Honor the scissors.

The Newspaper Reporter says: some
people, ignorant of what good editing is,
ina agine the getting mp of selected matter
to be the easiest work in the world to do,
whereas it is the incest work that is done
on paper. If they find the editor with
scissors in hand, they are sure tosay, "Eh
that is the way you setup original matter,
eh! 7" accompanying their new and witty
questions with an idiotic wink or smile.
The facts are, that the interest, the morali-
ty, the variety and usefulnes of a paper,
depend, in no small degree, upon its selec-
ted matter, and few men are fully capable
of the position who would not themselves
be able to write many of the articles they
select matter, because he knows that one
mind cannot make so good a paper as five
or six

A BOYS advice to Old Men.

l cannot pick up newspaper without
" advice to Boys stares me in the face.
Old men write it spose. Nobody else
iscapable of giving advice to boys, of course
not They know all about us, they do,
cause they have been there. Advice is a
good thing to have, no doubt, and no
family should be without it, but fellow
don't want to be crammed with it all the
time to exclusion of all other diet.
Now. old men need advice occasionally,
but in looking through the newspapers |
don't see where they get. it. So L just
thought l would write little " advice to
Old Men" myself, if | am not presuming
too much, (as Aunt Chole says) and |
presume [ am.
In the first place you old chaps ought tc
get over telling how much smarter boys
we're when you were boys than boys are
now. You believe it yourself, of course
cause you've told it 50 many times, but
we boys can't see it. We have a notion
that boys are boys, pretty much, (excep'
some are girls) the world over and one
generation of them don't lay over another
generation to any alarming extent.
Only let you tell it, and you could out
run, out jump, our wrestle, and out any.

day, when you was boy. Grandfather
who has got the gout and half a dozen
different kinds of rheumatism, is always

Amateur Editors.

An amateur who was editing paper in
the absence of the regular editor says:
The last thing l have any distinct rec

the mayor of the town. He went by old
Sykes the editor, one evening without
nodding, and had no sooner entered the
office than heard:
$50 for muggs, give it to him hot ;
yank him all to pieces and leave his
shattered soul hanging to the steeple OF
the court house."
"But he--'' began, when Sykes
came close up to me, breathing lard, and
says he:
"Young man, go for Mugs. l hate
to part with you. but Smith offers to fill
your occupation for dollar less."'
So 1 sat down to do up Mugs. Sykes
was going away. and he left me to my
Judgment. I wrote an article that l
thought would please the old man for
positiyeness, and it went in under triple
heading. was just locking up the paste

A STIRLING OLD POEM.

Who shall judge man from his manners?
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumpled shirt and dirty jacket,
May beclothe the golden ore
Of the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There are streams of crystal nectar
Ever flowing out of stone;
There are purple beds and golden,
Hidden, crushed. and overthrown.
God, who counts by souls, not dresses,
Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones the highest
But as spebbleS in the sea.
Man upraised above his fellows,
Oft fOrgets his fellows then;
Observation-Disclosures remember
That your meanest kinds are men!
Men of labor, men of feeling,
Men of thought and men of fame,
Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennobling name.
There are foam-embroidered oceans,
There are little wood-clad rills;
There are feeble inch-high sapplings,
There are cedars on the hills.
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me,
For to hlm all vain distinctions
Are as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
OF nations wealth and fame,
Titled laZinessis pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same;
BY the sweat of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Vainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth and Justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right.
God, whose worldwide voice is singing
Boundless love to you and ME,
Links oppression with its titles
But as pebbles in the sea.

A Wall from Hungary.

The following Cable dispatch has been
received by the n. Y. Herald, from Pesth,
the Capital of Hungary, dated Aug. 2Sd /:
There is fearful misery in Southern
Hungary, formerly the most fertile grain
producing country in Europe. In the
district of Banat one-third of the country
is under water.
CAUSE OF THE CALAMITY.
The bad administration suffered the
dams which were built to prevent the over
flow of the river Temcs and its tributaries
to fall into ruins. These extensive tracts
were in former times waste marshes, and
at certain seasons of the year completely
under water. They were reclaimed and
made fruitful grain fields under the reign
of the Empress Maria Theresa.

The micro scope reveals them not less

much to know that has never been

without computation Of number. Let
us take q rapid glance at the proofs
of this statement. The polypus, it
is said, like the tabled hydra receives
new life from the knife which is lifted
to destroy it. The spider-fy lays an
egg as big as itself. There are four
thousand aud forty-one muscles in
the caterpillar. Hooke discovered
fourteen thousand mirrors in the eye

three hundred arteries. vessels, veins,
bones, etc., are necessary. The body
of q spider contains four little masses
pierced with multitude OF imper-
ceptible holes, each hole permitting
the passage Of single thread; all
the threads, to the amount of a
Thousand to each mass, join together
when they come out, and make the
single thread with which the spider
spins its web; so that what we call a
spider thread consists of more than
four thousand united. Lmuwhenock,
