An Editors Valedictory.

The editor Of a New York State journal on
retiring from the profession not long since,
embraced the opportunity to give u,terancc to
some sentiments which are applicable the
world over among newspaper readers.

pitality, aGd, we hope, contributing somewhat
70 tie comfort of the same, it only refhains 10
shake hands all around, take an affectionatc
and heart-breaking farewell, aud come no
more, probably, forever.
Goodbye IL has been spoken over the dead
lyiug in heir co0ins. 1t has been spoken
when an ocean was to roll in between parting
hearts; but it never is spoken with such pa
thos aud JUNCTION as when country editor
with the memory Of bis hard Srubblngs and
bis scant comforts pressing upon him, hands
his valedictory over 10 the compositor, puts
the stub end Of his woru-out pencil into his
breeches pocket and shuii'.s his rheumatic
Ices down stairs to 90 no more bacl: forever.
1--WE part upon the square" We proclaim
general amnesty all around. We retire for
giving our enemies. and shall haunt those who
obstinaiely refuse io lie forgiven.
Farmers, goodbye. You are the doTsal
column Of the country editors subscription

help. May the day soon como when no NOR
gage like a great morass in the centre Of a
pleasant meadow, shall obstruct your pros
periiy. Have you ever given us wood Of
scrimp pattern and highly perforated coriage2
The act is forgiven. Have you ever given Us
butter Of most unhallowel llvor? We hope,
after little TO forgive even this.
There is particular class OF patrons whom
every departing country editor remembers with
special gratitude. 1t is the substantial, thor
ouehly steadfast patron-tbe men who are
never blown out Of favor with him by the
light gusts Of III wind. They are the men
who cash their bills with thorough professional
