NEWSPAPERS,

II seems that newspaper wares are
made to suit the ikel as much as any
othe.. The idlers, the wonderers, and
the eapers engrose very large share Of
the attention of the coadasMs Of the
public. press.
Il is notorious that the pubSS mind
will no, remain satisfied unless yne-
thing really Ioahs me nr slocGIy is
served up in our daily and week'SFa-
pers.
In fact a newspaper IS now pronouh\
ced to be a very dull and slearn affair, if
il contains no accoun. of murders, sui-
cides. prodigies, or monstrous frauds.
Such is ihe demand for this kind IF
news, that occurrences the most trivhI
are made to appear as reasonable.
tho Imagination Of some knights OF the

fac,ure gu, of whole cloth tales Of horror
and bloodshed. SO eager arc They I"
minister to this deprav%d taste that they
are never at ease. unless forsooth, !he!y
are chsonicling some lawful accident"
some startling runner, which they are
anxious 10 scatter broadcast throug b the
land. =
Some OF these miserable articles in oul
papers excite wondor, some terror, and
some horror and disgust. Is there any
instructions in these tales? Is any ont
wiser or happier for reading such ac
counts? Ga the Contrary, do they mo-
