TO BE an Editor.

Carlton, in his editorial poem, tells Of
an old farmer who made his way into
the sanctum with q runt of boy, who,
being good for nothing else, the farmer
thought would do for an editor. The
poet tells the story as follows: $;
The editor sat in his sanctum and
looked the old man in the eye. Then
glanced at the grinning young hopeful,
and mournfully made this reply: f,
sis your son small unbound edition
of Moses and Solomon both? Can he
compass his spirit with meekness, and
sttange natural oath2 Can he leave,
all his wrongs to the future, and carry
his heart in his cheek? Can he do an
hours work in minute, and live ON .
sixpence week? Can he courteously
talk to an equal, and browbeat an imp0-
dent Ounce! Can he keep things inppple-
pie order, and do half a-dozen at,oncel
Can he press all the springs of knowl-
edge with quick and reliable touch p
And be sure that he knows, how much
to know, and knows how to not know
too much !? Does he know how to stir
up his virtue, and put check rein on
his pride? Can he carry gen'leman's
manners within rlinoceros' hide? Can
he know all, do all, be all, with cheerful-
ness, courage and vim? If so, we pei
! haps can make an editor outen o. him {,
The farmer stood curiously lstenlhgi
while wonder his visage o'erspread and
he said, Jim, i guess We'll be going i
! he's probably out of his head. ....i,

What TO tle When You arc In
Trouble.

Don't try to quench your sorrow ri
rum or narcotics. If you begin this,
you must keep right on with it till ii
leads you TO ruin; or, if you pause, you
must add physical pain and the con.
sciousness Of degradation to the sorrow
you seek to escape. Of all wretched
men, his condition is the most pitiful,
who, having sought to drown his grief
in drink, owakes from his debauch with
shattered nerves, aclling head, and de-
pressed mind, to face the same trouble
again. That which was at first painful
to contemplate, will, after drink, seem
unbearable. Ten to one the fatal drink
will be again and again sought, till it's
victim sinks hopeless, pitiful and totak
wreck.
Work is your true remedy. If mis-
fortune hits you hard, hit ycu some-
thing else hardi pitch into something
with will There's nothing like good,
solid, absorbing, exhausting work, to
cure trouble. If you have met with
losses, you don't want to lie awake
thinking about them. You want sweet,
calm, sound sleep, and to eat your din;
ner with appetite. But you can't unless
you work. If yon don't feel like work,
and 60 loafng all day to tell Tom,
Dick and Harry the story of your woes,
you'll lie awake and keep you wife
awake by tossings, spoil her temper and
your own breakfast the next morning,
and begin tomorrow feeling ten times
worse than you do to-day, :.
There are some troubles that only
time heals, and perhaps some that can.
never be healed at all, but all can be
helped by the panacea, work. Try it,
you who are thus afflicted. - :

BABYE.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

Babys luv with all mi hart !: they are
mi sweetmeats, they warm ''up mi blood
like gin sling; they krawl into me anC
nestle by the side Of mi soul, like a kit
ten under cook stove. GaE 5-
/ hav raised babys myself, and knc
what am talking about.
l hav got grand children, ,and they are
wuss than the first krop to riot among
the feelings
If could have mi way, I would
change all the human beings now on The
face of the earth back into babys at
once, and keep them there, and make
this footstool one grand nursery; but
what l should do for wet nurses, dom,
kno, nor don't care.
would like tew hav Is babies now or

in the world for babys neither Mi lay
is long enuff, but not the widest kind o.

am good deal ov man, but 1 kon
sist ov length principally, and when ]
make a lap ov miself,it IL not mattrass
but more like couple ov rails with :
jint in them.
can hold more habys in mi lap a
once, than any man in Amerika, without
spilling one, but it hurts the bahys,
never saw baby in mi life that
didn't want tew kiss; am wuss than an
old maid in this respekt.
l hav seen ba5ys that l have refused
tew kiss until they had been wasn't; hui
the baby want to blame for this, neither
waz |.
There are foxes in this world who say
that they don't love babys, but yu kar
depend upon it, when they waz babys
sumboddy lovd them.
Babys love me, too. ! kan take them
out ov their muther's arms just az eezy
az l kan an unfedeed bird out ov hiz
nest. They luv me bekaus I luv them,
And here let me say, for the comfort
and consolation Of Eall muthers, thai
whenever they see me on the kars or or
the steembote, out ov job, tina needn't
hesitate minnit tew drop clean, fat
baby into my lap; will ho.d it,and kiss
it, and be thankful besides.
Perhaps thare liz people who don't en'
w me all this, but it iz one of the shars
cut, well, defined JOYS of mi life, mi love
for babys and their love for me.
Perhaps thare iz people who will call
it weakness Il don't care what they cal
it, bring on the babys. Uncle Josh hai
always kind word and kiss for tht
babys.
l love babys for the truth thare IL in

Why is laziness like money! Because

THE ORIGIN OF SCANDAL,


Said Mrs, A.
To Mrs j.,
In quite confidential way,
Sit seems to me,
That Mrs B.
Takes too much something-in her tea
And Mrs. ].
To Mrs. K,
That night was overheard to say
She grieved to touch
Upon it much,
But "Mrs. B. took-such and such"'
Then Mrs. X.
Went straightway
And told a friend, the self-same day,
"'Twas sad to think"--
Here came wink
THAT Mrs. B. was fond of drink"
The friends disgust
Was such she must
Inform lady (which she nussed,"
That Mrs. B.
At half-past three 80,
Was ''that far gone, she couldn't see!'
This lady We
Have mentioned, she
Gave needle-work to Mrs. B.
And at such news
Could scarcely choose
But further needlework refuse.
Then Mrs. B.
As you'll agree,
Quite properly-she said, said she,
That she would track
The scandal back
To those who made her look so black.
Through Mrs. X.
And Mrs. j.
She got at last to Mrs. A,
And asked her why,
With cruel lie,
She painted her so deep dye?

I said that you

The Colorado Po'a'O Beetle Will il

Prof Riley thus emphatically state,
the facts on this important part of th,
subject
Let it not be understood that this in.
sect, 10 its Onward march, ever entirel,
quits any district where it has obtained
a foothold. This idea Of its itineran,
character seems very generally to prevail,
and great many people labor under the
Impression that soon after its advent, this
dreaded foe to the potato will of its own
accord take its leave as suddenly as it
came-that, like the dog, it has its day.
This idea is rather encouraged, though
believe uninteutionallY, by DR.. lie Baron
In his first Illinois chronological Report,
where he gives it as his opinion that the
beetle will in time disappear, especially
IN those localities where it is most abund-
ant, even though VIC leave the work Who'll
y to Nature. Nothing could, however,
be further from the truth, or less in ac-
cordance with experience. 1t may, and
generally does, prove more injurious dur
ing the first two or three years Of its
advent than subsequently,; because time
is required for its natural enemies to
multiply sufficiently to keep it in check
But wherever it once obtains a footing,
there in may be expected to remain for
all time; yascillating, it is true, from

The Importance OF Pure Water fol

4 case of scientific investigation Of
Cornell University, by Prof Low, il full
Of interest to farmers, and especially
dairymen. The milk furnished by th,
milkman attracted the attention Of thu
Professor, by the peculiar appearance Of
the cream, which had ropy look. When
subjected to powerful microscope, there
appeared large number Of living organ
isns Of different stages of growth. The
investigation was pushed by the Professor
and the cause ascertaiued. The milk
man admitted that he allowed his cow
to take their drink from stagnant pool
instead o? giving them good, pure water
1t was shown that the foul organisms
were taken up by the COWS when drinking
such water, passed into the circulation
enter the blood, and even faint the secre
tons, making the milk a mass Of filth
This fact has heretofore been brought t
TO the attention Of duirymen, aud cannot
be too carefully attended 10 by thos,
having the care Of COWS for dairy auc
domestic purposes.
