I’m fifty-two to-day, Tom,
I*m fifty-two to-aay; * "»•
My limbs are growing weaker,
My hair is taming gray—
Yet, jt does not seem so long, Tom,
Since I was young as you;
And scarcely can I realize » r% ,
That I am fifty-two. *5/
I’ve witnessed many changes, ~
. I hare seen bright hopes decay,
And all the dreams of early life
Like shadows pass away.
I’ve drank of Sorrow’s bitter cup, ni
Now scarce know what to do;
Yet, still I hope for*better days,
Although I’m fifty-two.
di • , ■ -
I’ve been deceived and flattered, Tom, *
Defrauded of my rights ;
Still do I trust in Him above,
It can’t be always night.
A day of brightness yet will dawn,
The right I will pursue,
And trust in God’s good providence,
Although I’m fifty- two. 0
Good lessons I’ve learned in life,
Among them I have found,
Though, friends are very few indeed,
Acquaintances abound.
I’ll trust my own exertions, Tom,
An upright course pursue,
And keep a bright and trusting heart,
Though I am fifty-two.
Our life. -
.[ - > An infant on its mother’s breast,
A bouncing boy at play,
A youth by maiden fair caressed,
A stalwart man with care oppressed,
An old man silver gray,
Is ail of life we know;
A smile, a tear, . ,
A joy, a fear,
And all is o’er below.

■ The Editor. -
'iff • * >• ’ If ' tl■■ ■ ■
Itwofild require a master hand to sketch,
with fidelity; that class known as Editors.
Asa cotemporary remarks, he may be the
“responsible,” the “foreign,’’ the “literary,”
the “local,” the “commercial,’lr-in either
department he is the subject of laudation,
abuse, trials and triumphs. He must have
a ready pen, remarkable versatility of
knowledge; a correct judgment and con
siderable iiei-ve. If yod intrude upon him,
you will discover him writing, reading, or
scissoring. He will talk, but his pen does
not stop; he spatters the ink; he tumbles
over books; 'he hunts among newspapers;
he grows savage in a “leader,” or he is
learned in a “review.” Politicians want to
buy him; needy artists ask his favorable
notice; inventors have models to show
him; some want to thank him—others
desire to shoot hipgi. .He is addressed
Upon more subjects than it was ever in
tended a single mind should comprehend;
and; While his journal is called by some
“valuable,” etc., there are
those who bluntly pronounce it “scurril
ous” apd “poor.” Swimming upon floods
pf excitement, battling, chafing, arguing,
consenting, exacting, exalting friends and
crushing foes, thinking, working, is the
aum and substance of an Editor’s career.
At -home, he writes with his wife at his
elbow, and his child on his knee; in the
streets, he weaves out those ideas which,
in a few hours, will startle the men who
now jostle and crowd; in his sanctum, he
makes ready thunderbolts, moulded with a
Een, but more powerful than, any ever
urled from Jove. He delivers lectures;
he is a politician; he holds office; he is a
traveler - he gives a verdict upon manu
scripts which are more precious than the
apple of their eye to aspiring authors; he
helps on the opera ; he bolsters the drama;
he pleads for the poor; he snubs the rich;
he conciliates, he defies; he arouses na
tions, he (dethrones kings; he is the guar-,
cfiatt of liberty, and omnipotent.
Up in garrets in out-of-way places—some
times furnished like a parlor, sometimes
‘Worse than a pig pen—is his sanctum sane
torum, the “holy of hollies. Are you par
tial to frowns ? Ho you wish to hear a growl ?
Disregard the notioes of “Editor’s Room,”
“Private,” “No Admittance,” and enter, the
den ; you observe the contracting brow; you
do not know whether you are saluted or in
sulted; your tongue proposes to speak, and
your legs incline to run away; a head lifts
itself; a worn pen and inked fingers point
you a seat which it takes you an instant to
reach, but, ere you have done so the monster
has an idea so deeply in bis clutches, that he
has forgotten your existence. There you
sit ; you try to pyramids of news
papers, and be an editor, it is
necessary to be a savage. You see hooks
and maps; hut you would as soon meddle
with the cub of a bear as anything in which
the wild animal before youilhs ah interest.
Delegations of “Devils” from the printing
office, come for /‘copy,” and a great many
things going on which are strange to you.
Other gentry come in, who glance contempt
uously at yourself. They seat themselves,
and you bear nothing but scratch, scratch,
with gold pens, steel peas, and goose quills;
they pull at their whiskers; they clear their
throats J they look Up at the ceiling; they
help each other when their ideas run aground;
they write and re-write, they expunge and
amend; they become cheerful, if their pro
ductions please them, if they do
not.
Now, remember that this mental toil
must go on by day an<j , night, when the
head is dizzy with sickness, and heart wea
ry sadness, that it entails study, research,
and thought; that the themes are suggest
ed, and must be discussed within the hour;
and you will understand why you are not
wanted in an Editor’s sanctum. Present
ly, however, he will talk to you; he will cut
short your long speeches; he Will bring
you directly to your business; he will dis-“
patch it; and you will at once discover that
necessity, if not inclination, urges him to
'*eßime his pen. In summer, when the
flowers ar© so tempting, at midnight, with
the glare of artificial light pouring upon
him, there he is—a toiling .slave. He
writes of your pleasures—he adds to your
joys. Do you ever think of his exhausted
brain, his fading life, his premature death?
Literature was, perhaps, a passion of his
boyhood, and he has ptirsued the wicked
phantom from year to year, finding, in the
gratification of a refined taste, some small
reward for his painful infatuation.
