How TO Edit a Paper.

1t is wonderful isays the Wheeling Register
how many people know Just how paper should
be edited Men who haven't the ability to act
as first clerk to lame wood sawyer, and who
would require Gyc years apprenticeship 10
be good bricklayer's assistant and carry hod,
can tell inst bow TO edit paper We quite
agree with a luckless individual who has the
misfortune to be an editor, that to run our To-
cal columns Just as everybody would have them
run. would require space equal to frs;-cIass
.dooryarl. and then such hotch-po;ch Of stuff
as they would have presented, no mortal man
ever set eye on. Comply with the request Of
everybody, insert all they would have inserted,
elaborate and publish all the yarns that are
poured into our car with expectation Of their
appearing in print; puff this, condemn that
onj let the other slide, print all "p;eces' that
are handed in. and what a mess these columns
would teen with. Everything poured into the
ear Of the local" is sezpectel to come through
him in the shape or printers ink and paper, in
long columns Of gossip-anl il he does not
dress it all up in the best shape, somebody is
mad, the editor is fool, The paper don't amount
to anything, and its local reading Is slaler than
diluted dish water reduced. How unrcasona-
ble! These columns arc expected to admit
everything, no matter how worthless every
joke, however Pointless; every yarn, however
stale; scraps Of family history that never should
be read by the pubic; slaDdcroas tales Of
neighbors and puffs Of everything that any
body takes notion ought to be puGed-else
these columns don't amount to slucks Our
rule in this matter is to please ourselves, and
then we are sure Of pleasing somebody.

Christmas eve, with the " star in the East CLEAN
ing bright
And dreamed that wandered with spirits that
night,
From grand gilded hall and rich carpe,ed floor,
To the garrets and cellars that sheltered the poor.
In palaces pride layished wealth to adorn,
And in huts, found hearts that were waiting the
dawn.
There was ore wrctched place, where woman
crouched low,
Starving and shivcring, pale, and abject in woe
Yet an angel. in pity and love, hovered near,
Gently touched the worn brow and dried the hot
Though heart broken, hopeless, faint, friend!ess,
fOrlOrn,
The sprityoice whispers her, Wait for the da NJ.
Then again on the wing. and we entered room,
Where proud man was seated, all shrouded ia
gloom.
His dark, haggard face was corroded with care.
On his right and his left two angels strive there
lie curses his fate. but a voice seems 10 warn
On his right says hopefully, "Wait for the
dawn
To his left--ihe dark spirit. yet lowering near,
Subtle, willy temptations still pours in hisea
'Tis but slight crime, and esrth's honors are won
Nor the world ever know that the deed has been
Do it not-wcalth and fame, home and friends, are
all gone.
But he hears those soft, pleading words, Wait
for the dawn
Next grand, gorgeous chamber we entered, and
there
Wealth and luxury layishedits gems, rich and rare
But young, lovely girl, tossed and moaned on
the bed
Clenched hands and wild sobs told ofhappness lcd.
With wall of despair she cries. "why was born?'
Still the angel Of hope whispcrs, " Wait for the
dawn"
So we sped with the spirits-from hoycl 10 hall.
Aud sighed az the scrpcnt's trail over them all "
Life shadows, earth5 taint, with our best joy
will blend
Death viii cast olour fctters, and come as friend.

Shall weary hearts rest, in the beautiful dawn.

THE TRUNDLE BED.

As rrmmaged through the garrett
Iist'ning 20 the falling rain
As il pattered on the shingles,
And against the window pane,
Peeping over chests and boxes,
Which with dust were thickly spread,
Saw in the farthest corner
What was once my trundle bed.
And drew it from the recess,
Where it had remained so long,
Hearing all the while the music
0fmy mothers voice in song,
As she sung in sweetest accents,
What | since have often read,
Hush, my dear. lie stil and slumber,
Holy angels guard thy bed"
As I listened, recollection
That thought had been forgot.
Come with all the gush of memory
Rushing, thronging to the spot,
As wandered back 10 childhood,
To those merry days Of yore
When knelt beside my mother,
BY this bed upon the floor.
Then il was with hands so gently
Placed upon nv infant head.
That she taught my lips TO utter
Carefully the words she said.
Never can they be forgotten.
Deep are they in memory GraTcn-
" Hal,owed be Thy name, Oh Father,
Father. Thou who art in Heaven"
This she taught me, then she told me
OF its import, great and deep,
After which learn to utter
"Nov they Law me down to sleep
Then il was with hands uplifted,
And in accents soft and mild.
That nv mother asked d" Our Fatherr'
Father, do Thou bless my child"
Years have passed, and that dear mother
Long has Wondered meath the sod,
And trust her sainted spirit .

Never has from memory fled,
And it comes in all its freshness,

Please sir, will you buy my chestnuts?"
"Chestuuts? Nol' returned Ralph Moore,
looking carelessly down on the upturned face,
whose large brown eyes, shalowed by tangled
curls of haxen hair, were appealing 50 pitifuly
to his own, " What do want with chestnuts p

little one, reassured by the rough kindness Of
his tone. Nobody seems to care for en-

She fairly burst into tears. and Moore, who
had been on the point of brushing BY her,

"Nay, little one, do not cry in such bro
ken-hearted way" said Ralph, smoothing her
hair down with careless gentcncss, al don't

You. If that will DO you any good"
He did not stay TO hear the delighted inco-

While Ralph Moore was indulging in these
reflections, the darl-orbed little damse whom
he had confronted was dashing down ihc street
with quick elastic step, utterly regardless Of
the basket Of unsold nuts that dangcd upon
her arm. Down an obscure lane she dlrted,
between tall ruinous rows Of old houses, and up
a narrow wooden staircase to a room where a
pale, neat looking woman, with large brown
eyes like her own, was sewing as if the breath
of life depended on every stitch, and two little
ones were playing in the sunshine that tempo
rarily supplied the place of the absent FIRE.
