Tho editor of tho Clearfield Re
publican, who is about retiring after
forty years active service, pets elf
the following :
Editing a newspaper is a pleasant
business if you can stand it.
If it contains many advertisements
the subscribers complain that they
Jake too much spao i.
If there is a scarcity of advertising
it is unpopular uud tho people won't
have it.
If we attend church regularly they
say we go for effect.
If wo stay away from cburcb tlioy
say we are monstrously hoalhouisli.
If wo accept an invitation to a
wed ling they say wo were only in
vited to "rite it un."
If we go to the opera house, they
say we go on freo tickets.
If we are seen upon the streets too
often they say we neglect our busi
ness. If we avoid going ou the streets
they say we don't hustle arouud af
ter the news.
If wo reject a loug winded coin
muuicatioti its author becomes fu
riously enraged and discontinues
his paper.
If we publish lengthy ommuuici
tious our readers say we lack discre
tion and put iu anything "to till
up."
If we neglect to decorate our of
fice windows ou the Fourth of July,
they sav we lack enterprise aud that
there isn't a drop of patriotic blood
flowing iu our degraded carcasses.
If wo swell out a new suit of
clothes aud celebrate grouud hog
day, they say we got our good
clothes in payment jfor advertising,
and that we are by fir too foppish,
If, in our frailty, we sometimes
perpetrate a j ke, or m iko u stag
ger at a poor little pun, tlioy say wo
are exceedingly light, and won't do.
If we omit auy jokes they say we
are pojr, miserable fossils.
If wo are single they sav wo ur
too helpless to nut uiarriud.
If we are u1t single they say it is a
pity for our wives.
If we publish a man who lias
brought (lisgruco upon his family,
the friends of the family never for
give us. If wo out of goodness of
heart decline to say anything on tho
subject, the man's enemies are dis
appoiu'ed, and wo are branded as
white-livered cowards.
We aro able to stand those rapt
and many more, and me always
ready to receivo visitors whothoi ac
companied by n dog or not. Of
course wo do not claim there is any
work iu running a newspaper; ev
eryono knows it is a snap.
