Edit0rs' WORK.

The Cincinnati Gazette has a sensi-
BILE and timely article on the editorial
sGnctum and the visitors, from which
We make the following extract
Not all who visit editorial tooms are
intruders or bores, but a great many
are, and these are SO numerous that
all visitors are looked upon with some
degree of suspicion until their bust
ness becomes known. It is never
pleasant to be interrupted in editorial
work. It has tendency to make men
cross. There is pressure upon edl-
tors. They work nearly all the time
under o pressure. Often their ideas
do not flow freely, and when
they are not pleasing themselves
they are not in mood to
spend much time upon those who
interrupt them. We suppose it is safe
to say that three-fourths of those who
call to see the editor have no business
with that individual. Often they do
not know him personally, and in order
to find him they interrupt half dozen
men, who have important work to do,
and only q limited time to do it III.
Then if they receive short answers
they feel aggrieved, and talk about
impolite treatment. The editorial
rooms of newspaper establishment
are private, and are only to be visited,
except as matter of favor, by those
who have business with the editor.
The best way, if people have some
thing to say to an editor, is to write
that something down and send it to
him. This would save time On both
sides, and answer q better purpose,
nine times out of ten, than personal

The NGW Year.

A new year, with all Of its uunuIn-
bered hopes and its many unWrltten
fears, dawns upon US to-day. Its birth
is O gloomy one, and the dark clouds
which furnished the funeral pail for
, the death Of the Old Year hang over
the cradle of this newly born offspring
of Time. But the old saying OF "a
bad beginning sometimes makes
good ending" is All apt one and has
been illustrated in more than one
instance and why not in this
Metaphorically speaking the whole
world turns over new leaf to-day
that is to say, anew leaf in the "Book
of Time" Some viii open the New
Year with new resolves for the future,
born either Of past successes or of
past disappointments, and VIII man
fully grid up their loins for a renew
ed struggle with fate, with more con-
fidence in their own exertiOns than
in the workings Of blind destiny;
while others, profting nothing by the
experience OF the year which has Just
slipped from them, will sit with folded
hands or, at the best, move at list
less gait, waiting, like the immortal
Wilkins Micawber, for something to
turn up. Success is the reward of
earnest endeayer, and those who seek
it early and late, in season and
out of season, patiently, energet-
icalIy and with a determination n
to find it, will most likely be
nearest the top Of the latter when the
now young year shall have lived its
allotted time, and shall hand in its
record with the last day of next De-
cember. All cannot succeed in the
strivings after the good things OF this
world and the experience OF all past
years, as well IS of that just closed,
demonstrates, most faithfully, that
only those who work for success are

MOdern WOInan.

1t is sad CON mentary upon oul
| boasted civilization that the women OF
| our times have degenerated in health
! and physique until they are literally
race of invalids-pale, nervous, fee
BILE and back-achy, with only here and
there few noble exceptions in the
| persons of the robust, buxom ladies
characteristic of the sex in days gone
by. By very large experience, cov-
erlng period of years, and embrac-
Ing the treatment of many thousands
of cases of those ailments peculiar to
Women, DIR. Pierce, of the Worlds
Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, has per-
fected, by the combination of certain
vegetable extracts, q natural specific,
which he does not extol as q cure. all
but one which admirably fulflls a
slngleness of purpose, being most
positive and reliable remedy for those
weaknesses and complaints that affiict
the women of the present day. This
natural specific compound is called
Dr. Plerce's Favorite Prescription.
The following are among those dis
eases In which this wonderful medi-
cine has worked cures as if by magic
and with certainty never before at
tanned by any medicines: Weak back,
nervous and general debility, falling
and other displacements of internal
organs resulting from debility and
lack of strength in natural supports,
internal fever, congestion, infamma-
ton and liberation and very many
other chronic diseases incident to wo-
men, not proper to mention here, in
which, as well as in the cases that
have been enumerated, the Favorite
Prescription effects cures-the marvel
of the world. It will not do harm in
any state or condition Of the system,
and by adopting its use the invalid
lady may avoid that severest of or
deals-the consulting of family ply
sician. Favorite Prescription is sold
by dealers in medicines generally. t.
