Editing a newspaper is a pleasant business—if you can stand it. If it contains many advertisements the subscribers complain that they take too much space If there is a scarcity of advertising it is unpopular and the people won’t have it. If we attend church regularly they say we go for effect, If we stay away from churoh they say we are monstrously heathenish. If we accept an invitation to a wedding they say we were only invited to “write it If we go to the opera house they say we go on free tickets. If we are seen upon the streets too often they say we neglect our business. If we avoid going on the st-sets they say we don’t hustle around after the news. If we reject a long-winded communication its author becomes furiously enraged and discontinues his paper. If we publish lengthy communications our readers say wo lack discretion and put n anything “to fill up ’’ If we negleet to decorate our office windows on Washington’s birthday, they say we lack enterprise, and that there isn’t a drop of patriotic blood flowing in our degraded carcasses. It we swell out in a new suit of clothes and celebiate groundhog day, they say we got our clothes in payment for advertising, ana that we are by far too foppish. If, in our frailty, we sometimes perpetrate a joke, or make a stagger at a poor little pun, they say we are exceedingly light and won’t do. If we omit jokes, they say wo are poor, miserable fossils. If we are single, they say we are too helpless to get married. If we are not single, they say it is a pity for our wives. If we publish a man who has brought disgrace upon his family, the friends of the family never forgive us. If we, out of goodness of heart, decline to say anything on the subject, Jthe man’s enemies are disappointed, and we are branded as white-livered cowards; We are able to rtand these raps and many more, and are always toady to receive visitors whether accompanied by a dog or not. Of course we do not claim there is any work to running a newspaper; everyone knows it is a snap.—Weekly Journalist.
