Prenttce'- hands, but he knew that aftr the firt month he could lake the place of the chief ed itor and discharge hi- duiie-- in a way that would render the rvader oblivi ju to the change. The great lournall-t had. bv a very dear friend bn r-c-ommendni to Prentnt. coDsequeutlv the editor wa anxiou-, that the young man shou'd do wIL During the after noon of the third day. Edward- went into Prentice:- room. and. with an air of self.-caniidince. began fit hoa.-fuf. his, new-paper acqu rements. "There i- a great deal in the new paper business, af.er all." said he. Mr. Prentice agreed that there wa.- a great deal m. the newspar business after alL Ye. r." Edwards coat nueL -when I was at i.hool I ue 1 to think that a man coul i learn all about the I whole thing in a day or two, but he f can't do it I think, thoujh. that -ome men inherit a kind of insijrht into the journaliitie profe-son. don't you s" It seems o.

Therefore.
