Extract from a Poem read hefore tA Slxt Annual Session of tha Ohio Editor's and Publisher' As sociation, at Dajjton, BY JAMES JCAM , I knew an editor 'twas long ago, i Befjre the art was blessed by steam cr floB ; When printers dines on unsubstantial fare, . And nucsed their hopes on whispers from the air, Grew rich on poverty, and stuffed their clay . On airy nothings promises to pay. Well, as 1 said, I knew him a rare fellow, Who kept bis own and other's natures mellow; . One of those social souls we all enjoy, Who hold in asre the freshness of thtr Vow Fort h came his paper.nea tly launched and freig ted Ignoring party, in a party sense, Avoiding all that might excite offence, It praised tbe town, its prospects, its advances, Its enterprise, resources, and finances; It praised the schools, the teachers so profound, Until their fame was known for miles aroand ; It praised the village parson's eloquence, His modest bearing, !acR of all pretence, Bat most bis learning and bis solid sense It praised the doctors, as uncommon skilled. Adding, with groat suavity and grace, Their treatment cured more people than it killed : It spoke and of its truth some doubts will spring Uf honest lawyers an uncommon thing Who had a conscience en uncommon case. In short, it praised so well, that people grew To think that praise was merited and due i It was his fault, and grew from an excess Of aim to please and profit nothing less ) And bad be been to self but half the friend He was to others, he bad met an end . That you might safely aim at and command. His influence was felt: the town's fair fame . With all who read his paper found a name : The city pleasurista resorted there, Enjoyed its quiet and its healthful air; The artists came, and sketched such charming scenes, 1 bat they were sought to grace the magaxmes , And thither, too, came men of enterprise Blocks rose on blocks, and mills and factories, Hotels palatial, and stores that vied With those on Broadway, or along Cheapside. In brief, the town, that ere the printer came, Hsd scarce "a local habitation and a name," As though 'twere touched by magic grew to be An inland city: but how flourished he ? Come with me, up three flights of stairs, and there, In dinjry dayhsht and lead-poisonea air, Beside his desk he sits : bis hair has grown Gray with the flecks that time and care have sown: Around him lie exchanges, scraps, and clippings, Half-written leaders, local puffs, and sippings Of Punch-j humour : manuscripts rejected, From geniuses who think themselves neglected ; Obituary verses full of gloom, And doleful voices from a doleful tomb ; " Lines to a Lady." from a Mister Dash, Who's desperately in love with his moustache ; A sentimental song about sea-shells, Writ by a moDine. melancholy she, Who would b ; married, though her face yet imella Of bread-and-butter and the nursery; An eulogy on General Blank's oration, Delivered off-bnnd at the late ovation, And which suggests, by way of mere reflection, ft i. ..i t v-i. a : . .(;. Modesty requests, which hope hell cot refuse To notice this or that in next week's News; A bunch of bad cigars, that some one sends, Expecting thrice their value in a "local f Unopened invitations from his friends, Asking hi3 presence at a concert vocal," Or at a lecture, part, hop, or ball, At such a date ( please mention J ana suca nau; . Novels and books not worth a decent rating, Sent out they send few others but for cash By eastern firms, who take that way of bating The country press to advertise their trasn ; Tn ghort, a hundred things by men devised To get their baubles cheaply advertised. There, patient toiler 1 ever at his work, Himself his forman, publisher, and clerk, He labonred hard few men had labonred harder Grew lean in person, leaner in his larder ; And still be toiled, from dawn to twilight gray, The first of men to court the last to pay J some said that be was rich it might be true, Provided that you reckoned what was due ; But this his dearest friends both said and knew His wants were many, but his dimes were few. His paper-bills came in, which must be paid, So to delinquents he appealed for aid ; ne would take pork, potatoes, corn, or oats, Axe-hclvcs or boop-poles, or, at worst, their notes ; n short, take any thing they bad to pay, 'roviden it was brouzht by such a day. And thus he turned short corners, always pressed, A sad example of Pope's safest saw, "Man never is, but always to be blessed," The victim of a fate that knows no law. eset by butchers, by his baker teased, By creditors besieged, by bailiff's squeezed, lie yielded slowly, in the desperate atrue, His dingv office and bis troubled life, And gave to quiet earth and modest stones . His many virtues and bis aching bones. For Little Folks- .. . . r- TJIIir. PLACE IN THE ICE. Hurra for the skaters! How they wheel, how they skim over the clear smooth jce. The air is still, the sun brinht : the trees, fields, and fences are germed with brilliants ; and the earth looks like a superb snow-palace, witn broader halls and richer rooffing than ever Queen Catharine of Russia had in her famous ice-palace on the Neva. I believe the boys like winter best. r Thev like the river better for skating than sailing, the hills or coasting ; and then, -what music so merry as the jingling of the sleigh-bells "bells, bells, bells? A winter scene like this reminds me of a skating scene long ao. There was always a thin place in the ice on our river, near the dam, where the boys were warned not to go. "Gire a wide berth to the thin ice yonder," was said to the little boys and new recruits among the big boys. But it was singular how almost every boy like J to try his skates in that dangerous vicinity. One would shuffle along and reconnoitre. Another he didn't believe there teas any danger would take a bolder sweep, and just es cape its edge. Another he didn't care for danger, not he would shoot across it, bending and cracking under him, and only save himself by the swiftness of his flight : until the leader of?a gang of boys. in the high excitement of a chase, dashed boldly on the thin place in the ice, every nne t his Wis. Crack, crash! plunging, leaping, splashing, and half a dozen were struggling and gasping ior me in uie icy waters. Two of the boys were drowned; two were rescued by almost superhuman efforts; two saved themselves. I often am reminded of the thin place in the ice, for I see many just such thin places on the surface of society, where, in spite of ; all warning, many and many a boy slumps through, or makes a bold plunge to ruin. - When I see a boy strutting with his first cigar, spending his first earnings at the livery stable, forsaking the society of his sisters for "nobody knows whe," which is generally pretty doubtful company, Ah. I say, he's bearing cn a thin place in society Which will certainly let him down if he does not beat a retreat, and thai speedily. S hen I see a young man sprinkling his talk with slang phrases, fond of bet ting, carrying a pack of cards in his pocket, and seeming to have plenty of leisure, Ah, I say, that young man is on a thin place in the ice4 When I see a young man careless cf small debts, willing to be dunned, often off duty, and calling his father "the old man," anl know that young man is on a thin place in the ice. When I see a young man's seat at church vacant, find him fond of picking flaws in Christian character, complaining uf the strictness of his minister, quibbling with Bible truth, and edging off from the whoh some restraints of a pious education, I say that young man is on a thin place in the ice, which will certainly give way under him, and lea him floundering and sink ing in the cold waters of ungodliness and ruin. There are a great many thin places on the surface of society, boys. Give them a wide berth. Secure solid footing, and then go ahead. Press on, right on, and on for the right. Courtship. Courtship is the last brilliant scene in the maiden life of woman. It is, to her, a garden where no weeds mingle with the flowers, but all is lovely and beautiful to her senses. It is a dish of nightingales served up by moonlip-ht to the mingled music of manly tenderness and gentle whispers an eagerness that does not out step the bounds of delicacy, and a series of flattering, throbbing, hisrh pulses, burniijg cheeks, and drooping lashes. But, however delightful it may be, courtship is, nevertheless, a serious business ; it is the first turning point in the life of a woman, crowded with perih and temptations. There is as much danger in tha strength of love as in its weakness. The kindled hope requires watchinsr. The rose tints . m. of affection dazzle and bewilder the un agmation, and wnile always bearing in mind that life without love is a wilderness, it should not be overlooked that true af fection requires solid supports. Discretion tempers fashion, and it is precisely that quality which, oftener than any other, is found to be absent in courtship. Young adies in love,, therefore, require wise counselors. They should not trust too much to the impulses of the heart, nor be too easily captivated by a winning exte- nor. in the selection er .a Busoana, character should be considered more than appearances. loung men incimea to in temperate habits even but slightly 'j rarely make good husbands in the end ; they have not sufficient moral stamina to enable them to resist temptation even in its incipient stages, and, being thus de ficient in self-respect, they can not possess that pure, uncontarninated feeling which alone capacitates a man for rightly ap preciating the tender and loving nature of a true woman. The irreligious man is" like a ship" without a rudder, and he never can make a good husband ; for a house darkened by cold skepticism or an indifference to religion and its duties is . l it never a home it is merely a sneiter; there is but little warmth in the atmos phere of the rooms, and every object in them looks chill and chilling. The indo- ent man, likewise, cannot be expected to make a good husband, for he neglects his time and wastes his estate, allowing it to Iw It overrun with tnisties ana Dramaies, ana subsists on the industry of others. Every precaution, then, is necessary in the selec tion of a husband. . . 's Malange. A satirical Poetess tells the editor of the Ifew York Leader the manner in which she wants to be "done for" after her . spirit has departed for that world where poetess, are of no more account than the prosiest washerwoman : . Psalms of DaTld. The following eloquent extract is from a lecture by Henry Giles on the Psalms of David: ' "Great has, been their power in the world. They resounded amid the court of the tabernacle'; they floated through he lofty and solemn space of the temple; they were sung with glory on the Hills of Zion ; they were sung with sorrow by the streams of Babel. And when Israel had passed away, the harp of David was still awakened in the church of Christ. In all the eras and ages of that church, from the hymn which was first whispered in an upper chamber until its anthems lined the earth, the inspiration of the royal prophet has enraptured its devotions and ennobled its rituals. Chorused by the winds of Heaven, they have rolled over the broad desert of Asia, in the matins and vespers of ten thousands of hermits. They have rung through the deep valleys of the Alps, in the sobbing voices of the forlorn Waldenses ; through the deeps and caves of Scottish Highlands, in the rude chant-in"- of the Scottish Covenanters; through the woods and wilds of primitive Amer ica, in the heroic hallelujahs cf princely pilgrims.

Pick pocixt One who gives purse-an'-all re lief, or one wh.3 never leaves us till he relieves us. UI declare," said Brown to Robinson, "I never knew a flatter companion than vourself". Ah, my friend" said Robinson, "All the world knows you are &jiat:er-er. "WHEX I AM DEAD." When I am dead I want to lio As snug and cozy as can te ; I want yoa all to weep and sigh, And make a great fuss over ne ; I want you all to wear your beit, And even better if you can, And, Oh! let each invited gues; Bo nothing but a handsomo man.

He was confident that he would surprise the natives give them such a rendition of the character as they had never previously witnessed, and we are inclined to think he could have done it. Upon being requested to give a specimen of his talent, he delivered himself as fol lows: "Ecoutez-vous, shut your mout, atten dez, and you shall hear ; I speak wid your tongue, en perfection je parle English just like an Englishman. Aha, sure, je commence wid de beginning. Richard enter solo, all alone by himself! He speake de grand soliloque. Attendez-moi look at me !

A servant girl, accompanying her mistress, had sunk into a profound slumber; but just as the lamp was lit she awoke, and half asleep im agined herself in the infernal regions Frantic with .fright, she implored her Maker, to' have mercy on her re marking, at the same time, 'the devil has not me at last.' Her mistress, sitting on the seat in front of the terrified negro, wa3 deeply mortified, and called upon her : Mollie, don't make such a noise. it is I, be not afraid.' The poor African imme diately exclaimed: 'Oh, missus, dat you ? Jest what I 'spected ; I allu3 thought if eber I got to de bad place, I would see you dar.'

"Will he," said the lady, "will he? Give me my bonnet, Molly; I will see whether any fellow has such impudence !" "My dear." said the cooling husband, "pray do not be too rr h; you do not know what a man may do when he's in a passion." In a gay circle in the Fauburg St. Honore, they were complimenting the beautiful Dutchess de on the ap proaching and apparent birth of an heir to so illustrious a house. , "Say nothing of it to my husband," she replied ; "it's a nice little surprise I am preparing for him."
