The Orator and the Newspn per.

Compare the orator, one Of the noblest vehi
ces for the diffusion ofthought, with the news
paper, and we may gain fatal glimpse of the
ubiquitous power Of the latter The orator
speaks to few hundreds ; the newspaper ad-
dresses millions. The words Of the orator may
die on the air the language of the newspaper
is stamped upon tables impershable. The.ar-
gumen;s Of the orator may follow each other
so rapidly, that majority Of the audience may
struggle in nest of ratiocinalion the rea'on-
ings of the newspaper may be scanned at lei
sure without the danger of perplexity. The
passion of the orator inhames the assembly !;
the feeling Of a newspaper electrifes conti-
nent The orator is for ediice the newspa-
per for the world the one shines for an hour;
the other for all time. The orator may Be
compared to the lightning, which flashes over
valley for moment, but leaves it again in
darkness; the newspaper to a sun, blazing
steadily over a whole earth, and on the basis o
its own eternity
Printing has happily been defined the cart
preservalive Of all arts" Printing makes The
orator more than an orator. 1t catches up his
his dying words and breathes into them the
breath of life. 1t is the speaking gallery thro'
which the orator thunders in the ears of ages.
He leans from the tomb over The cradle of the
rising generations. RWlam VILLAGE.

The fire in the hut of the wreckcr
CLEANS out through the darkness of night,
From the hut where the drift-wood upblazcs,
And tho children sit round in the light
Now, grandfather Eric, u story"'
The children all echo in glcc
"Tcll the tale you once told of the viking,
And the drift wood he cast in the sea-"
"Thcrc was once, o my children, in Norway,
\ viking who looscd from the strand,
Bearing with him, in anger, the door-posts
OF the temple of Thor from the land.
And when he lost sight of the mountains,
lie threw out the posts on the sen,
And said, Il will follow this drift-wood
Wherever It's guiding shall be-
Thns on, day and night, sailed tho viking,
While his raven few high on the mast
Till one morn, on the far shore Of Iceland,
The door-posts upaoated at last,
And there he again reared the pillars
OF tho temple of Thor on the strand,
And there, when in time came his people,
lie long ruled in peace DER the land
And thus in our manhood my children,
We launch forth our hopes on lifc's tde
And follow them daringly onward,
How widely soccer they may guide.
And perchance they may lead as to honor,
Or perchancc they may falsely invite
Where at least we lie stranded and shattered
Like the drift-wood we sit by tonight"
