A BROAD HINT. 


The following little article (says the Aurora) is so judicious, so good humoured, and so 
rtinent, that possibly there isnot an editor on the continent who would not adopt it 
as his own, and applicable to his own case :— 


TO SUBSCRIBERS. 


The soldier has his furlough and his times of respite—the mechanic his days 
of recreation—the merchant his period of relaxation—but the Editor is a sentinel 
who must never sleep; to unbend is to undo himself. Well he may say with 
the poet—- 


“*E’en Sunpay shines no holiday to me.” 


His toil though not of a bodily, is of a more oppressive and destructive 
kind —the toil of the brain. His constitution (we appeal to brother editors for 
the truth of what we say) is frequently the sacrifice of his labours. And what 
is his recompence ? often penury---seldom affluence. Like the poor player, who, 
from the elieering of his audience, looks for an overflowing benefit; so the prin- 
ter has to feed himself with the present praise, and future anticipations. There 
was a time when printing and printers were held in just estimation, when in- 
tellect superceded wealth, and industry received its reward. Need we say that 
time has passed! Could a printer strike sustenance from his head, as Vulcan 
struck Pallas from the head of Jove, then indeed, it would be folly in him to 
complain: but such miracles are not to be worked now adays. Or could his 
Inok convert stones into flesh, as the head of Medusa did flesh into stone, he 
might do tolerably well. 

But printers unfortunately for themselves, are no magicians, although they 
deal in an art whieh has eharmed mankind. They lave much head work to 
perform ; but their teeth require to be occupied also. Indeed with some, the 
occupation of teeth is the main object. And, to confess the truth, it forms a 
part of our ambition also, otherwise we should not now be writing this paragraph. 
Possibly our readers may approve the saw, “the leaner the dog, the keener 
the scent ;” but we, like Sancho, relish much better that which says, “a full 
stomach makes a contented mind.” 

In plain terms, we think ourselves full as competent to sign a receipt, as write 
a paragraph. And we would thank those who wish us to perform the latter, te 
frst call and take with them a specimen, of the former; for, like what the fed- 
eralists used to say of Buonaparte, we “ WANT MONEY AND MUST HAVE IT.”
