We find tho following soliloquy upon ''copy in the Clipper, and have no doubt it will be appreciated iu the proper quarter : Mary, an orphan, was hired by a lady to help do housework. "I pity you" Said a girl whom she met coming from the door, as she was going to her new place. "Why?" asked Mary C.

To write or not to writo", that's what's the matter. Whether lis easier for the editorial mind to suffer the calls for copy of an outrageous foreman, or to collide our inky pen against 'em. To think, to write, and thus to end the heartache, and the many unnatural shocks that silver o'er the hair, too, is a consummation most sanctimoniously to be wished. To write; to lie—back in our old armchair; to doze perchance to dream of lucky numbers in "My Policy"—ay that's the ticket; for in that easy "4-11-41" may come ere we have scribbled off a ream or two of copy. Let us pause and reflcct. There's the respect we feel for types : 'tis a calamity when long waita in working hours ensue, to rob the jours of their fat takes; for who can bear the squibs and the scorns of waiting printers; the foreman's cries; the devil's sneers —those pangs of hell; the insolence of the whole office, whose every tongue shouts out aloud—"the chief's played out—to time he cannot cotne." and mijch more than tho patient editor of the unworthy takes, when he himself might peace terms make with a bare baCl pen.— Who would boar to thick and write a wcory life away in the sanctum, but for the dread otnothing coming in hercaltcr, when the paper's out— the undiscovered countryman from whose purse no ten cent stamp come forth to pay us for our trouble. Tis this that makes us think, invent and trace these lines, to keep the patrons that wo have, rather than-see them take some onehorse sheet, and, from its reading, die. Thus iinpecuniosity makes cowards of us all, and landlords stand a head and shoulder o'ur tho ed's posish. Thus our firm resolvo to lay back and let others do the work, becomes afflicted by the bowel complaint, as we cast the paje thought over in our mind ; artd dramatic enterprise of the moment turn other thoughts away, and urge u« on to action.

The morning tDrcnk«, hut morning brings no j y to me; Alas! my spirit only wakes To know that I am far from thee. In dreams I saw thy blessed face. And thou wert nestled on mv breast; In dreams I felt the warm embrace. And to mine own heart was pressed. —"She's just the most particular body you ever saw. She turned me away only because Igpilled a little oil ; but I wouldn't stay if I could." Just then the door opened, and the girls separated, one to look for a new situation, the other with many forebodings to commence service.— Tho parlor door was partly open as Mary'entered the hall, and she overheard the lady of the house exclaim '-If it wasn't for servant girls I might have some eomlort, I do believe they *ro all olike!" The poor girl's heart sunk within her, but she immediately resolved that she would try and prove that one at least could be faithful. During the morning she was sent up stairs to sweep a room. In moving the furniture she overset a small bottle which had been carelessly left near the edge of a table; it fell to the floor, broke, and spilled some ink on the carpet. She stood aghast. What could she do? She hastily gathered up the pieces, threw them out of the window, whiped up the ink, and then stopped to think. "She won't see it very sooni and when she does she may think it was the other girl," was the first thought. "But you did it, and you ought to tell her of it," whispered conscience. "I'm sure she'll me away what Bhall I do?" "Go and telljicr; you can't help tho stain on the carpet, but you can keep the stain of a lie from your soul." said conscience. ' Yes, and I will," said Mary aloud, and without stopping to think further, she went to seek the lady whom she met coming upstairs and to whom she related tho accident. "I believe I you Mary," the reply so kindly made, that the girl could not keep back her tears.
