he fiourlshes everywhere. We are
more acquainted with the genus
Americanus, but we have no doubt he
grows IN equal, if not greater luxuri-
ance in other lands and chimes. The
principle on which he lives is the same
as that of his Mediterranean name
sake to absorb all he can and never
to give out anything unless he is
squeezed.
1t is not the calls Of regular parish
toner's that wear out our pastors in
large places; it is the demands of the
church sponge that weary him and
wear him out. Ii, however, he should
refuse to accede to the demands OF
the eponge and refuse to be absorbed,
that very sponge would be the first to
raise an cutlery about the venality Of
the clergy.
We know not how to eradicate this
unpleasant specie, but it may be worth
while to try the remedy which his pro-
totype suggests. Whenever possible
give him righteous squeeze. Get q
dollar for missions out of his unwill-
ing pocket; make it a shameful thing
for him to steal his preaching. Gre.

meaness. By heroic treatment even q

Ten Days an Editor.

ttrom New York Special.
James Gordon Bennett went back
to Europe as suddenly and surpris-
lngly as he came. His six months Of
hard work that he promised to de-
vote himself to lasted just ten days
But in that time herevolutionized the
Herald. II will give 800 to any edi-
tor or reporter who will invent a new
way of writing an article" said he.
He promised lesser rewards for slight
departures from conventionality.
Better yet, he paid them. Don't
write a sentence that you ever heard
OF before" he said. Don't express
an idea that is not original. Don't
do anything in the paper like any
thing you ever saw in it before" He
fell to and wrote editorials himself,
and they certainly were breezy and
original. The whole paper became
bright aud odd. The millionaire
could be seen at his desk at 4 O'Clock
IN the morning day after day. But he
was unused to the strain, and soon
gave it up and took the French steam
er for Paris, where he keeps q house
and fat.

While the laughing suubeams brightly glance
Over the oceans blue eNpanse.
Break into song, We birds Of June;
Leap light waves, in the cIouoless noon;

Tremuious aspens down By the river,
Tell him watt wait
Tell him, sunbeams, that glance and culver
over the sails Of the passing ships
That his name ts-for aye on my lips
Thet wait. 0 Love, come soon.
River, winding away to the sea,
Bear him this rose on thy breast;
Tell him softly il cometh from me
From me whom his soul loves best.
Tell him wait in the pale gray mornings
Tell him wait when the sun burns low:
Bear him my message, o low-yoiced river,
q bird that singeth and winds that blow
Tell him that ever as day slopes redly
Low on the mBrge Of the Burmuriug sea,
IN the rose and gold Of the fair June sunset,

Come, dear heart, through the summer splendor,
Come in the light Of this gladdest June;
Come, for 1 wait alone by the river.
Love, my love come soon.
