Heady to Graduate.

Dan. Miller was left to edit the Remington Record last week, and this is the psalm lie sings about if: If we ever did have any aspirations towards being an editor, we are perfectly free to admit that we are without any desire in that direction now. We have been there just long enough to get sick of it. One taste is enough for us. We hope our disease will not require another dose. We have not eaten a bite nor slept a Wink for three days. Anxiety and perplexity have given us such a cold that we fear the doctor’s bill will never be paid. 999 times this week have we asked persons whom we met, if there was any news. 999 times have we looked up street for locals. 999 times have we leaned back in our chair, closed our beautiful eyes, and tried to think of something to write about. 999 times we have wished Kitt was back. We had to cancel an engagement with our girl. We even lied to hej: in order to keep the devil in copy? 999 times have wished that it wasn’t us, but ’tother fellow. 999 times we have “even wished that we were dead.”, We have sworn that this is positively our last appearance and no postponement on account of weather, unavoidable accidents excepted. We know that we shall heave a sigli of relief when the forms go safely to press, breathe easier, and mechanically lift a prayer of thanks that we have survived the ordeal. On the 19th of April, 1874, the wife of Thomas Moore presented her husband with triplets, two girls and a boy, who survived but a short time; April 26th, 1875, she gave birth to twins, a girl and a boy, says the Kentland Gazette.
