We publish the following beautiful compost

other purpose. 1t is generally the practice, in
fact, we may say that it is always demanded as a
guarantee Of good faith on the part Of CORES,

editor their names, leaving to his honor the
entire suppression of their personality so far as
! the public are concerned. There are instances
however, where unusual genius is displayed in
literary productions, when editors ignore this

world the benefit Of the emanatiOns Of superior

WE suppose our readers will understand what
" Sojourner means if we do not. The fact is,
that from past experience neither the Govern
ment nor the public have any great reason to
place too much confidence in the pretensions of
coming here with loud-sounding
assurances of what they are going to do for the
benefit of the peoble, and their knowledge of
certain branches of business which they conceive
would, if engaged in. confer lasting benefits
upon the country. A case in point occurred not
long since in the person Of Mr.. Junker, who |
