pie won't have it: if it contains too little they
won't have it. If the type is too large, it
don't contain enough reading matter; il the
type is too small they can't read it. If we
publish telegraph reports, folks say they are
nothing but lies; if We omit them, they say
NC have no enterprise, or S press them for
political effect. If VIC have in a few jokes,
folks say We are nothing but rattle>head; i;
if we omit jokes, they say We arc old fossil. If
we publish original matter, they blame US
for not giving them original selections; if we
publish original selections, folks say VIC are
lazy for rot giving them what they have not
read in some other paper. If VIC give man
complimentary notices, We are censurcd fer
being partial, il we do not, all hands say that
we are great hog. II ne insert an article
that pleascs the ladies, men become jealous;
if we do not ester to their wishes, the paper
is not fit to be in their houses. If we attend
church, they say it is only for effect; if VIC
do not, they denounce US as dcceitful and
desperately wicked. If we speak we'll orany
act, folks say that we dare not do otherwise !;
if we censure, they call US traitor. If
we remain in our Office and attend TO business,
folks say We are too proud TO mingle with
our fellows. II we do not pay all bills
promptly, folks say we are not to be trusted !;
if we do pay promptly, they say we stole the
money
