TIIE EDITOR'S SOJNG. , The Editor sita at his table, .Writing as well as he's able, Paragraph, leader, and puff ; His scissors beside him I ying, ........ While he in his agony trying, Of copy to furnish enough. Toil, toil, toil ! What a weary life is mine ! Wasting the precious midnight oil In leader., and column, and line ; j Working from morn till night, Working from night till morn. Oh ! why was the news-paper made, Or why was the editor born? Toil, toil, toil! And whose is the gain when done ? Whose are the trophies we achieve, . And for whom are the laurels won? To stand in the foremost rank Of every party fray: To share the toil, and only to get Abuse and neglect for pay ! Toil, toil, toil ! What a thankless task is ours ! To bake the bread and press the cheese That Senator Jones devours ! To ait on a three legged stool, While others have hair-stuffed seats ; To prepare the hash and cook up the stew, But never to taste meats ! Toil, toil, toil! As tho constant drop on a stone, So this ceaseless, endless work Wears away body and bone ! Though the poet splutter and write, Though the orator bully and brawl, If it were not for the editor's pen AVhat were the use of it all ? ' Toil, toil, toil ! Christians, Mormons, and Jews ; Is there a man on this weary earth, But grows richer by reading the news ? Kicher, richer, richer. As they read it by sunlight and taper And yet, there isn't a soul of them all, But grudges to pay for his paper! Toil, toil, toil! There's a row in the very next street! Somebody's going to murder his wife, And I must be off tout suite Yesterday, just at this time, Two policemen got choked in a riot; And so it goes -on from morning till night, And an editor never knows quiet. Gets up, knocks his hat over his eyes, imd rushes out in a state of distraction, "to pick up an item." 3iiornl nnb Jlfligionn, THE PATH TO HEAVEN. We select the following beautiful and in structive allegory from a pleasant Sab!ath 'school book, entitled The Old Man's Home.' Little Annie was mourning for the death of a pious old pauper, who had been under bcr fa ther's charge, and from whom she had learned of the Heavenly home. To the question whe ther she did not expect to meet him again in that home, or whether her home was different from his : 'Oh, no,' she answered, with unexpected earnestuess, 'we are children of the same Fa ther, and all travel to the same Home that is,' she added, looking dowu, and coloring deeply, 'if wc are careful to keep in the path that leads to it.' ' . 'And what path is that, Annie?' The path of trustful obedience, and quiet faith, and holy love,' was her immediate re ply. I knew at once that the words were not her own, but that she spoke lrom memory, and that I had accidentally led her to one of the old man's allegories. I was anxious for my own sake to hear more of it, and it seemed to me that it might be good for her own sorrow, to turn her thoughts for a little wnile into this channel; so I continued : 'And is it a pleasant path, Annie, that leads us home?' It is an up-hill path,' she saldj 'but as we walk along it, we can, if we will, awake soft notes of music beneath our feet, and there are whispering winds to cheer us on our way.' And what, Annie,' I asked, 'do you mean by the soft music and the whispering wind?' 'The soft music is prayer,' she replied, 'and the whispering wind, the Holy Spirit of God.' 'And can we,' I said, 'have the soft music without the whispering wind? I mean, can we pray without the assistance of God's Holy Spirit?' But there was no need for me to have ex plained the question; the language of allegory was most familiar to the mind of the child, and she had recourse to it in her reply. 'No, sir,' she said, 'for the spirit of harmony dwells in thereeze; and it is the wind alone that gives life to the music, and bears it up ward from earth to Heaven.' - I cannot tell how far she realized the deep meanig of these words, for I did not venture to examine her tfpon them. I was afraid lest I should only render indistinct the image which they conveyed to her mind, by touch ing the colors with an unskilful hand. Presantly I resumed: 'It must, Annie, I think, be a pleasant path along which the wind thus murmers, and the music plays!' It is a pleasant path,' she replied, 'and yet it is very thickly covered with thorns. 'But,' she added, and from the smile which for a moment lit up h?r countenance, it seemed as though this were the metaphor which pleased her best, 'they are all magic thorns; and if we look upward to the clear blue sky, and tread firmly upon them, they keep changing into flowers.',." .' .. : ' "; ;." 'And is there not another path,' I said, ven turing to guess at the conclusion of the alle gory, 'which leads away from homeland along which the, flowers, as you tread upon them, keep changing into thorns?' -. --' t. i r But I was wrong in my conjecture, for ' she" i looked perplexed, and replied, 'I do not know, sir, about the other paths; the old man never used to talk to me but of onel' And I felt ashamed of my question, as I said within my self, 'oh happy child, to know as yet but of one path; and happy teacher, to have so shar ed the innocency of childhood as to have spo ken to her but of one ?' - Presently, however, she continued, as though she observed my confusion. 'But sir, he said there were flowers which grow by the wayside. "When the wind blows softly upon them they perfume the air: and their fragrance is very sweet and pleasant to those who pass them by; but if we stop to gather them, then they become magic flowers, aud keep chang ing into thorns. And do you know, sir, why it is so?' 'Not exactly,' I replied; 'I should like you to explain it to me.' 'Because, sir,' she said, 'when we gather them, we stoop down, and turn out eyes to wards the earth, instead of gazing upward up on the clear, blue sky.' 'But, Annie,' I observed, 'you have not yet told me what are the flowers which we gather, or the thorns on which we tread.' 'The thorns,' she replied, 'are the trials and afflictions which God sends us; the flowers, are the pleasures and amusements which we make choice of for ourselves.' Then, Annie,' I said, 'the children who gather the magic flowers are those who follow their own will, while those who tread upon the magic thorns arc such as submit them selves quietly to the will of God.' . Her countenance became grave, and I saw that she already guessed my meaning. I thought her mind was now sufficiently pre pared to allow me to apply directly to her own case the old man's allegory: aud it seemed as though his spirit were resting upon me while I did so, and I used almost unconcicusly the language of metaphor. 'Annie,' I continued, 'a very sharp and piercing thorn was but yesterday placed in your path. Your foot is young and tender, and I do not wonder that you should shrink from treading upon it.' She trembled vio lently at this direct allusion to her grief, and yet looked anxiously in my face, as though she wished me to say more. My own voice began to falter, and I could only add, 'But, believe me, your kind friend did not deceive yon; the thorn of affliction lies on the path homewards; and if you have but courage to walk quietly on, there is none that with grea ter certainty will change into a flower. Go, Annie, and awaken the soft music, and jou will be cheered by the whispering wind.' . Music in the Family. Its beneficial effects may not be doubted. No family should fail to encourage the largest possible amount of mu sical talent. Independent of its happy influ ence on the mind it should be iostered on ac count of its physical advantages. The late Dr. Rush said, "the Germans rarely die with con sumption, because they arc always singing.' If this beautiful accomplishment tends in any degree to mitigate a malady so terrible, for the world's sake let us have a world of it. But there are other reasons, it induces amiability and banishes bad passions. Yc have some where read the statement of an excellent cler gyman, possessing much knowledge of human nature, who instructed a large family of daugh ters in the ordinary practice of music. These were observed to be amiable and happy. A friend 'inquried if there was any-secret in his mode of education; to which he replied: "When any thing disturbs their temper, I say to them, sing; and if I hear them speak against any per son, I call on them to sing for me, and they sing away all discontent, and every disposition to scandal." Such a use of this accomplish ment might seem to fit a family for angels ; young voices around the domestic altar, breathing sacred music at the hour of morn ing and evening devotion, arc a sweet and touching accompany mcnt. Give me Drink. Mr. M'Leod, an English writer, puts the following language in the mouths of those who visit the rumseller's den: There's my money give me drink ! There's my clothing and my food give mc drink ! There's the clothing, food and fire for my wife and children give me drink ! There's the education of the family and the peace of the house give me drink ! There's the rent I have robbed from my landlord, fees I have robbed from the schoolmaster, and innumera ble articles I have robbed from the shopkeep er give me drink ! Pour me out drink for more I will yet pay for it ! There's my health of body, and peace of mind there's my char acter as a man, and my profession as a Chris tian I give up all give me drink ! More yet I have to give ! There's my heavenly in- heritence and the eternal friendship of the re deemed there there is all my hope of salva tion ! I give my God ! I resign all : All that is great, good and glorious in the universe I resign forever, that I may be Drunk- One Fault. He who will turn away from a friend for one fault, is a stranger to the best feelings of the human heart. , Who has not erred, at least once in his life? If that fault were not over looked, to what depths of infamy would not thousands have decended? We know not the peculiar and pressing temtation to which another may be exposed, ne may have fought manfully for months against the sin, and still kept the secret locked in his bosom. He would give worlds to recall the act. He has mourned over it in secret, and repented in dust and ashes. Shall we forsake him? Earth and heaven justice, humanity, philan throphy, and religion cry out, "Forgive him!'' ne who will not forgive must possess the heart of a demon. Surely, the love of God is not in. . nT-Many young ladies make fools of them selves by the looking glass, and many youne men by the drinking glass. 'Bob, did you ever go to the gold mines?' 'Yes.' 'What did : you dig ?' I dug 'out' as quick as the Lord would let me!' If some other people had followed Bob's ex ample we might have had less gold ; but we are quite sure we. would not have had half so much rheumatism. K7"I say boy, stop that ox!" "I haven't got no stopper." "Well head him, then." "He's already headed, sir." "Confound your impertinence, turn him!" "He's right side out already sir." "Speak to him, you rrscal, you!" "Good morning, Mr. Ox." K"F"A saucy boy in the street, is an uner ring index of ill breeding at home. Parents will please mak a note, for this garment will not fit a fex. HT" It is better for a lady to be puffed up with conceit than with cotton. LADIES AND GENTLE-MEN I believe it a good maxim that people should purchase goods wherever they please. But they should not buy too hastily, before they ascertain where they can be best suited. I would most respectfully in vite all (Ladies in particular) to call at R.

NEW VOL UME. 1854.1 In announcing hi readineM to receive orders for tho New Volume, tfee editor does, not know he has any very brilliant ideas to bold out in large capitals to dazzle pcoplc'e eyes 'Graham'.' will be pretty much what it has been the last volume, with some improvements which experience suggests. No number will contain lcs than 100 rages of matter, and the readers of "Gra- ham" may rely with great confidence upon this the volume shall contain OYER TWELVE HUNDRED PAGES ! Of the very best reading matter that capital can command from oaiginal sources. or taste select from the vast mass of available material. The aim of the editor will be to produce a pub lication which sholl be valuable in matter, and choice in taste and style; and he flatters himself, from the known talents of his contributors, that lw will be able to present ns many good original ar ticles to his readers as any publication of the day. Ho shall not, however, hesitate to publish, from time to time, articles from English authors, and translations from the best German and French writers, provided the pieces have never before ap peared in print in this country. Essays on impor tant Political Subjects will likewise "be inserted, and criticisms on the Literature of America and; the movements of the Age. The Lcriew Depart ment, in which a large aud liberal spirit of crit icism will always be maintained, will bo extended. For the defenceof American Diterature the editor will always be ready ; the maintainauce of a cor rect toue in the Magazine, he will, if possible, be still more watchful. EACH XCMBFR WILL CONTAIX AX ESOR AVISO FHOX A FINE STEEL PLATE IX ADPITIOX TO THB CHOICE I'ESIGXS AND KXGHAVINGS OF BEVEKCX, who will supply illustrations for the text- in the body of the book. The aim of the editor will not be so much to increase the number of bis engrav ings, as to secure for those ho publishes the ut most finish the artist can give them ; for common wood-cuts are so easily multiplied, that the most indifferent publication may outrank in dreary dis play the choicest periodical. The Editor does not feel, that with kis own rea ders, he can increnso his claims to respect by in sisting on any very great superiority of -Graham' over several similar -publications, but thinks he may safely confide in their friendship for the Magazine, and in its past management for its pre sent list, and such increase as naturally grows out of an extended circulation in a country where readers are multiplying so rapidly. Of the January number the first adition will be 30,000 copies, and the editor trusts his old friends will be so prompt in renewing old clubs, and ex tending the list among new ones, that the first odition shall bo but half os what the year will ul timately establish, as the permanent circulation of "Graham." Postac.e. Subscribers in any part of theUnited States may now receive the Magazine, by mail, at three cents a number or thirty-six cenU a year postage, payable at the Post-office where it is re ceived.

OUSEIIOLD WORDS. A MONTHLY MAGAZINE AT ?2 PER YEAR. Only those who read the serial so promptly issued every week by Dickens, with thoughtful appreciation, know how to prize it. '-Household Words" is a modern journal for the people, uevotea to common subjects, uncommonly treated, excellent in style, in "-emus, in manner, and wonderfully fertile in subject. The pieces are tho right length; they exhibit wonderful variety and are attuned to a harmonious key and remarkable unity of effect. For the money, there is not the equal of "House hold Words"' for a family journal. Pleasant sto ries, useful knowledge, graceful anecdotes, eharm ing essays, alternate in its pages. It is not al ways convenient to secure a copy of the weekly issue on the arrival of a steamer; in order to enjoy7 regularly this delightful work, we advise our. rea-, ders to possess themselves of the handsome month ly reprint of McEIrath A Baker, who bring out 'Household Words" with commendable punctuali ty, at New-York.
