To BE AN EDIToR.-Carton, in his
editorial poem, tells OF an old farmer who
made his way into the sanctum with a
runt of II boy, who being good for moth
ing else, the farmer thought would do for
an editor. The poet tells the story as
follows: We "run it in solid,' as being
as solid set of questions as perhaps
were ever asked country youth.
The editor sat in the sanctum and
looked the old man in the eye. Then
glanced at the grinning young hopeful
and mournfully made his reply:
as your son a small unbound edition
of Moses and Solomon both? Can ht
compass his spirit with meekness, anc
strange natural oath ? Can he leav,
all his wrongs to the future, and carry
his heart in his cheek Can he do al
hours work in minute, and live on /
sxpence week? Can he courteousl J
talk to an equal, and browbeat an impu
len, Ounce? Can ho keep things il
,pple-pie order, and do half.a.dozer
It once? Can he press all the springs o
knowledge with quick and reliable touch
And be sure that he knows how much t.
know. and knows how to not know to-
much ? Does he know how to stir up hi
.rtue, and put check rein on his pride
IAN he carry gentlcman's manners will
rhinoceros' hide? Can he know all
nd do all, and be all, with cheerfulness
.'ourago aud vim? If so, We perhap
AN mako an editor outen O. him."
'"he farmer stood curiously listening
While wonder his visuge o'erspread an
,e said: "Jim, | guess we'll be goin'
e's probably out Of bis head"

"In February" said the Jew; "ior it
..There are two natural brothers, said
the fifth, land still only one of them is
my uncle" o ,
said the Jew, "and your father is not your
uncle"
A fish now leaped out of the water, and
the sixth asked:
"What fish have their eyes. nearest to-
gether ?"
"The smallest said the jew.
The seventh asked:
GLOW can man ride from Balse to
Berne in the shade, in summer time, when
the sun shines P''
"When he comes TO place where there
is no shade he must dismount and 60 on
toot,n was the answer.
The eighth asked:
"IVhen man rides in the winter time
from Balse TO Berne, and has forgotten
his gloves, how must he manage so that
his hands won't freeze Pr
''He must make fists of them," replied
the Jew.
The ninth was the last, and he asked:
SLOW can five persons divide five eggs
so that each man will receive one, and
still one remain in the dish? pr
1.-The last man must take the dish with
the egg" said the Jew, ''and he can let it
lie in the dish as long as he pleases."
But it now came his turn, and he deter
mined to make good sweep. After
many preliminary complaints, he asked
with an air of mischievous friendliness
''How can man fry two trout in three
pans, so that the trout may lie in each
pan ?"
No one could answer this, and one after
the other gave him twelve kreuzer
piece; but when the ninth desired that he
should solve the riddle, he rocked to and
fro, shrugged his shoulders, and rolled his
eyes.
II am poor jew" he said.
what has that to do with it, cried the
rest. "Give us the answer
..You must not take it amiss," said the
Jew, "for l am poor jew"
At last, after much persuasion and
many promises that they would do him no
harm, he thrust his hand into his pocket,
took out one Of the twelve kreuZer pieces
that he had won, laid it on the table and
said: a&-@ A&
Il do not know the answer any more
than you. Here are my twelve kreuzers. +"
When the others heard this they opened
their eyes and said that this was scarcely
according to the agreement. But as they
could not control their laughter, and were
wealthy and good natured men, and as
the jew helped them to while away the
time from St. Welt to Schalmpt they let it
pass; and the jew took him from the YES
sel-let good arithmetician reckon up
for US how much The Jew carried with
him. He had nine twelve kreuzer pieces
by his answers, nine with his own riddle,
one in his pocket to start with, one he
paid back and eighteen kreuzers he gave
to the captain.
