COMPOSITION.

A writing is a useful exercise, and many
! who engage in it have numerous difficulties to
encOuDter, perhaps few remarks will direct
attention to the subject. Some attempt 10
write fnr publication without duly considering
the nature Of the undertaking. otherwise they
| would be more diffident about protruding
their productions upon the public. The fac
nlty of welding the pen is surely very i'm
proyable one. and ;'ariiclla attention should
he given thereto by every one who wishes to
do good in this way. II is, We suppose, in
this as in most other things. that practice
makes perfect but it must be the right KIDD
of practice. Skill in the use Of the pen is
not acquired by writing much. but writing
with care. Some ideas on this subject follow.
!. He who would be good writer. must
obtain a good stock If general knowledge.
No man'y actual experience can he very ex-
tensive, and however great may be his native
powers Of mind. he must acquainf himself
with the views and feelings OF others, to he u
useful and interesting writer. Als "'r''"
Q. His mind must be well disciplined. He
| who would write well must think well. Some
men read much and with care they possess
! extensive information bat they cannot use
their knowledge to advantage--it exists 10 a
confused state. and they are unable to ayai
themselves Of it when necessary. The rea-
son 10, they do not think enough. They should
by persevering and patient labor, attain such
. state Of mental discipline. that their thoughts
will dow 10 order 90 any proper subject to
v hich they give attention. BY this habit OF
close thinking they " III make the knowledge

the fault is not ours. The papers are carefully

this kind are common in all parts of the U.

Judge Mclean was driven from the Post of.

continue as long as Kendall, Van Buren, and
company are entrusted by the people with the
reins of Government. 1t is said that the Post

the transmission Of papers by mail, is in the
habit of replying that it is for the letter mails.
