We regret the delay in the

is more excusable than had be his

he finds he ia better imployed

all this aud inure too, aud peo

own remark, and always have a
good answer very set iu your ways
aud not to explicit ou the start, let
others have a chance to relluct.
All this may-maim but little to a
nou-believer, and it is culy they,
who are not interested iu what a
poaitiou uu editor is placed in, ho
to be entertaining to those round
ab iut him unless 'buy can be a
help to them, if not they laugh
and make fun upou thing they
know nothing about.
Editor, aud the editoiiala are a

easier to read a newspaper than it
is to print it fast enough lor hu

Hen of, but should they ever take
time and go iu a newspaper print
lug, aud see how much there lb to
do, they would timl out a dijler.ent
idea than they first thought, or go
into an editors room, and we

the original P. . of the Gleaner,
vou see can write papers for
iorltl, aud others but could not
write a paper like the Gleaner that
sir ia a paper, but one man to fill
aud the only Jiaper of its )uud
that I ever saw, which J can get
gome news of amusement. ,It has
toojpbliticp, uo Bniutty storiea,it
is original and no dippings and
then you talk about becoming a
D. E. 10 ray hearing! This the
general idea people have thinks
the Gleaner's editor that now con
siderable parties think it in easy
to write a newspaper and he as un
concerned about it as possible.
True, every man has but a calling
in life and with that, can that one
man fill, aud no other. lie can
not be two places at once and ex
pect to make a fortune. Ws may
think all those thir.gs out of the
question but let me tell yon it is
the best way of social training of
the-mind. D. K. is away from his
but yet bis patieace is tried some
what as he mingles with many
people of t ,e famous boarding
house Le sojourus through the wil
derness in the heart of the Adiron
dack" to that of the Sunny South
of North Carolina whore he has
been the last few years of his life.
What a stop be has taken in th
many walks and rules he ras taken

by bis own hands. To think to

ho do it simply by perseverance
ard kuowledge. Patience, tune,
and end w;'h prosperity, and
would not know when to begin, or
no one els but editors themselves,
wbo know evry article in his bus
iness, the same as the cook do9
in the. kitchen, but let a stranger
in and they would have to be there
some tlm before knowing tQe run
of a ki'tcjhen department.
Editorials are made from oiiuda
of : en, aB it is not every one who
can possess this U!ity, even if
it does look easy, yet if ouo don't
believe :, let him try it, aud leave
the occupation he has followed
aud go to entering a uewnpaper as
au editor, one youug mau told I).
E. he was going to become Distin
guished like mine. How said I?
"Well they tell speaker so, aud he
asked every boarder if he was uot
distinguished before me, ol course
they all said yes but, sir you can
not come up to our I. E. you can't
write a pper, your name is IVu-

the boarders.
I). E. knows his business, aud
baa become famous from years of
bard work, all fc.t ouc. We must
chase one calltug, aud learu 'it
well before going ou to a uew. As
to the Gleaner, I had the same
iileu that most meu do that money
was easy to get uot without mak
ing for it iu all kinds of trades
aud yet asside from l his, money ia
given, by 'the haud of some oue
else as a gift but uot from our owu
hard oik. l. E. ralh-jr make
money at iimes fhau be giveu

but if from a gift it is uot always
gladness.
Now I have giveu a gene(ai idea
for the master piece of thia issue
aud iu which I have made some
very strouk assertions iu regard
as well' as to the tidily rial column
aud should the Gleaner haye a
strike betweeu old aud uew print

THE WOMAN WHO CHARM.
From Harper's Round Table:,Io
one of the most intimate and con
fidential talks a dear girl asked
me to tell her what I think the
most desirable gift for a woman.
8he spoke of several friends-osje
of them as having grace of move
ment ; another, as rarely beautifal
with brilliant eyes and lovely
complexion; a third as accoofc
plisbed, playing and sinfing, an 4
speaking two or three language
besides her own ; a fourth, as vers
clever. We may multiply the litJ
and as we look over oor circle of
friends we easily see that uearly
every one hsH something bright
aud individual which commends
her to us ; but the sum of the mat
ter ia that the gift of all gifts for
a girl is expressed in one little
word of five letters charm.
