rHE RIVAL EDTroas.

An American friend Of mifis; d distinguish.
ed author, who has always something to tell
me, described the respective positions Of two
rival up.coautfy American newspaper editors
before the time Of the electric telegraphs
The editor Of the inferior paper was superior
to his rival in one respect, imasmteh as, bcing
possessed of q longer purse; He could com
mand at all times horse-express communica-
tion with New York and Washington there
fore Ills paPer's deficiency III editorial ability
was more than compensated Dr. recouped BY
carly intelligence.
A cute Yankee Of thu district one day enter
ed the private room Of the less affiuent editor,
and warmly condolcd with him on the vexa-
ton caused BY his opponents advantage but
no made an important observation which COM
mandsd ifimedfate attention.
:" ] guess can beat him and sarve you.''
"HowP" asked the anxious editor.
:" I've got lot Of tirst-cass carrier pigeons
which l can sell to you as cheap or cheaper,
as any bird % the sort in the States, and can
command lot more Of tkenr, IL need be, mp
to two hundred"
The editor juniped at the offer, aud the
pigeotf expresses proved success, SO much so
as almost to drive the rival editor wild. The
Yankee waited until the pear was ripe, when
he paid the express editor visit. 81 guess,
Mr.. Editor, that feel very much for you, for
that Mr.. ---- is driving wonderful trade
with his pigeon-expresses but can beat
Lin and sarve you, and that pretty sharp"
" In what manncr?" "Why, by hawks.
which can sell to you as cheap. or chespey,
as any birds O. the sort were ever sold in tffe
Northern States"
A bargain was at once struck, and a sharp
lookout was kept whenever pigeon was seen
to be let loose from the other newspaper
Office. The hawks did their duty well by
generally capturing their quarry.
The Yankee now paid the disappointed
editor visit, as soon as the success Of tile
hawks over the pigeons was an established
fact. ~ guess, Mr.. Editor. feel very much
for you, for I'm informed that that fellows
hawks are killing all your pigeons aud can
make all that sqdafo for yod, and pretty
sharp" What do you mean?" "Why,
Mr.. Editor, I've got six eagles which can
sell you at q bargain, and il they don't settle
matters with the hawks, and that slick, I'm
not the man ! take myself to be-" You
are scoundrel, and il you don't take your
self off, and that pretty quick, I know soms-

Mr. Spurgeon is as sound on the "manner-
ism " of certain preachers as he is on theol.
ogy he might also have continued his criti-
cisms on the verbose and almost meaningless
"matter" of some minister, who !" talk by
the yard" and who, like certain Methodist
preacher few years ago, told his official
brethren, who were discussing the propriety
of reducing his salary to the quality of his
sermons, that I" If they gave him poor pay
he should give them poor preach. Mr.. Spur
geon's remarks were upon open-ar preach
ing He said " He had known preachers
whose manners were simply execrable. Some
men closed their fists, and from their action
it would appear as if they were going to give
some one a black eye. Some men could not
preach unless they chopped and sawed the air;
and he had seen men preach with their hands
behind them lifting up their coat-tails. Some
preachers initiated others so that some who
heard them would say, That's like Spurge-
on and of others they would say, That's
like Moody He recommended them by nc
means to initiate anybody, but to be them
selves. Preaching-monkey would not do,
they must be preaching-men. He would moi
have any minister Of Christ be so grotesque
that he took away the attention of his hearers
from his subject and drew it upon himself
Then, they should regulate their voice. Il
was grand thing to have sonorous voice,
but they should not bawl themselves to death
He had known open air preachers who seem
| ed to think that the power of the everlasting
Gospel had something to do with the power
Of their lungs, and they bawl so loudly tha
they had to stop every now and then to puml
air into their lungs

POETRY.
EYERr pr.

Oh. tridyine tasks, so often done;
Yet ever To DO done anew
oh. cares which come with every sun,
Morn after mora, the long. years through
We shrink beneath their paitry sway
The irksome calls of every day.
The restless sense Of wasted power,
The tiresome round Of little thiftgs,
Are hard to bear, as hour by hctff
Its tedious iteration, bringsl
Who shall evade or who delay.
The small demands of every day;
w. ri,., to M Get heavy blow
Snr souls Z sudusu bravery Ills
But we endure not alw.vs %
The drop by drop of little illss
We still deplore and stii. obey
The hard behcsts of every oay.
The heart which boldly faces death
Upon the battle field. and dares
Canuons and bayonets faints beneath
The needle points of frets and cares;
The stoutest spirits they dismay--
The tiny stings OF every day.
And even saints of holy fame;
Whose souls by faith had overcome,
Who wore amid the cruel fame
The moulten crown of martyrdom,
Bore not without complaint away
The petty pains Of every day.
All, more than martyrs aureoie,
And more than hero 3 heart of fire,
We need the humble strength OF soul
Which daily tolls and flls require;
Sweet patience, grant us II you may,
An added grace for every day.

OLD FASHIONED BLEEDING. 1T makes on,
Memories that Louis the Thirteenth was bled

2i5 times in single year. Unnecessary
bleeding had something to do with Raphael's
early death. Although during the last thirty
or forty years, the practice of bleeding has
been reduced In France to narrow limits, its
abuse still persists in the Spanish and Italian
peninsulas, and strangers ought to be warmed
of it. The Italian doctors Guido the Sangra-

ploying vene section for almost every COM
plant. You may meet with Italians who
have been bled $50 times in the course Of
their lives. The doctors justification is that
the exceptional climate of Turin renders this
remedial measure indispensable. One of their
most notable victims must be fresh in every
ones memory. On the 10Th Of May, 1861,
after stormy debate In Parliament Count
Cavour went home depressed and anxious.
In the night he awoke by vomiting and intes-
final palms, the consequences of indigestion,
which frequently occurs under similar circum-
stances. He was BLEED Immediately again at

The Paris medical journal did not conceal
their convictions that under such treatment
the illustrious statesman's case was hopeless.
On the list and I'd Of June he was bled again;
again on the 9TH On the morning Of the 7th
he died. In the November following one of
his doctors foil martyr to the same absurd
system, having undergone, in the illness
which carried him of, seven bleedings besides
numerous leechings.
