St. Lukc's Church on this occasion was
appropri te!, dressed by the ladies Of the
congregation. The simple white flowers
and green houghs la>tiy woven into H,reaths,
garandS, fr<;ocns, crosses and Inscriptions,
made mute and lovely choral Of love, which
reflected tie sentiment ofaE immorta! prin-
ciplc. The anthems, psalms, lessons, epls-

TEE DIFFgREScE.-The conduct ofa pub
lie journalist is difficult and thankless one,
and the editor who escapes fault-hnding,
scolding and abuse is lucky individual. lie
is >coIdcd for saying too much and Scolded
for saying TOO little. If he takes cognizance
of this evil, or tn It occurrence, he is told oy
some that he is entirely too smart, and that
he had better mind his own business; if be
omits mention Of il, he is set down as
wishy-washy fellow, not up with The times.
and afraid to express an opinion, or cry
down an evil. The reason is plain-and the
trouble lies just here; as long as thing
touches NOT on their own rights, privileges or
doings, ,she mass are delighted to see i; so in
TO the paper, bat just tread on their own
corns and the Case is reversed, they become
furious and threaten, and damn paper and
editor. This is unjus, and foolish. We strive
to make our paper Interesting, note eFerv>
thing passing which comes under observa>
ton, and try to avoid us far as possible per-
sonalitcs or anything calculated 10 wound.
We don's wish to hurt anvb,d.' > feelings, do
all 70 avui,l it, in short feel 4 friendly inter-
est in cTcry one and only try 10 do our duty
as public Journalist in meeting the want
of the people generally, and ifin doing so We
tread on sorae ones corn it is done without
any desire 10 creatc pain, and our advice is
that our friends either ;rim their corns close
~ or cut them off altogether, if not, to grin
and bear the pains. We simply do our duty,
and Il is the height Of nonsense 70 abuse, or
scold, or threaten without reason, rhyme or
cause. W: have charge Of the helm, and
will keep Off the breakers if possible, but ii
in spite Of all We are driven BY force of Wind
and weather on the rock bound coast, well
stand 10 the ship while plank remains.
