who have no faith In their kind. They are
dangerous to deal with. A thorough knowl-
edge Of their own bad hearts is at the bottom
of their distrust of others. Taking it for
granted that everybody with whom they come
in business contact is bent on overreac ching
them, their object is to spike the enemy's ar
tillery by being the first to overreach. Can
dor is lost upon them. Thsy consider it
refined hypocrisy. Favors they look upon as
cunningly devised lures, intended TO lead
them into trap and, while receiving them
willingly, chuckIe inwardly at the thought
that they are old birds, and can not be
caught by any such devices.

COLLEGE BOY AT HONE.

Willie Boynton is attending college in
Ithica. n. Y. A few weeks since he was
at home in st. JOhnsbury, on short
vacation, to enjoy the winter sports of
the locality. Taking couple of school
girls into a sleigh one evening, Willie
started west, to show the dear creatures
what fancy rig he had. and how hand
somely ne could draw the reins. In the
vicinity of Edmond Chickering's he at
tempted to give the giNs specimen Of
the lthica style of turning around. We
don know how the girls enjoyed it, but
when Willie picked himself up and saw
the horse and sleigh on lightning speed
for ST. Johusbury. and four female gai-
ters sticking up out of the snow drift.
he concluded he had overdone the thing.
Without loss of time he commenced Dig
ging down beside the CATERS and soon
brought forth two lovely girls. who did
not care for any further exhibition of
Ithica horsemanship just then. but sug-
gested two chairs, by warm fire in
somebody's house. Engaging rent at
Mr. Chickering's, Willie deposited his
Dulcianas in the two chairs aforesaid,
and went out prospecting. In his prog
ress towards home we are told that he
made speed which has few parallels on
record. Arriving at Corrysville he found
his horse hitched to the fence. Borrow
ing hOrseblanket at neighbors he
wrapped himself up, mounted the horse
and moved towards St. JOhnsbury liv-
cry stable. His reflections during thls
solemn ride have been kept q profound
secret; but it was surmised that he con-
cluded to get those girls home as unos-
tentatiously as possible. and not to pro-
pose to either of them, until he had re-
turned to lthica, and remained long
enough for his beard to start, and for the
girls to forget that brilliant illustration
of horsemanship, which resulted in
standing them on their heads in a snow
drift three miles from home. Proc uring
another team he went for the girls and
met them plodding through the saow
towards home. He was modest aud ~
spectful in his department, and didn't
attempt to show off particle, but got
the girls home as soon as he could, and
very soon after took his departure for
Ithica.-Ly'adon Union.

JOURNALISM. The conductor of
public journal who faithfully performs
his duty generally leads toilsome and
thankless life. With firm purpose to
do equal and exact justice he arouses
strong antagonisms and makes lifetime
enemies of many who, if he were en-
gagged in almost any other persuit would
be among his best friends. If he COM
ments with just severity upon the acts
of those who have been chosen 10 ad-
minister public affairs. he makes more
enemies than friends by SO doing If
he ignores or paliates the real or appar-
ent derelictions of duty on the part Of
the servants of the people. his motives
are impeached and his friends alienated.
If he tells the whole truth and nothing
but the truth regarding subjects in
which the public was interested, there
are oftentime those who think that this
or that detail ought to have been omitted,
and the list of his downright enemies or
lukewarm friends is again increased.
If he utters an honest opinion on a sub
ject of public concern and afterwards
changes his views and give expression to
the Thoughts and conclusions which fur
ther light aud more mature refexion
have convinced him are correct. he is
accused Of inconsistency and an intention
to accomplish purpose detrimental to
somebody's interests. We have limited
at only a few of the obstacles and diff
cultics with which the editor Of the
period comes in contact. But there is a
law of compensation that sets all things
even, and the faithful journalist receives
his share Of It's benefits in the end.
