IJ" 01 At the window of a neat cottage, in a pretty but simple country village, stood girl with a bright, hopeful face if not a beautiful one. She had a fine head crowned with a wealth of rich brown hair, but it . was put simply back, in a heavy loop be hind, guiltless of bangs, frizzes or puffs, and her dress though perfectly neat and ladylike made not the slightest preten sioil to style. There was hot a particle of city "style" anywhere abont her she . looked like what she was, a modest, pure, country blossom, a Wildwood rose, that had notj yet lost its freshness arid fragfanccj She was intelligent that her noble brow would have told you at once, and she was Well educated too, Mving been ai eager student with the best of teach ers, but she lacked all sign of the pres tige and self possession of a society la dy, and, indeed, any knowledge of "so ciety ways' atalh v But what cared Jeanctte Allyti .for so ciety now? All the "society" she want ed was coming to her in a few mo ments. IIer loyer, Stephen Foster, who had gone to the city to seek a fortune, was coming to Visit her, and she stood by the window, wreathed with climbing roses which Stephen's hand had helped her plant, with a bright light in her eye, and a crimson rose-hita on the smooth cheek nearest the window which vied With the queenly bowers without. Stephen had been very successful in the city, she knew. He bad won honor and fame in his profession of & lawyer, and he was fast winning wealth. In the late fall he Was to take her to his home in the city which Would by that time be ready. And Jcanette was willing to go, for would not Stephen be with her? She had fears she knew that his sphere was now far above her, and it miirht be that her simple gifts would 1 fail to satisfy him. But he hu Written, be had said he was coming to iuinu am pledge, and thon Jeanette was hap- py. . . . aJ ttiA botir was almost arrived IwheUhewouldbe with her. Kay, it Ihftd cornel For she heard bis footetei outside at that moment, and the next he was in her presence. He was looking splendidly, and wal elegantly dressed. He took her in hi arms and kissed her Warmly, yet Jea nette fancied she missed something from the embrace that bad been wont to be there. She could hot have told what it was but she felt it; They talked long and earnestly. Stephen told her of bis strug gles for a high position, and of bis tri umphs, and his hopes and intentions for the brilliant, future before hint; And With every wofd Jeannelt shefcrt eaak lower.- These Were height wh.ch . im.j :v.orhr nature or she was never uu",,?"" j W itn eager, weeps but once. But when she had sobbed out her heart-break she was stronger. "I have decided what to do," she said, I will give him his freedom. If he does not accept it," ah, that one last hope that she clung to ; "Then I may be happy. But if he does, oh, I would rather he wouldj a thousand times, than let him wed me when he did not love me." She gathered Stephen's letters all to gether, placed his ring with them, wrote a letter, telling him what she had dis covered, and setting "him entirely free, entirely from all bonds to hen She told him she had not Ceased to love him--never wouid, but feared that he had lost his love for her, and that she woUld be a clog upon his climbing feet if he joined his lot to hers, aud that if he desired his freedom, it was his. She sent the package to the hotel where he had stopped, hoping against hope that he would not accept her sac rifice, but would hasten, joyfully, to convince her of her mistake. But, alas, no Stephen came ! He sent a cold note, saying that perhaps, she was right, and if she tooj desired to break the engagement, it vv'Ould be bet ter broken than kept. And he went back to the city by the yery next train. Poor Jeannette took up her burden of life again, only saying, "it might have been!" and bore it bravely.- Her father died, and she was left alone in the rose wreathed cottage. She might have-married. More than one suitor sought for a favor, but a single experi ence was enorigh for her. She calmly said s"no" and kept on her way. She had means enough for the mo lest life shewed, and if she was ever lonely, v if the nights dragged and the days grew weary in the little cottage, where she lived alone witbxme maid, nobody ever j more for days before he knew her, or even where he was. . It was herself wbo told hiim He fcebly asked one evening fbr a drink oi water, and when she gave it be recognized her. 'Jeannette!" he said. "Is it you? Where am I?" "It is I, Stephen. You are in my house," she answered. "But how came I here?" r "The stage was overturned at the door, you were hurt and brought here," she said quietly, ' : "Have I been a trouble to you long?" he Baid, with a pained flush on his pale face. "You have been here a week, but never a tf oUble, Stephen," she answered quietly. '. " And not ungrateful, Jeannette. Are you where is your husband ?" "I never had any. I am still Jean nette Allyn," she answered, still quietly- v' r: "My wife is dead," said Stephen after a long pause. : "So I heard, before you came,"' said Jeannette. "Not only that," said he, "but I have lost all else. Fame, wealth, health. You have had a broken up wreck cast upon your threshold for mercy my old friend. . Mercy he shall not have, unless he stops talking at once, as the doctor has ordered," said Jeannette, trying to speak gayly. "But I cannot stop Until you let me thank you." he said. "Wait until you are stronger, then, Stephen, no matter what you are, or what you hive lost, you are the friend of my youth, and you shall share all I have untill you are well enough to meet the world on your own accounts once heard her complain; And in the city Stephen Foster pros pered. He married six months after he left Jeanette, a wealthy bride, With no soul or heart, a vain, frivolous girl, Whose silly life must often have called to bis mind in contrast, the pure, true noble woman he had so cruelly dessrted. , But she only lived two years, andthed he had her wealth. Jeannette in her quiet cottage heard of him often. She knew that he was growing great as well as rich. Men spoke his name almost in whispers. He went here and there and was feted and praised on every hand. If he ever thought of Jeannette she never knew it much less hod any token of his remembrance; Don't say a word, but just rest a .4. . ,. ttow When you are wen we win tam it all ovef. Stephen turned his faco away, and lay quietly as she bid him do. But there were warm tears trickling down upon nis pillow where che could not see. This was the woman he had thought beneath hinii and deserted fbr a sense less doll of fashion. Well, retribution had overtaken him, and it was sufficiently bitter: And well deserved say you ? Perhaps it was. No doubt it was. But the heart of ft loving" woman can forgive and forget much . Stephen was now alone and Jdnely. Jeannette' bad always been bdth.

Newspapei editors are personages with whom, in the mind Of thfj public at large. there has always associated a certain degree-of mystery. There i3 no class of men whose work passes so directly hud so constantly before the public eye j yet there are few with regard to whose real position and functions more vague, con fused or erroneous notions are enter tained, even" on the part of Jefsons oth erwise well informed. This is no doubt largely due to the anonymity which is preserved in the newspaper press of this Country. Readers come to' identify the opinions of a particular organ more with the sh'cet of printed paper, and with its istinctivo name and features, than with thes individual or individuals by whom it is directed, and of whomy it may be, L they know nothing, ' V7 ' The power and influence)- with their attendant Xresponsibility, exercised by the editors of our great newspapers, are chdrmous. Thomas Carlyle once de scribed journalists as the true kings' and priests.of the nation. The office so de scribed is a most attractive one for young man in search of a career ; espe cially if they be fairly educated and be lieve they are imbued with the 'fire of genius. The commonest mistake of such aspirants to the editorial chair is, that they greatly under-estimate the at tainments requisite for such a position. They speak of "taking to journalism" as if it were a very simple matter, to be ac complished without much personal trou ble or inconvenience, and never ' think ing of the long years of patient work and Varied experience which will have to be undergone before they can reach the point they have in view. Jouranl ism is now, . and is becoming fnore so every year, a profession for which "a special training" is required; There have been instances in which men of brilliant parts and profound erudition have proved signal failures in the edito rial chair ; while meu of inferior educa tion and meaner intellectual poKVcr, but with those indispensabb qualifications tact, judgment and experiences have, succeeded admirably under the same conditions. It is, therefore erroneous for a young man to suppose because he has the advantage of a good education, writes with facility, and has a notion of such work, he can "take to journalism" and surmount all difficulties, as It were with a pair of seven-league boots. Some years ago a ybuhg iatn wrote to an American paper that he wanted to be an editor ; and the reply he re ceived is well worth producing here. "Canst thou," asked the editor, "draw up leviathan with the hook thou lettest down ? Canst thou hook up great ideas from the depths of thine intellect, and clean, scale and fry them at five min utes rfotioe ? Canst thou write editori als to m?asiire? Canst thou write an editoriol to fit in a three-quarter column of the paper, which shall be in length just twenty-two inches, having three inches of fine sentiment, four inches for the beginningnine inches of humor in the middle,' and, and outburst of maxim i and precept, six inches long, at the; close?" ' . ; This, of course, will be regarded as a bit of facetious exaggeration on the part cf the editor, and ho doubt it was ; but it really reflects certain nect-ssajy phases in the work of a journalist. Important intelligence' frequently arrives at the newspaper office within a hott time Of tbo paper going to press, and tho editor wishes to be up beside or ahead of his contetripofaries, as most editors do,- he must haye a leading article on the sub' ject in the same issue as that in which the news appears. There is not ft mos ment to be lost ; indeed there may be scarcely time to perform the mere me chanical operat ion of writing what has to be said,' not to speak of bunting about for an idea or appropriate quotation, or a choice form of expression; These must all, in the language of the American ed itor, hooked up, cleaned, scaled and fried without delay .Chambers Jour nal. .'..'.
