An editor may write articles for years
right along, which meet with your most
decided approbation, but yoit will give
him no special praiso for it. If he hap.
peps to write a few lines which you do
not approve, you will get in a terrible
rage, and declare you will never forget
him for it. What a peaceful and pleas
ant life an editor has.

angels loved her with a better than
earthly love. The Father gathered her
among his lambs that ply by the still

"One sweet flower has drooped and faded,

For our frien4 is happy now,

Where the blessod angels bow.

But she thrns and waves her hand;
Pointing to the glories o'er us
In that happy spirit land."
Farowell ELIZA dear ! yotr seat in
the solemn santuary of God ii vacent,
and your chair at horpe sits in its accus
touned place. She was sick only one
week, never before having had so much
as a chill. Oh who could have witness
ed that "death hed scene" wit.haoflt the
deepest emotions of grief ? There were
mourning friends bending over her pil
low--her dying hand moistened with
the tears of a doting husband, while ten.
der parents, brothers and bisters caught
her last expiring breath. The silver
cord was loosened anil the golden bowl
broken amid the tears and sorrowings of
those who loved her dearly. It wns
enough to melt the hardest hearts to
tears, to gaze 11pon that pure being, cut
down in the very, Hloom of womanhood,
clad in her b'ridal robes, her snow White
hands gently folded across her breast
the very picture of celestial love. But
lot us cnrb our passionate, grief. Our
tears fall titick and fast, but oh I how
sweet to think that no stain of sin can
ever wring such a drop from those gen
to eyes. Better tha chill of that fai
brow-because in heaven the spirit bron
wears a crown of glory- than thal
her forehead should be stained witi
cares, crossed with toiling' thoughts.
"Weep not for the spirit now cro~ned
With the garland to martyrdom given
0 1 Weep-not for her ; site hat found
Her veward and her refuge in heaven."
God takes in mercy ; lie- gave its an
angel, and he has only called her home
a little before. She is now clothed in
the unearthly splendors of heaven-be.
holding her Pgiviour's face, and "singing
io his praise"
"The storm that sweeps the wintry sky
No more disturbs'her deep repope,
Than summer evening's latest sigh
That shut& the rose."
Dear EainI his gone I she softly lies
and sweetly sleeps, low in the ground,

Mr. Editor : The time being very neatly
athand wihon the peopleef Fairtield Diattilot
will be called upon to select suitable parsons
to represent them in the Convention which
is to ro-establieli civil order in the State,
it becomes us to take initial action in the
premises. This Conveilon is one of the
most important that has ever' been called,
and considering the vist and complicated in-.
terests which will be entrusted to it. and the
delicato nature of the trusts, it is quito evi
dent. that men of experience and personal
worth should be select ed. -
Permit me to nominate three gentlemnen
who contain in a .high degree all of tho
qualities necessary-who have been'tried in
public capacities and have never been found
wanting, who have logat and legislative
experience and are known to the people of
time District for integrity, personal., worth,
