The ParsOn and the Editor.

The parson and the editor! VIVA,
q difference between the two lives
The hard worked minister writes one
or two original sermons each week. -
The editor reads about 1000 or 5000
columns of printed matter each week
writes about 8 and edits another 90

up, events as they transpire, and must
form judgments on the most immedi.
ate calls for them. He must fail in
nothing. The editor addresses his
congregation daily OF weekly as the
case may be. He knows them not,
neither do they him, except by his
writings. He has not the encourage,
ment profusely extended to him as
the preacher. He receives no at.
tention from his Pensioners, except
when his paper has given ohense,
when he lis treated to a stop my

turn round to the aggrieved parish

tice of his action. He does not know
him.
The parson is another person alto

personally. He becomes endeared to
them, and they to him. There is
much christian fellowship and broth.

and the Pensioners When the hot

his church, and goes off to Europe

Of doubt to cling TO.
The editor is a stranger to all this
sympathizing encouragement and
good fellowship. He has no trip to
Europe paid by his Pensioners, to
secure rest and quiet, although he
certainly needs them, and yet he is
as attached to his readers as the pas

congregation regularly, and his only
encouragement is the fact that his

UNDER THE SNOW.

All me, my garden lies under the snow,
The shrouding drifting snow
Each flower that ! reared has lowered its head
Its sweet bloom withered, its fragrance fed
Iao loved them living, and mourn them dead
Dead under this winter SNOW;
Lying beneath it, still and low,
Dead and loved them so
But the sun by and by will melt the snow, ~
The glittering shroud Of snow,
And the beautiful bud and the stately tree
VIII shed their fragrance again for me,
And my heart shall be glad when my eyes shall
zee
My treasures from under the snow
That my yearning love hath cherished 30,
Rise fair in the summer glow
Gods garden lies under the shrouding snow,
The beautiful, shcltering snow
And the buds that lie took from your hand
and mine,
Shall bid His sun on the garden shine,
And warm to life in its glow
The precious germs lying under the snow,
That lie took when He loved them 70 !

What sheridan Wanted 10 Hlaye
DevOlye upon Him.

History continually repeats itself. -
As Solomon says "the thing whic
has been is thing which shall be. -
This is as true of the acts of men n:
of tho processes of nature and the
events Of history, Thus the reign Of
Sheridan in Louisiana has its pre-
cedents in the governments of foreign
countries, if not of this. Shegidln's
method of dealing with the people Of
Louisiana-the course that he would
like to pursue-is set forth in Il des-
patch to the war departments, as
follows
II is possible that, if the President would
issue q proclamation declaring them bandtti,
no further action need be taken except that
which would devolve upon me.
p. II. SHERIDAN.
Lieutenant General United States Army.
There are many thing lying along
the paths of history which ar like
the "action which would deyolve up
on me" as darkly Swallowed forth in
this despatch. We have all read Of
the action which "devolyed upon tho
Turkish commander in the massacre
OF Scio--that sent thrill Of horror
through the world, until the Ottoman
fleet was shattered and sunk before
the guns Of the combined Christian
powers, 1t "devolved upon" Swur-
rolf to extinguish in blood the nation
ality of Poland. 1t "devolyed upon
Haynau to massacre men and whip
women in Hungary. But to find the
most accurate type Of the man that
Sheridan's dispatches expresses bis
desire to emulate, we must 90 back
in English history about two hundred
years. We then come to the REIGN Of
James the Second. Monmouth's ILL., .
starred attempt to assert his claims to
the crown had been defeated, and his
head brought the block. His de!ulel
sympathizers, beaten and humbIol, .
might easily have been converted into .
good and loyal citizens. But it de
VOWED upou" Judge Jefries to hold
the court known rs the assizes in that
district, in 1856. His circuit Of that
year was called ''the bloody as>izcs.'
1t was preceded by royal proclama-
ton declaring those people bandjtti.
How true the parallel runs Mock
trials were held, and men condemned ON
slight evidence, Or no evidence at all.
They were scowged, sold into slavery
or hanged. A thousand men went 10
the scaiold. The country was filed
with mourning and devastation. JET
tries was high favolite for the time 49,
But change came. The king was
overthrown and fled, and JcAiies was
cast into prison where he died 1lay
the whole historical parallel be carried
out!-Repubican JoMma7, Belfast, Me.

MlGRATIoNs OF PLANTS. The plants

live amidst strife and constant strug-
giles and to STAY each other merciIos5,

~. The larger trees Of the tropical
forests arc entwined and tlrottled by
trailers, and Rugged by lianas till they
die; smaller plants seem to wait for
the places filled by their stronger
nelghbors. There Is less rivalry in
European forests, only because few
sovereign species of timber trees, like
the Scotch and spruce frs Of Scandi-
navia, hold possession of the soil and
do not allow the approach of rivals.
The plants that feed the populations
OF the world have prevailed in the
fields of nature and of cultivation by
