BEEcHEE ON New York EDITORS.
AT the Plymouth prayer meeting
on last Friday evening, Mr.. Beecher
made the following reference in his
prayer to the editors in New York:
"As long as God spares the lives OF
New York newspapers, the man who
doesn't preach right will have no ex-
cuse, because among those gentlemen
We find all exhibition Of pure spirl-
tualty, and we have criticisms
Laughter. New York editors are
very good instructors. Laughter.
Their whole business is to find out
what is bad. They are looking for
sores.
Mr.. Beecher intended that he
should be heard, and his voice rang
ont loud and clear. lie said that he
hadendeavored to'malie religion cheer
full, and people were anxious to attend
Plymouth Church, because there they
could meet che.rfully and pleasantly.
lie thought it was man S business tc
make virtue radiant and christianity
transccnlantlv beautiful.

NEWSPAPER BUSINESS.

Editing a newspaper is pleasant
thing-in some peoples estimation.
If it contains too much political mat
ter people wont have it; if it contains
too little they wont have it. If we
give q review Of some popular candi-
date for office they say we are verglng
our independence into party measures,
and they will withdraw their patron
age Frequently only a single subscrlp-
ton y that we must sink. Others
say the type is too large, it don't con-
tain enough reading matter. If we
have few jokes people say We are
nothing but rattle heads; if we omit
jokes they say we are old fossils; if
we publish original matter they blame
us for not publishing original selec-
tions folks say that we are too lazy
for giving them what they have read
in some other paper. five give man
a complimentary notice, we arc CEN
sursd for being partial; five give no no.
tees, all hands say we are hog. If
we do not pay our bills promptly,
folks say we are not to be trusted; II
we do pay our bills, then they say
we stole the money. Of this partlcu-
lar class OF grumblers and GROWERS we
have our opinion, which we hope is
fully understood long ere this, and
lust now needs no explanation. We
are Judges Of our business, and grant
the same right to every other man IN
his particular line Of trade. 10 those,
however, who cannot rest to see any
other than themselves prosper and
who, when they do see prosperity
shining out Of other doors than their
own, do all in their power to break
them down and try to receive the good
advancement themselves. to all such
we only say we hold ourselves under
no obligations whatever to any such
party or parties.
