Nigbt-shades with a sigh, As the violet closes Its meek dewy eye, So.tbe eyes of our ov'd one. losed-geatly in death-K As the flowers yield perfume, he yielded her breath. As folds the sweet snow-bird, It% soft wings in rest, a her fair -bands were folded 'erher inottoniebs breast, 11'the lily-is sioa-white, As pale Is the snow, ao the ct ee of our Nettie, Grew pale long ago. As tades 2he light rosa, When night's ebon wings, - 'Arefolded in silence, a ''er eaith's pulseess things, As fades the bright flowers When autumn draws nigh, So our cherished one faded, And laid down to die. As the night winds sweegsadly O'er each 'afiess bougb. So the Death angel's plnions Swept sad o'er her *row As the sunny floivers itse< A. soof as they bloom,. So our Nettie has perished, And rests in the tomb. - As passes life's dreamings, So fair and so bright, As the golden-hu'd moments Pass quickly from sight, As we.know all that's earthly Mus t pass and decay, So we knew that our darling Was-passing away. As a crushed heart weeps over The wrecked hope of years, As the bright face of Heaven Is spotted-with tears, That are ejled stars by mortals, So o'er her we wept, That the grave's wings so dusky, O'er our Nettie bad swept.

When Mr. Phillips had i explained to him that many hands i were needed to make a great paper, the man said. -Weli, I s'pose that's so; but. tliere's the lairme'ncr's Clu, .articics-the'n's od llorace , all over !' A journ tial is an epic t with b,ut One hero in the mintd of r the man who does not know with c I What voracity a great newspaper I or magazine eats up human lives i and swallows the reputations and ; talents of able men in all depart t nents of writing and manage- t 7 ment. All the labor, all the skill i of literary judgment and hustness conduct, are carrie'd up to the a credit of..the editorial head by - some people, anid -they will even a persist in remnittingr subscription - money to an editor. It is hard -fur those at a distance to imagine .the highly organized co.operation of.many diverse abilities that go e to make up a supreme periodical; 5 and people are surprised, when a e great editor dies, that the genius :. of journalistic conduct does not at > once fai sake his periodical. Thbey e find the same alertness, the same discretion, the very same flavor .as before ; whben, according to their f' notions, all of this should have .been buried with Cesar. J once t met a lady who, being a great ad. .mirer of the Plymouth pastor, was utterly disgusted to find that certain articles in the Christian Union, which she had been enjoy ing, were 'not written by Beecher at ail, but by a man named gM-,' of whom she had never before heard. The characteristic quality of'a periodical does not in here in one man. It is the re sultant of many diverse geniuses -wn effect produced, like that seen in a rich window, by the Ssunlight passing through various e media, so arranged as to form a complete whole. The chief editor gtets all the credit of this as a sort of offset for having to take all ,the blame ; but neither credit nor Sblame belongs wholly to him. Is The great mass of gifted and a effective workers'in periodical lit eerature necessarily go down into tbe waters of forgetfulness. They > work with the heartiest enibn. esiasm, though the admtiring public I- will never know them, but will t-clap its hands in app)lause of y somebody else. Only when a great d editor like Dr. Holland dies, and lt the magazine or paper goes rstraight ahead in the path care -. rully marked out by him and his associates, do they realize that othere were other men of noble 1onsible leader. Even then, the nount and variety of individual fts that are used, absorbed, do wred, to make a magazine great, ver enters into the imagination the public which enjoys the past, but doesn't wish. to be oubled with complex ideas of a mode of preparation. It is, deed, one chief aim of a master urnaist to make his periodical great that its quality will not ,pend on any one's life or con nued service.-Edward Eggles n, in The Century.

'I want to see the boss liar who runs this libelous sheet,' roared a muscular-looking young man of the base-ball species walking into the office of the Post last Monday morning. -The managing editor is out,' said the office boy. hastily-getting behind the counter. 'Blast the editor!' growled'the stranger, rapping on the counter with -the big end of his four foot club.- 'I want to see the bead pirate-the proprietor-the fellow that your paper says wants to be held responsible for those infernal lies about the carnival people in last Saturday's Post.' Through the open door of the inner office came a subdued rust ling sound, as though a terrier were chasing a rat into a hole, followed by a silence that might have been cut witba knife. 'He's out, too,' replied the boy. 'Gol dern the luck !' said the muscular party, much annoyed. 'I came in a purpose to batter him with his club.' 'He will be sorry to have missed you,' said the office boy, soothing. ly. 'Isn't your paper left regu larly ?' 'Paper be everlastingly blanked to bianknation.' thundered the visitor. 'My sister is the Queen of Sheba ' 'The Queen of what-ba ?' 'Of Sheba, idiot! Don't you understand?' Once more, for the beer !'.said the office boy, leaning forward.. 'Why, the Queen of Shba-up at the carnival, I mean.. She was brought home from the matinee day before. yesterday. in a hack and fits. This is what did it, and the aggrieved brother hauled out.a marked copy of our superior tauily journal (only tifteen cents a week by carrier), and pointed to the following paragraph We would rather find :a thou sand-dollar bill, lost by a poor r widow washerwoman, than saiy anything unkindly personal in this article ; but, all the same, we I mean to overhaul sacred history the first chance.we get and ascer tain whether there ..is definite Scriptural authority for supposing that the Queen of Sheba hac; ac cess to unlimited quantities of Limburger cheese.

'It's an infernal, miserable lie. My sister never e eats chesse, and, besides, she chews cardaimon seeds and things Never ate . Lim burger in her life. 'I do,' said the office boy con solingly. 'So I see,' said the outraged party, pushing the boy's IIome around with the end of his club. 'The minute I read that cowardly Sslander, I just went out to tbc~ 0wood-pile and picked out the knottiest stick'I could find, and J1 0 whittled it down at this er.d for *a square grip.

DOCTORING PEOPLE NOW-A-DAYS. j4 -'They don't doctor folks now, as my a physician learnt me,' said Mrs. Par' I tiugton, sagely tapping her snuff-box a by the aide of a friend lying indispos= A ed ; her gesture was very expressive, e and the profundity of a whole Med: o Fac. beamed from -her spectacles. She a took a pinch of Farewell's subtle Mac- a caboy in her fingers,: and shut the n box, and laid it away in her capacious a pocket, then,- with her :closed' fore- y finger and thumb raised, went on t with her remark : 'They don't sub- a scribe for fulks now as they used to. e My doctor used to tell me-and he never lost any of his patience but i once, and that was an old man of t ninety-seven,, whose days were short- t ened because he . hadn't strength to a swallow-he . used to .:tell..me-and : I've been with him -thotisands of < times with sick folks-he used to tell t me, first, said he, give them apecsc, to " clear the stomach;: then give 'em ] purgatory 'to clear the bowels; then put -a blister on the neck of the head. aches ; and have 'em blooded if there i is a tenderness of blood to the head; and put hot poultices on the foot after soaking 'em in' hot, water.

She inhaled the dust. witi great unction, and the patient, who lay making squares and dianonds out of the roses on the room paper thanked Heaven. and took courage. A good editor. -a competent newspaper conductor, is like. a general or a pdert-born not made. On . tbe, London daily papers all the; historians, novelists,poets and essayists have been employed, and nearly all have failed. We iight say all, for afer. display ofbrilliancy, brief but grand, they died out literally. Their resoureb were exhausted. '1 can,' said .a late"editor of the Times to Moore, 'find any number of' men of genius to write for us, but very seldom one of common sense.' The 'than derers' on -the Times, therefore, have~; so far as vye know, been me~n of common sense. Nearly all successful editors have been m.m of this description. Campbell, BuI wer, and Disraeli failed ; Barnes, Sterling, and Phillips succeeded. A good editor seldom writes for his paper. He reads, judges, se. lects, dictates, alters and com-. bines ; and to do all this well he has but little time for composition. To wr'ite for a paper is one tbing, to edit a paper is another. One of the most fatal temptations to the weak *is a slight deviation from the truth, for the sake of apparent good. It. is one of the worst errors to suppose that there is any other path of safety except that of duty. Adversity is the. trial of principle. Without it a man hardly knows whether he is honest or not. All nature is a vast symbolism; every material fact has sheathed with in it a spiritual truth. Anger ventilated often hurries to. ward forgiveness; anger concealed often hardens into revenge. It seems that the men who arn't wauted here are men who ain't want-1 ed in the other world. As we must render an account of every idle word, so riiust we likewise of our idle silence. God is great, and therefore he will be sought : he is good therefore he will be found.
