IFrom the New York Evening Post
The Origin Of the '.EditOrfal''
in America.

The press is no longer what it was
when Mr.. Greeley began his career
in this city, an unfriended, unknown,
awkward and unpromising printers
lad. With the single exception of
the Evening Post, not one of the so
called journals of that day was in the
habit of commenting upon the topics
of general interest. Advertisements,
marine and police reports, the scanty
news brought by the mails, or by
foreign ships, and communications
from Constant Reader" or from
"Brutus" and "Agricola, constituted
their contents. 1t was the fortune,
we believe, of our venerable senior
editor to introduce the practice of
editorial comment on the affairs of
the day, and the example was speedi-
ly followed by others, Colonel Stone,
Major Noah, Charles King, and more
lately by Mr.. Greeley, who became
one of the most earnest, able and
conspicuous.

sShe is dead !" they said to him. "Come away;
Kiss Ler and leave her-tby love is clay!"
They smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair;
On her forehead Of stone they laid it fair;
Over her eyes that gazed too much,
They drew the lids with gentle touch
| With gentle touch they closed up well
The sweet, thin lips that had secrets to tell.
About her brown and beautiful face
| They tied her veil and marriage lace,
Which were the whitest, no eye could choose!
Aud over her bosom they crossed her hands
'Come away" they said, 'God understands ~
And there was silence and nothing there
But silence, and scents of eglantere,
And jasmine, and roses, and rosemary,
And they said, "As lady should lie, lies She"
And they held their breath as they left the room
With shudder to glance at its stiffness and gloom.
But he who loved her too well to dread
The sweet, the stately and beautiful dead,
He lit his lamp and took his key
And turned it. Alone again-he and she.
He and she but she would not speak,
Though he KISSED in the old place, the quiet cheek
He and she; yet she would not smile,
Though he called her the name she loved ere-whie.
He and she; still she did NOT move
To any passionate whisper of love.

dumb to the ear and still to the sense,
But to heart and soul distinct, intense?
''See now; / will listen with soul, not ear
What was the secret of dying, dear?
''Was it the infinite wonder of all
That you ever could let lifes flower fall
''or was il greater marvel TO feel
The perfect calm DER the agony steal?
''Was the miracle greater to find how deep
Beyond all dreams sank downward that sleep?
''Did life roll back its record, dear?
And show, as they say it does, past things clear?
sand was it the innermost heart of the bliss
To find out so what q wisdom love is z?

81 listen as deep as the horrible hell,
As high as the heaven, and you do not tell
"There must be pleasure in dying, sweet,
To make you so placid from head 10 feet.
81 would tell you, darling, if I were dead,
And 'twere your hot tears on my brow shed.
81 would say, though the angel of Death had laid
His sword on my lips to keep it unsaid.
"You should not ask vainly, with streaming eyes,
Which of all DEATHS was the chiefest surprise,
''The very strsngest and suddenest thing
Of all the surprises dying must bring.'
All, foolish world Oh most kind dead
Though he told me, who will believe it was said
Who will believe what he heard her say,
With tine sweet, soft voice, in the dear old way:
"The utmost wonder is this: hear,
And see you, and love you, and kiss you, dear;
"And am your angel, who was your bride,
And know that though dead have never died"

Read an Hour a Day.

There was a lad who, at fourteen,
was apprenticed to soapdealer. One
of his resolutions was to read an
hour a day, or at least at that rate,
and he had an old silver watch left
him by his uncle, by which he timed
his reading. He stayed seven years
with his master, and it is said when
he was twenty-one he knew as much
as the young squire did. Now let us
see how much time he had at one
hour day. Itwould be 1855 hours,
which, at the rate of ten hours day,
would be equal to three hundred and
ten days, equal to forty-five weeks;
nearly years reading. That time
spent treasuring up useful knowledge
would pile up very large store. See
what you can do. Begin now. In
after years you will look back upon
the task as the most pleasant and
profitable you ever performed.

Treasurer Spinner has written
letter to a member of Congress on
the pay question, and says; Il doubt
whether the covering in of this mon

out legal authority or warrant Of law,
will place it beyond the reach of par
ties to whom it legally belongs. I
think it could be reclaimed any time
hereafter, and even on the mere state

A SPIRITUAL SONG
FROM THE GERMAN OF NovALIs.
Translated by George Mac Donald.

FROM THE GERMAN OF NovALIs.
Translated by George Macdonald.
When in hours OF fear and falling,
All but quite our heart despairs;
When, with sickness driven to wailing,
Anguish at our bosom tears;
When our loved ones we remember;
All their grief and trouble rue; -..
And the clouds of our December
Let no beam of hope shine through;
Then, oh then: God bends Him DER US;
Then His love grows very clear;
Long we heavenward then-before US
Lo, His angel standing nearI
Fresh the cup of life He reaches;
Whispers courage, comfort new;
Nor in vain our prayer beseeches
Rest for the beloved too.

choice between that and Republican

The Mansfield Herald tells the sad
tale of General Brinkerhoff, that on
the day of the Richland County Re
publican Convention, he offered the
Republican candidate for Auditor the
support of the 'third party" provided
he would pledge himself to appoint
as his deputy the Liberal candidate
for the same place. This is elegant
business for a man who pledged him
self against bargaining and trading
in politics.

went in and began work. No
matter how often he found his

OF a book canvasser who talk
ed with dazzling volubility TO
a pretty little woman sewing
at a window for over halt an
hour, endeavoring to sell her
a book. Finally handing her
the book for a subscription,
she wrote: "Ime defe and

hurt the story at all that ii isn't
true, but then it is as we'll to
point out to its originator that
The errors in spelling of deaf

TIE explanations are coming,
RapeB Of the Vinton Record,
"rises to expIain" as follows;
"We are not afraid of our mo

any money which ever passed
between Capt. Wilson and our

erything he got OF US in the the
regular course of business just
as other people have, but has

pect money for editorial sup

The Record is certainly
prompt, and it may be explicit

No DIVISION of the SCHOOL Fund

No Division of the school Fund
NJ. J. z. Carberry, Democrat
ic mem ber of the Constitution
al Convention from Hamilton
County, has introduced a reso-
luton that the Constitution be
so amended as not to forbid a
division of the public school
funds. Mr.. Carberry may as
well save himself all trouble on
that account. The people of
Ohio are not fools. On the con.
lrary they are, by a very large
majority, men OF too much
sense to adopt a Constitution
which does not forbid in en-
phatic terms, any division OF
the public school funds. Mr..
Oarberry, although a Roman
lst, has been for a number OF
years a member OF the Cincin-
natl Board of Education. His
Archbishop tells him that the
public school is the gate ol
h-ll, and warns him to keep
his children therefrom. His
object in making such prop
OsiliOn to the convention is to
give the Romanisls a chance
at the public treasury. Hands
off is the sentiment of the pea
pie. Protestants and Catholics
may keep their parochiaI
schools so loag as they can do
so with their own money; with
them the people have no con-
Germ. The public schools must

The following is from the
Wheeling IVA Register:
Some scoundrel played a
trick on one of the employees
of Robinson's "Great Moral
Combination Show" when 1t
was at Wheeling the other day.
Just about dark as one of the
groOms attached to RObinson's
circus was taking the very val
liable horse rode by Robert
Slickney, in his fearless bare
back act, from the boat, he
was approached by man who
pretended TO be deputy Sher-
if, having an execution on The
animal. The horse was sur
rendered and the pretended
Sheriff mounted and rode off,
The fraud was soon discovered
and search made Tor the dar-
ng thief, but without success.
He had TOO great a start 10 be
easily found. 1t was one OF
The boldest, cleverest aud best
executed tricks ever played
There was no process against
the Circus company, by any
authority, in the city or county,
and all the Sheriff's officers
were in the Court house at the
time the horse was stolen.
