J Inside Views of the Editorial Pru sion. We sometimes think that an editor has, above all other professional m- the best opportunities of studying is so mucn snam auu snou . world th: t come to him to be endorsed; so much vanity that desirGS to be fur ther inflated; so much rascality that seeks to be fhieldcd, or shifted upon some other man's shoulder; so much petty meanness that tries to pass cur rent for generosity; and so much wickedness and malignity that simulatt virtue and true nobility of character continually passing in review before him, that it were scarcely a wonder if he should in time grow cynical aud misanthropic. As an antidote to thi? , tem, ho sh,mM be a n practical common sonf. He shonW possess something of the judicial fual ity, being able to weigh testimi'iiv fully, sifting the false, and trivial from the true and pertinent, giving each its just value and finally rendering judg ment with fairness and impartiality, lie should be able at a glance to dis tinguish between the petty spite and malignity which seeks to employ tho editorial lah to scourge the innocent, .xm that solicitude for the public wel fare which prompts a man to expose crime because it is crime, and not from sinister or selfish motives. To be and do all of this he must have some nerve, for ho will make enemies The vicious will hate and annoy him, the shoddy aristocrats will snub him, and the dead beats and empirics will curse him con tinually. But these classes are in the minority in almost every community. They represent but little of the wealth, intelligence or manhood of a neighbor hood. Gaining their displeasure, he is morally certain to preserve his self-respect, and to secure the respect and es teem of all whose friendship ami ap-j proval are worth having. It may be argued that there are but few editors who have attained this ideal, but it is, nevertheless, true that the nearer they approximate to it the more independ ent, dignified and honorable the pro fession of journalism will become, and the more potent will be its influence for crnnf in tlio -vrrlfl Some Suggestions. Do not wrongfully accuse any o s. Complain not of Heaven, an- not men. Do not despise the good thh.rv Providence. Carelessnoss gives temptation t. a, honestv. Do not. deceive and oppress ho or phan and the widow. He who does not soar higii wiii suf fer less by a fall. The torment of envy is like a grain of sand in the eye. The error of a moment becomes the sorrow of a whole life. Envy not those who have, despiw not those whohave not. Human life is everywhere in a atr in which much is to be endured and lit tic to be eujoyed. People do not reflect that thry may socn dir. If 'hey did, tne:-r quarrels would quickly t rmmate. At prese-it let us remove what is bud; which n.uM always be dme before a good can spring up. After friendship and love, e-ii' nevolence and that compassion wh c unites the soul to the unfortunate. The innocence and purity of child hood bring bittfr heirt pan-,rs to the sin-hardened man a-.d worldly woman. Persevering mediocrity is much bet ter, more respectable, and of unspeaka ble more use than talented inconstancy. The raiboud track on the Weston xt. nsi n has been laid to Dry creek, within five miles of Wcstim. )
