About Editors, Etc.
Indianapolis Sun.

Every editor loves to have his friends
and particularly his readers to call on
him. They belong to the same family,
as 1t were. But when you call to see
the editor, don't stay too long Editors
are generally very busy in business
hours. If you have a suggestion to make
or news to communicate, state it in the
fewest words possible.
Don't offer any excuses nor indulge in
long preface to what you have to say.
Burt it right out; tell the editor you
wish him we'll, and bid him good day.
Editors dote on such men rs that. They
love to receive calls from them. Don't
argue with them. Don't try to do it..
He's got no time for argument while at
his work
When you write to an editor for pub
LEGATION, make it short; boil it down.
Pitch right into the middle of your sub
Ject, and be sure to stop writing when
you are through. Editors always like
something fresh and original in the way
of communications, and they are espe-
cially fond of news. But the editor
must always be the Judge of what is
worthy of publication. OF course every
writer thinks his own production the
best, just as every mother thinks her
baby the prettiest that was ever born.
But the editor may be so stupid as to
have different opinion. If SO, it can't
be helped. Don't try to argue him out
of his notion. If he is too stupid to
appreciate good thing, you can't ex-
pect to remedy his dullness You may
think you are a great deal smarter than
the editor, and that may be true; but
the editor may be responsible for the
publication and you are not. There is
no class OF men so anxious to please a
majority of the people as editors are.
There is no class SO covetous of the good
opinion of others. 1t is well to remem-
Der that fact.

eLEAN1NGs FROM TIE MUSE



Ihsd sworn to be g bachelor: she had vowed to be
For we quite agreed in doubling whether nstri-
mony paid.
Beside we had our higher loves; fair science ruled
And she said her young affections we're all bound
up in art.
So we LAUGHED at those wise men who say that
friendship cannot live
iTwixt man and woman, unless each has something
more to give.
We would be friends, and friends as true as e'er
were man and man
I'd be second David, and she Miss Jonathan.
We scorned oil sentimental trash-vows, kisses,
High friendship such as ours. might well such
childish arts despise.
We liked each other-that was all, quite all there
So wenst shook hands upon 1t in business sort Of
way. Ia.
We shared secrets and our Joys, together hoped
and feared
with q common purpose sought the goal that young
ambition reared;
We dreamed together Of the dsys-the dream
bright days to Gomez
We were strictly confidential, and we called each
other "ehum."
And many day we wandered together DER the
hills,
seeking bugs and butterflies, and she the ruined
mills
And rustic bridges, and the like, that picture
10 run in with their waterfalls and groves and
And many a quiet evening, in hours OF full re-
lease,
We foated down the river, or losfed beneath the
trees,
And talked In long gradatons, from the poets to
the weather,
While the western skies and my cigar burned slowly
out together.
Yet, through 1t all no whispered word no tel-tsle
glance sigh
Told aught of warmer feeling than friendly SYM
pathy;
We talked Of love as coldly as we talked of ne
bula,
And thought more of being than We did Of
being three.

How TO HAVE A LOVING WIFE.-A
correspondent sends the following to

IF yen Wogld have loving wife be as
gentle ia your words after as before
marriage; treat her quite as tenderly
when matron as miss don't make
her the maid of all work and ask he1
why she looks less tidy and neat than
when "you first knew her." don't buy
cheap, tough beef, and scold her because
it does not come on the table "portel
house," don't grumble about squalling
babies if you can't keep up nursery
and remember that "bsby" may take
after papa in his disposition; don't
smoke and chew tobocco, and thus shat
ter your nerves, and spoil your temper
and make ygur breath nuisance, and
then complain that your wife de-
clines to kiss you; go home joyous
and cheerful to your wife and tell
her the good news you have heard, and
not silently put on your hat and go out
to the "club" or lodge" and let her af-
forwards learn that you spent the even
ing at the opera or at fancy ball with
Mrs. Dash. Love your wife, be patient
remember that you are not perfect, but
try to be; let whiskey, tobacco, and
vulgar ooilipany alone; spend your
evenings with your wife, and live de-
cent, Christian life, and your wife will
be loving and true-if you did not mar
ry thoughtless beauty without sense
or worth; if you did, who is to blame il
you suffer the consequences

A DIFFICULT QUESTION ANSWERED.
Can any one tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from one of Adams rids,
a hired girl wasn't made at the same
time to wait upon her?
We can, easy. Because Adam never
came whining to Eve with ragged
stocking to be darned, shirt button to
be sewed on, or glove to be mended,
right away, quick now! Because he
never read the newspapers until the sun
got down behind the palm trees, and
then stretched himself, yawning out,
"Ain't soup most ready, my dear?" Not
be, He made the fire, and hung over
the teakettle himself, we'll venture, and
pulled the radishes and peeled the bana-
mas; and did erything else that he
ought to! he MIXED the cows and fed
the chickens, and looked after the pigs
himself. He never brought home half
dozen friends to dinner when Eve
hadn't any fresh pomegranates and the
mango season was over! He never
stayed out until eleven o'clock to a
''ward meeting" hurrahing for the out
and out candidate, and then scolded be.
cause poor, dear Eve was sitting up and
crying inside of the gates. To be sure
he ACTED rather cowardly about apple
gathering tine, but then that don't de-
preciate his general helpfulness about
the garden. He never played billiards
and drove fast horses, nor choked Eve
with cigar smoke. He never loafed
around corner groceries while solitary
Eve vas rocking little Gains cradle at
home. Ia short, he didn't think she
was specially created for the purpose of
waiting on him, and wasn't under the
impression that it disgraced man to
tighten his wife's care little. g.
That's the reason that Eve did not
need hired girl, and we wish it was
the reason that none of her fair:descen-
dants did.-Life frustrated.

A TOUGH CUsToMER.-Gen. Charles

a consumptive by the surgeons. Their

firmed, one lung having persisted COM
pletely, and the Lisutenant was advised
to go home and lead the quiet life of q
planter, avoiding all excitement, where
by he might prolong his life for eighteen
months, or perhaps even for two years.
He went home, but did not die; indeed,
after serving in the Legislature and sew
ersl public offices, he was alive to head
a Confederate brigade at Shiloh. AS he
took a parting glass with Col. w. II.
McArdle, a veteran Mississippi Jour-
nalist, he said:
u think you will have a good chance
of publishing that obituary which you
promised me thirteen years ago. have
outlived all the doctors, hut am not so
confident that shall escape the Yankee
balls and shells which I shall be com
PEELED to face to-day"
After the first days battle Gen. Clarke
was borne to the rear wrapped in a
blanket saturated with blood
"You can publish that obituary now,
he has met with a soldiers DEATH" was
the remark of one of those who bore him,
and the obituary was shortly afterwards
published in the New Orleans papers.
Shortly after the battle of Baton
Rouge, however, Gen. Clarke was seen
again at New Orleans. He had been
shot through the body at Shiloh and
LETT on the field, to be taken prisoner, to
recover and to be exchanged, and at Ba.
ton Rouge mimic ball broke his thigh,
near the socket.
DIR. Stone was the surgeon who now
brought around the man he had con-
demned to speedy death IN 184S, and
though his leg was shortened several
inches, Gen. Clarke lived to be Cover
nor of Mississippi and to die fifteen years
later, quietly in his bed, having buried
several generations of doctors, gone
through two wars with only one lung,
been twice left for dead on the field Of
battle, and seen his obituary published.
