AN EDITOR’S DUTIES.
We apologise for mistakes made in all former issues, says the ‘ Saub Rapids Sentinel,’ and say that they were inexcusable, as all an editor has to do is to hunt news, and clean the rollers, and set type, and sweep the floors, and pen short items, and fold papers/and write wrappers,: and make the paste, and mail the papers, and talk to visitors, and distribute type, and carry water, and saw wood, and read proofs, and correct mistakes, and hunt the shears, to write editorials, and dodge the bills, and dun the delinquents, and take abuse from the whole force, and tell our subscribers that'we'n< ed money. We say that we’ve no business to make mistakes while attending to these little matters, and getting a living on gopher-tail soup flavoured with imagination, and wearing old shoes and no collar, a : ud a patch on our' pants, obliged to turn a smiling countenance to a man who tells us our paper isn’t. worth a cent, any how, and that he could make a better one with bis eyes shut.
