I Editor Smith, of the Punxsutaw ! ney Spirit, who has sacrificed him l self upon the public altar to the ex j tent of four terms in the legislature, laments the attacks upon members lof that body. If they continue it i will become "a disgrace instead of an ' honor to be a member of that body, and we can expect nothing less than its degeneracy." Mr. Smith is evi ; dently not acquainted with the words of the poet: ! -Honor and fume from 110 condition rise. Act well your part, there all the honor lies. ' Membership in the legislature is a disgrace only to those who make it so. They should so act that it would not be necessary to speak ill of them. The press of the state would delight in being able to "point with pride" to the legislature, if the members of that body would only act in a way that made it possible to take pride in them. But when the minority persist to rule and clog 1 its workings, then what. "Life should be ftill fc of earnest work, our hearts undashed by fortune s frown; | Let perseverance conquer tate And merit seize the victor's crown." It is always well to bear in mind these wise words that are doled out as balm,even if at times it is equal to swollowing a double dose of com pound cathartic pills supplemented by a goodly dose of ipicac, for life is a perplexity and a riddle. No one can understand it, no one can master it. It is high and it is low; it is great and it is small; it is the great est thing in the world; it is the poor est thing in the world; it is of inesti mable value, and it is of no value; it is a bundle of contradictions and a mass of contrarieties. No knowledge can understand it, but the general judgment of the race upon this mys terious thing which we call life is that it is sad. It is not the judg ment of the poor and the ignorant alone, but of the wise, the rich, the prosperous and the* gifted. All poetry exhales it;all literature perpe tuates it; all history records it; phi losophy reckons with it; editors can not escape it, all human hearts feel it. East Forks. W. F.
