Editorial Gentiiiay.

A well known correspondent of
leading newspaper, in one IF his let
ters, relating maInl Y to the Journals and
journalists of Chicago, took occasion To
remark in general way to the follow.
ing purpose; | sometimes wonder what
it is in the profession that stiffens the
backbone aud soars the temper Why
is it that the politeness, patlence-ln
word, the good breeding common 10
other pursuits cannot exist in first
class jour nalist? This Involves u too
sweeping accusation, since there are
unquestlonably TO be found very many
first class journalists in the country
who are 10 the highest sense gentlemen
DOT indeed mere practicers of con-
ventional politeness aud counting house
afiability, but men considerate OF the
.sensibi.ities of others, aud at all times
cordial in giving proper attention to
those who may ask it of them. Still.
the complaint is not without a very
considera ble foundation especially with
respect to the journalists of :he larger
man, from the managing editor down
to the police court reporter, is only less
inflated aud self-lmportant than those
most pompous of mortals. railroad su
perinte,dents and bank cashiers and
as rule the underlings Guido their
superiors in affecting airs, and in their
arrogant efforts to impress the outside
world with an idea of their superiority
over ordinary humanity. We have net
many characters Of this stamp 10 our
relations with the press and have been
led to ask ourselves in the vein of the
correspondent quoted, what is there in
the profession of journalism that
prompts or warrants such spirit and
habits in its votaries To those who
are familiar with the internal life and
workings Gf the daily newspaper, with
its continual drudgery and the excess
slve strain upon the energies of those
engaged in its production, and who
know how paratively small is the
reward which such workers receive.
this preiension looks supremely rIdi
CutOOS. anu uIeU can nHfulV
fail to entertain a similar view. albeit
their judgment may be tempered by
the respect they feel towards respon- :
sible aud hon, rable calling. To our
notion there is no profession in which
gentlemanly, courteous conduct is more
demanded than in that of journalism
The editor should feel that to his per-
soma DEF orr ment, not less than 10 his
ability as a writer and thinker, must
he look for consideration and influence
The newspaper sanctum is no place for
boor. aud the man who caDuot be II
gentleman is our of his sphere in the
role of an editor. We know that il
might be argued in defence that the
journalist is SO frequently harrasspd
and annoyed by all sorts of people, with
all sorts of business with no interest to
anyone but themselves, that self>protecD
tion forces him to adopt repelling
manner and exercise it indiscriminately;
but the excuse il not sufficient.

MAN AND WFE.-Thomas Jefferson

How light, in fact, is the sacrifice of
any other wish when weighed against
the affections of one with whom we
are to pass our whole life. And though
opposition in single instance will
hardly Of itself produce alienation, yet
every one has their pouch into which
all these little dppositions arc put ;
while that is filling the alienation is
insensibly going on, and, when filled

he finds his affections wearied out by
constant stream OF little checks and
obstacles. Other sources of discon.
tent, very common indeed, are the
little cross purposes Of husband and
wife, in common conversation, q dis
position in either to crilicise and ques-
ton whatever the other says, q desire
always to demonstrate and make him
feel himself in the wrong. especially

Much better, therefore, if our compan.
ion views thing in light different
from what we do, TO leave him in
quiet possession of his view. What is
the use of rcctifying him if the thing

il pass for the present, aud wait a soft.

1t is wonderful how many persons are
rendered unhappy by inaltcntion to
these little rules of prudence"

Maine to California, Ten new houses
have been erected the past summer to
be used in packing the oysters, the
most of them are about forty By one

first 0oor is used for oysters, and the
upper rooms rented for dwellings,
which are readily taken at high rents.

see healthy, robust young ladies, on
Saturdays getting their checks cashcd
for ten and twelve dollars for the past
weeks work, and to see them the next
day YOU would hardly think they ever
saw inside an oyster house.
The season for our great bivalve
will be in full operation about the first
of October, and we will have about
twenty houses opening this season
giving employment to sig or seven
hundred openers, besides the number
engaged in catching who amount to
thousands.

FOUR HUNDRED YEARS AGO.


FOUR HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
Wild are thy plains, Columbia,
Thy plains OF evergreen;
And ne'er before upon thy shore
Were foreign footprints seen;
But thro' thy groves the savage rov'd,
Where mountain streamlcts flow,
When brave Columbus crossed the seas
-Four hundred years ago.
With heart Of steel that feared no III,
With followers true and brave,
lie bade farewell his native dell,
And tried the trcacherous wave;
He dared to roam the ocean foam,
Where stormy breaIes blow,
And to thy shore glad tidings bore,
-Four hundred years ago
Faith was the guide--laith true and tried,
That cheored him on his way,
And pointed out the pathless route
To where thine islets layi
Hone was the star that shone afar,
With bright and dazzling glow,
And sieercd his bark mid dangers dark,
-Four hundred years ago.
But changed the scene since then wecn
Thy savage chicftains iled
And where Of old the grim wolf strolcd,
Proud cities rear their head;
And fertile plains Of golden grain,
In rich luxurnnce grow,
Where all was drear as autumn scar,
-Four hundred years ago.
On many crag our starry flag
Waves DER the brave and free,
And our navies ride in all their pride
On every sounding sea-
And nations gaze in stark amaze,
For well the nations know
Our name and fame was not the same
-Four hundred years ago!
And far away, while the wild wind. play
Through the forests dimal night,
An iron stoed with lightning speed
Darts like ray Of light;
And steamers glide DER the sparkling tide,
Where weary and faint and slow,
The red man drew his light canoe,
Four hundred years ago!
Then, hail Columbia happy land,
Home of the poor oppressed,
May still to thee the exile fee,
Aud find place Of rest.
And May thy power increase each hour,
Thy sons in virtue grow,
And die to save what Colon gave
Four hundred years agol
