No CEssATIoN.-An exchange very truly
says that but few realize the necessarily
constant motion of the mechanism of jour
nalism. Its working wheels-brain and
heart-are not allowed to lag for sickness,
or stop for calamity or sorrow. The judge
may adjourn his court; the school and
workshops may close their shutters; the
mourner may veil his features and turn
friend or stranger from the door; but the
journalist must forget before tomorrow the
sorrows of the day; must write gaily and
freshly, as newsmonger, Of the trihes of
the hour, not only in the "hours that shine"
with the joys of life, but as well in the gloom
of dependency, where sickness or sorrow
have placed burden upon the heart.
