Editing A Paper

Editing a paper now is a very pleasant business. If it contains too much political matter, people wont't have it. If it oontains too little they won't have it. If the type is small they can't read it. If we publish telegraph reports folks say they are nothiDg but lies. If we omit them, they say we have no enterprise, or supprfiss them for polilical effect. If we have in a few jokes, folks say we are nothing but a rattle-head. If we omit jokes, they say we are an old fossil. If we publish original matter, they damn us for not giving sclections. If we publish selections, folks say we are lazy for not writing more and giving them what they have not read in some other paper. If we give a man eomplimentary notices, we are censured for being partial. If we do not, all hands say we are a greedy hog. If we iusert an artiole whieh pleases the ladies, men becoine jealous. If we do not cater to their wishes, the paper is not fit to have in their house. If we attetid church, they say its only for effect. If we do not, they denounce us as decoitful aud desperately wioked. If we speak well of any act of the President, folks say we dare not do otherwise. If we censure, tliey cali us a traitor. if we remain in the ofiSce and atteod to business, folks say that we are too proud to mingle with our fellows. If we go out, they say we never at tend to business. If we do not pay all bilis promptly, folks say that we are not to be trusted. If we do pay prompt, they say we stolo the money. If wo wear poor clothes, they say business is poor. If we wear good ones, they say we are a spendthrift. Now, what s a poor fellow to do ?
