To be an Editor.

Carlton, in his editorial poem, tells
ofan old farmer who made his way in.
to his sanctum with runt of boy,
who being good for nothing else, the
farmer thought would do for an ed.
itor. The poet tells the story: .t.
The editor sat in his sanctum, and
looked the old man in the eye.
Then glanced at the grinniny young
horeful and mournfully made this re-
ply:
Is your son a small unbound edition
of Moses and Solomon both?
Cahhe compass his spirit with meek
ness, aud strangle natural oath?
Can he compass his spirit with meek
ness, and straDgle natural oath?
Can he leave all his wrongs to the
future, and carry his heart in his
cheek?
Can he do an hours work in min
ute, and live on sixpence a weeki
Can he courteously talk to an equal
and browbeat az impudent dunce2
Can he keep things in apple-pie or
der and do half dozen at once?
Can he Press all the springs of
knowledge, with quick and reliable
touch?
And be sure that he knows how
much to know, and how to not know
too muchi
Does he know how to stir up his vir.
tue, and put check rein OH his pride?
Can he carry gentleman's manners
within rhinOeeros' hide?
Can he know all, and do all and be
all, with cheerfulness, courage aud vimY
fso, we can perhaps, be making an
editor outen O. him.
The farmer stood curiously listening,
while wonder his visage o'erspread.
And he said, Jim, guess we'll be
goin' he's probably out of his head. :"

The Size of the Union.

1t has been said that there is only
one man who has correct idea of the
size of the United States, he is The man
who drove yoke of oxen, in 1850-51
from Maine to California. However
this may be, the newspaper remark
that "few people realize the immensity
of our territorial area, F" is true. There
ale in the Great West eleven Terrific
ries, two or three ofwhich are twice or
three times as large as all New Eng
land; and it is a small Territory that
that is not at least ten times as large
as Massachusetts. Colorado is thir-
teen times as large as Massachusetts,
while Dakota and Arizona are half as
large again as Colorado. The eleven
Territories, as accurately as can at
present be ascertained, contained over
one billion and quarter Of acres a..

two hundred thousand square miles

A Murderer on oratory.

We have received from a good friend
in Virginia the following further illus.
tration of the extent tn which the in
sensibility of criminals is carried:
While still a very young man, on
account of his uncommon ability and
legal requirements, Mr.. Richard Cole
man was made judge of one of tn,
eastern circuits of Virginia in the
year l0--. Having hitherto led the
life of student and scholar he had
no extended reputation except among
his brethren, and as connected with
the profession, and had never been in
politics. Shortly after he went upon
the bench most cold-blonded and
cruel murder was 2erpetrated in his
district by q very notOriously v bad
man. The murderer was apprehended,
tried, and corvicted of murder in the
first degree. Judge c. proceeded to
pronounce sentence, the first he had
ever had to, which he had prepared
with great care, and, as he himself
said, the best of which he was capable.
and which he had afterward, in similar
sentences, been obliged to make the
basis of them all. Such was the SOL
emnity Of the occasion and the fervid
eloquence of the judge, that all who
listened TO the sentence passed were
moved to tears-all except the prison
er at the bar, who was observed to be
looking at the ceiling, and to pay no
attention whatever, appearing wholly
indifferent to what was going on. Al.
ter he had been remanded to jail, one
Of the junior members of the bar hav.
ing his curiosity excited, and Judge G,
also Wishing to know what effect his
eloquence had upon the criminal, went
into the cell where the prisoner was
and inquired of him how he felt when
Judge c. was passing sentence on him.
"What ?" said the criminal, "what do
you mean ?" IL mean when the Judge
was telling you that you we're to be
hung aud urging you to prepare for
the awful doom that awaited YOU"
"You mean when he was talking to
me?" "Ycs." "Ohl l never paid no
'tention to Dick Coleman; he amt no
public speaker nohow." Galaay.

An old manuscript has recently been
discovered la Western New York con.
tanning the following anecdote of the
famous Indian Chief, Red Jacket,
which is new: He was oil visit to a
house in Canandaiguia, and not arriv.
ing until after dinner, the girl was or
dered to make preparations for him,
She, through carelessness, or thinking
it would do well enough for an Indian,
placed on the table dish of meat
that had been visited by the flies. Red
Jacket advanced to the table, and see
ing the insects busily engaged in the
meat, took the dish and placed it on
the sill of the door, stepped back, took
his rifle, deliberately took aim and dis
charged the contents through the meat
The report of the gun alarmed all in
the house. They ran to inquire the
cause. Red Jacket replied that he
always killed his meat beiore he ate it,
The joke had its desired effect,

BUSINESS IN ALAsKA.-Although
the settlement of Alaska proceeds
slowly, yet We may infer that it is pro-
crossing steadily and surely, since we
are informed that OH the island of Un.
alaska there are already nine CONNER
cial and business houses. This island
is the headquarters for all the fishing
