The New Vork Citizen thus describes the Tribune office and editor- If we go into the time-honored and time-devoured editorial room- of the Tribune, a rickety shame to a great newspaper, we shall mo-t likely find the tall and venerable figure of the ancient Solon Robinson—a man of long white beard, cheery eyes, and keen physiogonomy alto gether. Next to father Horace, who is as groat a character a- the nation's Father Ybraham. perhaps the most individual man on this paper is this same rural wiseacre. Bok>n Robinson, whose beaming face, like a '"rose in the snow."' suggests all manner of subtle eartberaft. sunburnt mirth, and out of dor wisdom. We -hail see Samuel Wil kinson. who did as much to build up Thur low Weed and as much to break him down a- any body in New York. A writer of very nervous Kngiish is this Mr. Wilkinson. Bayard Taylor, said to be plumper than of old. a perennial srniler and a hearty fellow, may lie seen smoking a cigar, reading an English journal or telling some Russian ex perience to Mr. 'icoriro Smaller. who has come home from a famous interview with Bismarck, which i- the envy and admiration ot foreign correspondents. Smalley is an able-bodied. abie-uiinJed, stately younir man. a young Puritan editor (so 'tis saidi who looks you full in the eye. aud talk- right to the point with that pecu liar euphony which reminds one of Boston —Boston, which StuaUey has not the least aiuount of anti-Vankftft for ! Per hap? we shall see, too. Clarence Cook con versing with the traveled Kiehardsun—- Cook, with a sunny, bearded, scholar's face, sby aud good looking—who writes with an immense swan quill, but can be as severe as justice to pretentiou- art. and gc-nial as the day to humble merit. Perhaps no one is more disliked by New York artists, and no ! one is really more worthy of their esteem. He has been remorsele--ly just, persistent and able, has done more to reform art in this neighborhood than any critic in America. Richardson is jaunty and genial, has a well developed l.cad. not much worse for his rebel victimage, but full of wholesome expe rience. We believe he is writing a book of Western travel, and will -iron .-tart in the Tribune ,-erviee on a world journey. That short, keen-eyed, brisk little man, who walks off with such a business quickstep, is S. T. Clark, the monev editor, a worthy successor ! of George Snow. i The rather swarthy young man who sorts j out hi- letters as he smokes his cigar who ha- sharp marked features, a clear face,open brow, and a Vandyke sort of a head, is John Stockton, a tiew corner iu the daily jourual ! ism of New York, but has written a couple ] of live comedies, has contributed j>oeui "A®ol ratter fhs> have ever taiked with Walter Savage Ijan dor in Italy—has just passed into the mana ger s room. It is Miss Kate Field, the wri ter of those admirable, but too enthusiastic. Kistori criticisms in the Tribune. She bow ed just now to \\ illiain Winter, theatrical critic. poet, essayist, and honorable gentle man and chaste writer, whom not to know one way or other is not to be a journalist in New York. There- is a quaint elderly man. with a farmer's face, who used to paint those queer, Dutch pictures of farm life in ] the ' Dongola Letters." who assists Solon Robinson, and w hose name is Nathan Meek er. A tall, good lookiDg fellow, with the face of a young professor, is Ha.-sard, who wrote a "Life of Archbishop Hughes," and occupied Ripley's place while the veteran ! reviewer was iu Europe. Cigar in mouth, cane in hand, and somewhat better favored in the flesh than the "physiognomy of shades, " that make up the popular idea of an editorial room, comes this way the niu sicai critic. Henry C. Watson. These are the principal memlier.s of the Tribune team as it runs to-day ; we are not sure that we : have told them all off, or have done them impartial justice. The driver is not visible at this time. He sits in a warm room, to one side, well fitted up, and ornamented with bu?ts, pictures and curio.-ities— generally holding a busy levee, or tiying to see to the bottom of an immense mail —giving DO sign but the occasional tinkle of a little bell. While we sit in waiting with a train of news paper clients, let us take an imaginative i glance at him. John Russell Young was born iu 1840 in ; an anti-slavery locality, somewhere in Ches ter county, Pennsylvania. So up to this date, the present managing editor of the Tribune, filliug a chair oi responsibility which none but men almost twice his age have occupied heretofore, cannot be older i than twentv-si*. A quiet young fellow —thut is the stran ger's first preposse-rion of the well-built, middle sized gentleman who sits back in the manager's chair reading a letter or listening to an application. A good talker you find hiut, it you are expert to trap him into a topic of sufficient interest to a daily news paper—a good one to talk about Washington polities,; for, man and boy, he has learned dc>n t'fi'uil'hitn ignorant of men ytfIYTHiHP? for he lias traveled that way. too. Soldiers can tell him little that is new, for he has read the history of campaigns, and gone bat tle-ward in Loui.-iana and Virginia. Gossi pers of Finance find him intelligent—for has he not had charge ot a loan? Literary folks discover that he has cultivated tastes and wide reading. I'robe him on all sides, and this youngest of managers is not shallow Justsneh a inany rn'mded sympathizer and worker a managing editor should be. Oth erwise described, our journalistic hero has a young face, spare but somewhat large, with a downward cast of thought, a promi nent. pointed nose, and a very large and dominant head. The face is one on which hair can not grow fast. It i., the clear and expressive frontispiece of a shrewd, nervous, cautious, but incessant thinker, who is cot troubled with billiousness. but looks as if he had worked hard, and would never cease to work. A MEMORY; OK SIDNEY SMITH At the time w hen the M- muh - oj iter. Sidney Smith, written by his daughter, the late Lady Holland, were given to the public, we published in Tin slethodixt a sketch of that genial humorist and good man, to gether with anecdotes illustrative of the the keenness of his wit, and at the same time of the benevolence of his heart "A Memory" has recently appeared in the Art Juurna). written with so just an apprecia tion of Mr. Smith's character, that we feel inclined to transcribe a few extracts for the benefit of our readers. His appearance and manner are described more fully than we remember elsewhere to have seen : "Sydney Smith wa- of portly figure, stout, indeed clumsy, with a healthy Jnqk.and a seif enjoying aspect. He wa- rapid in move ments as well as in worth, and evidently studied ea.-e more than dignity. In his youth a college friend used to say to him : 'Syd ney. your sense, wit and clumsiness always give me the idea of an Athenian eartcr:' andeerta'nly in his age those who saw or conversed with him. as a ,-tranger. would have had little idea that be was a dignitary of Oiu t'Kwrvl, ',>. i - ..alu'.n [ll Si Paul ' There was a roll in his gait wheu iu the pulpit, which an unfriendly observer might have described as 'rollicking.' and in gener al society his chief object seemed to be 'fun. But always a listening throng kept pace with his movements about the room. There was wit. but there was a smack of philosophy in every senteuse he uttered, while in the pulpit one forgot a certain ungainly awk wardness of manner, not alone because of the homage paid to acknowledged geniu-, but becau-e of the sound, practical, and yet -oiemn view he took of the cause of which be was the anointed advocate, and perhaps , his exhortations and denunciations received j augmented weight from the conviction that I you heard a man of profound learning de i tending and propagating the truths of the Gospel. Wit in most meu degenerate? into a sort of semi-profanity, and is liable to be exer cised at the expense of the feelings and char acters of others. With Sydney Smith this was never the case : 'As be was otic of the wittiest -o he was one of the soundest :as he was one of the wisest so he was one ot' the best, of men. His censure was always generous, his sen tences ever just. Prudent, considerate, charitable, and humane, he was the very opposite of those professional wit- who sel dom speak except to stab ; ot those politic al reformers who have no toleration lor vir tue —in adversaries ; of those social ameli orators who are good Satnarirans in word*, omittioir only the penny and the oil at the inn and by the wayside 1 His wit seemed to have beeu the sponta ueous bubbling up of his rich exuberance of mental and physical vigor. One said of him tiiat"he was sometimes mad with spirits and 1 must talk, laugh, or burstand how cheer ting must thatlaugb have beeu. which Tal* ■lcninßll'- FHWAY. APRIL U>.

CLERICAL RECREATIONS. A writ, r in a recent number of Black > Magazine, in speaking of amusements in general, regrets that there are so few left "in which the country parson mat" venture to take hi? share. ' But," says Black wood, "the unwritten law against clerical amusements ha?, ae might DC supposed, some very carious anomalies Their law fulness or unlawfulness depends, in some people—mind?, upon the very oddest dis, (auctions. We remember '.we are really not drawing from our imagination for ocr facts j a clergyman of the 'strongest evangelical views who w? - very fond of shooting—and an excellent shot he was. It seemed to have been borne in upon hiui by some ob liquity of conscience, not uncommon in a narrow minded school, that the sinfulness of such pursuit lay not in the act but in the costume so instead of the ,u dinar* shooting coat and gaiter? he took the field in solemn state, in a full dress black suit, low shoes and white stockings, and a white tie with very long ends—for all the world as it' he were going to preach to the birds instead of to shoot tbem. To see that black swallow j tail go through a brambly cover (for the | country was wild, and the chief sport it 1 afforded was cock shooting) was as out American friends would say, 'a caution. This writer thinks that outdoor exercises may be cultivated by the English clergy with advantage, the main point being the manner in which they are pursued: "It is desirable that whatever the parson does, he should do well and thoroughly; aDd the more things he can do in this style the better. There is a profane tendency among his parishioners to look upon him as a good kind of old woman well meaning according to his lights, useful for presiding over soup distribution and clothing c 1 and teaching 'little i ildren but as he jdess as one of these innocents in all secular relations of life. Some persons may even fancy tbat these negative qualities are, on the whole, becom ing in the clerical character, as not tod much concerned with the things of this world. They make a great mistake, in a country like England. Englishmen, high or low. appre ciate energy and excellence in every kind. They will respect the parson very much more if they see that be is good for some thing else besi de- dealing out weekly lengths of sermon. The -quire thinks none the less o! him because he i.- a fair judge of a horse, the churchwarden puts some faith :n a ! teacher who can take up his parable, out of church, upon turnips. The young farmer and the farmer s lad are not gTeat in divinity. The result upon their minds of their attend ance not too regular) upou the afternoon sermon is very much what the poet descri *l n'nerknowe'i what, a ineao'd, bat J thwt a ,ad ka id ma! to s&ay, An I thewt a said what a uwt to, hi ?aid an I corned awaay/ But they soon get to be fair judges of the terrible accuracy of the practiced jjowler, and are rapt in admiration of the drives for four, which seem made so easily, but which their own stronger anus utterly fail to emu late. And they come to a very not a strictly logical, that tbe the other. The sermons may still be as beautifully unintelligible to them as the wrist-play, but they will at least have a pleas ant consciousness that their teacher knows what he is about. —A' tr Fork Mtthod!*t. WEBSTER IM CALBOI'K. I was in Washington in the winter of 1830- 31 when I painted the fortrait of John C. f'aihouu. Daring the sittings, be invited me to come up to the Senate, as there was to be an interesting debate. Mr. Havpc was to speak on the subject of "Foote s Resolu tions" in reply t<> a short speech of Mr. i Webster, t ac-epted the invitation, and Mr. Calhoun admitted me as one of the ma ny favored ones Mr. Haync was most elo quent. and exceedingly bitter in his remarks upon Mr. Webster's speech : and so seath inc in his denunciations of New England and her policy, that I felt his sarcasms were unanswerable. I think all the friends of Mr. Webster thought so too. The louth side of the Senate were vociferous in their j applause. At night. 1 went to seethe fall en great man, a- I considered him. My daughter was visiting Mi. Webster's daugh ter at the time. To my surprise. I found him cheerful, even playful. He had the two girls upon his knees. I told him I ex pected to find him in another res)m, pointiug to his library "Time enough for that in the morning." said he. Mr. Calhoun gave rue soother sitting the next morning. He seemed to think the great champion of the North was annihilated, lie said it was a pity he had laid himself open at so many points. I needed no invi tation to go to the Senate that morning. 1 went early to the gallery and secured a seat among the reporters. As Mr. W cbster en tered the Senate, all eyes were turned upon him. He was elegantly dressed and appa rently less excited than any of his friends. I felt towards Mr. Webster as 1 imagine a criminal might feel who looks to his counsel I to save him from punishment for some crime he is charged with He soon, however, put ! rae at my ease. As he proceeded with his ' -peech all his frit rtds felt satisfied that vic tory wa- his. I need make no further allu don to this splendid effort, as it is as famil n i u me next Tuorn'itie Tasked Mr. Calbouu what he thought of Webster s reply. He said sun oly, but with great emphasis, "Mr. eb ■ ster is a strong man. sir. a very strong man WEBSTER AT HOME. | Webster's family dinners were always j charming. We always found sumptuous fare, though not elaborate Often the great feature of the feast wouid be chowder or dun-fish, both of which dishes be excelled in. One day 1 was admiring and praising the latter, and asked him where he procur ed them; He said from his friend. Charles Cutter of Portsmouth, X. II I said that I got mv fish from the same gentleman, hut they did not seem to be of the same quail- j ty ; but )>crhaps they were not as skillfully : I cooked.

He is tailed upon to furnish others not only with ideas but brains as well. He has every one to please, and straggles bard to accomplish I tb't, end, Yet the difficulties are so great he rarely succeeds. The editor of the Ohio Staff Journal is thoroughly sound on this point, and in discussing it says with truth somebody will always be found to find fault with him. cither for what he publishes cr else for what he leaves out. It ie a singular fact that the articles a writer considers his best are frequently passed over by the reader without notice, while another which costs little labor and is considered of little conse quence. is extensively reprinted. The editor roust never follow his own taste ; if be docs, he pleases himself alone. He may feel an intense disgust for "horrible •#- dents"—a large share of his readers crave them as a person with disordered stomach does unwholesome food. He may be nau seated by marvellous stories —many of his rcaden- will leave his profoundest discussions of political principles (or want of principle) unread, for a story of some monstrosity. The politician wonders why he has no exhaust ive leader on the taxation of town-pumps ; il he has a stunning article on that subject every body else wonders why so uninterest ing a matter was allowed to occupy so much valuable snace. Yoang gentlemen just be ginning to discover the shadow of a coming event on the upper lip, think it a doosid boah that there is not more nit* poetry . ladies would like to see somcthiiiy about the new est and sweetest thing in bonnets; old Cent percent wants to know the state of the mar kets, as also does our friend Dandie Din- mont. who has cattle for sale. The Kev. Mr. Sleek thinks we are ruining the morals of the rising generation by publishing ac counts of horse races, base-balls, and other wickedness ; old Miss Prim wants to hear some lovely scandal, elopement or suicide Farmer Broidacres wants to know the best breed of sheep : and the farmer's wife and pretty daughters want to read a nice story. All these different tastes and a thousand others have to be gratified. Kverybody 1 ►may get the particular thing he wants, yet he is dissatisfied and distressed, because there is something in the paper he don t want, never dreaming that the something is the very thing another will read with the greatest delight. TRUTH AT HOME. Of all happv households, that is the hap- j piest where falsehood is never thought of. All peace is broken up when once it appear* that there is a liar in the house. -All com- I fort has gone when suspicion ha? entered — ' when there must be a reserve in talk, and j reservation in behalf. Anxious parents who i are aware of the pains of suspicion, will plaee general confidence in their children, and receive what they say freely, unless there is strong reason to distrust the truth of any one. Should such an occasion nn- I happily arise, thev must keep the suspicion j from spreading as long as possible, and avoid I disgracing their poor child while there is a | 1 ,L J ibv.

If he can be cured, he will become truly grate ful for the treatment. If the endeavor fails, means must, of course, be taken to prevent his example from doing harm and then, as , I said, the family peace is broken an, be cause the family confidence is gone. I fear that, for some cause or other, there are but few large families where every member is altogether truthful. But where all are so organized and so trained as to be wholly re liable in aet sud word, they are a light to all aud a joy to all hearts. They are public benefits, for they are a point of general reli ance ; and are blessed within and without. Without, their life is. made easy by universal trust and within iheir home and their hearts they have the -security of rectitude, and gladness of innocence. — Ilarrii t M>rti ne'itt. A FAITHFUL FRIESD. About a year since u young man. known ; to the writer, went into a certain office on an i errand of hnsines*. Ac ho Wiu u 1,0111 Uv j ing. the proprietor said to him: "My young i friend, are you a Christian ?'' He replied. "I regret to say that Ipmnot." That faith ful friend then" kindly urged him to seek Christ at onee,to delay no longer securing the pearl of great price. The young man thank ed him politely and said he would "think of it." In three weeks his widow called at the same office to bring his dying message. Said she : "He thought much of your kind ad vice. and resolved to seek religion. He was suddenly taken sick. After a few days he found sweet peace in believing, became en tirely resigned to the divine will, and died in the triumph of faith. "Tell my friend N, ' said he. "that 1 thank him with my dying breath for his faithfulness to my soul. His words led me to think seriously of my eternal interests to give my heart to Jesus, and to prepare for this dying hour." To "his father, who. like too many pro fessing Christians. had been remiss in his religious duties, he said, "Don't neglect the other children Be you neglected mt.

A humorous contributor to the St. Louis fbjnMica* evidently understands the capa bilities of the English language. He at j tempted {£ s*aka a Johnson speech iu a : Radical meeting, with the following result : "Fortunately there wa j but one light in the room, and that a tallow candle. The first chair hurled at me struck it. and left us all in the dark. 1 ojuld hear them rushing toward the stand. I made for the doer That was a sympathetic crowd. They could not see me but they felt for inc. On they came, and on I went. Came in contact vi olently with the globe-like form of old Chopps. Just for fun. I tipped him over, and cried out, 'Here.

I heard him screaming tor quarter. lam sure he never got it There was not a quarter in all that crowd. Once outside, two or three of them recognized me by the gaslight, and. O ! per simmons ! didn't they freeze to me : I said something about free speech. They replied something about freebooters —illustrating their remarks with practical demonstrations I bore up under it (or before it), until I reached a pile of brick., and you should have seen them scatter. Again I was mas ter of the situation, and deeming discretion the better part of valor. 1 broke down the , street, as hard as I could tear. It takes a strong man to break down a street, but 1 did it nevertheless. HOPE AND COURAGE. True hope is based on energy of charac acter. A strong mind always hopes, and has always cause to hope, because it knows the mutability of human affairs, and bow slight a circumstance may change the whole course of events. Such a spirit, too. rest? upon itself; it is not confined to particular objects ; and if at last ali should be lost, it has saved itself its own integrity and worth. Hope awakens courage, while despondency 1 is the last of all evils; it is the abandonment of good—the giving up of the battle of life : with dead nothingness. He who can im ; plant courage in the human soul is the best j chysician. To seek to govern men by their fears and their wants is an unworthy pur : rose: the desire to rule by means of coward- ICO is of itself cowardice. Love inspires courage and hope. and this is doubly the giver and preserver of life. Whatsoever teaches us boldly to combat the manifold : evils and a? 'auks of life, enables us to win the crown of victory. .Special care, there fore. ought to be takeu in education to teach what true courage is_ —as well in social and domestic as in public affairs— and by what means it may be best sustained. THE POWER OF WOMAN.— Whatever may be the customs and laws of country, the women of it decide the morals. They reign because they hold possession ot our affec u. Dui lufluencv is mure or less salutary, according to the degree of esteem which is granted them. Whether they are our idols and companions, the reaction is complete, and they make us such as they are themselves. It seems as if nature con nected our intelligence with their dignity, as we connect our morality with their virtue This, therefore, is a law of eternal justice man cannot degrade women without him self falling into degradation ; he cannot raise them without himself becoming better. Let us cast our eyes over tlfe globe and observe those two great divisions of the human ; race, the east and the west. One-half of | the ancient world remain without progress or thought and under the load of 3 barba • rous cultivation ; women are serfs. The other half advance toward freedom and light; the women are loved and honored LOVE OF THE WORLP.—A Dervish onee went into a confectioner's shop. The con fectioner, to honor hiin, poured some honey into a dish before hioi. Immediately a swarm of flies settled, as was their wont up op the honev : some uDon the edce of the dish, hut the greater number in the middle. The confectioner theu took up a whisk to drive them off. when those upon the side flew away with ease, but the others were prevented from rising by the honey clinging to their wings, and were involved in ruin. Said the dervish, 'That honey dish is like the world, and the honey like its pleasures. Those who enjoy themselves with modera tion and contentment, when the whisk of death approaches, not having their hearts filled with the love of them, can with ease escape its snare; while all who, like the fool i ish flies, have given themselves wholly to I their sweetness, will meet with destruction. EFFECTS OF CLEANLINESS.— With what care and attention do the feathered race wash, themselves and put their plumage in order ! And how perfectly neat, clean and elegant do they appear ! Among the beasts of the field, we find those that arc the most cleanly arc the most gay and cheerful, or dis tiuguislicd by a o rtain air of tranquility and contentment : and singing birds are al ways remarkable for the neatness of their plumage. So great is the eflfect_pfj:leanli- moral tharacte:. Virtue never dwelt long with filth ; oci do I believe there ever was a person scrupulously attentive to cleanline-f who was a consummate villain. Cov-t Rumford. FIND FACLT IN PRIVATE.— Find fault, when you must find fault, ic private, if possible, and some time after the offence, rather than at the time. The blamed are less inclined to resist when they are blamed without witness. Both parties are Kilmer and the accused pen-on may be struck with the forbearance of the accuser, who has seen the fault, and watched lor a private and proper time for mentioning it. Never be harsh or unjust with your children or ser vants. Firmness, with gentleness of de meanor, and a regard to the feelings, con stitutes that authority which is always re spected and valued. If you have any cause 1 to complaiu of a servant, never speak basP ! ily. wait, at all events, until you have had j time to reflect on the nature of the offense. YOCR OWN GOOD NAME. —Some one ! says to young men. don't rely upon fnends. Don't rely upon the name ef your ances tor. Thousand-- have spent the prime of life in the vain hope of receiving help from those whom they call friends; and thousands have starved to death because they had a rich father. Rely upon the good name • which is made by your own exertions; and , know that better than the best friend you have, is an unquestionable reputation united with decision of character. Yot may depend upon it he is a good man whose Intimate friends are all good. I and whose enemies are all of a character dc- I cidedl.v bad.
