Beauty of Editing a Paper.
Editing a (taper is a pleasant bosi-
ness—not too plenwiut, but just pleua-
ant enough.
If it contains m < h pditlcal (Butter,
people won’t u»ve it.
jf the type is large, it don’t contain
(Qiicfi ruudiug matter,
I( the type U email, it hurts the
«r> s to read it.
If we publish real stories, folks say
they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them, we have no enter¬
prise.
If wo have a few jokes, folks say we
are nothing but end men.
If wo omit the jjkes, folkssiy we ore
dull.
If we pubiirli original matter, they
damn us for not giving selections.
If we give selections, people say we
sre lazy for not writing more and giv¬
ing them wbat they have not read in
some other paper.
If we give a complimentary notice,
we are censured for beiug partial.
If we don't, all bands say we are
ghastly.
If we insert an article which pl> ases
the ladies, tbe men become jealous, and
vice versa.
It we remain in onr office attending
to our own business, folks say we are
too proud to tniug’.e with our own p o-

If we pay up promptly, they say we

upon one of the joints of the branches,
when they will shortly take roat; then
sever such branches from the parent
