REVOLUTION IN JOURNALISM. The New York
Tribune under the head Of '' revolution in
journalism notices two new inventions. First,
the manufacture Of fine paper from stra,e in
stead of rags, by Mr.. Mellier, French chemist;
and second, an improvement in presses by citi-
zen of New York. 1t says.
1t is a printing press, which, at moderate
rate of speed, will deliver thirty thousand y
sheets printed on both sides in a single hour!
Its movement combines the original principles
OF Napier, which are applied by Hoe in his
great press, with some new and beautifully
simple arrangement and devices of the inventor.

- The pressure Of travel on our principal
thoroughfares is prodigious. Steamboats, and
railroad cars are crowded to excess. 1t seems
rs if every body was the move. Between
New Haven and this city, which is not our

accord toward the door opened on a narrow
esplanade, lying between the towers of the

with loaded muskets, awaited him there
The narrow space did not permit them to
stand a sufficient distance to deprive death of
part of its horror. Murati in stepping over
the threshold of his chamber, found himself
face to face with them. He refused to let
his eyes be bandaged; and looking at the
soldiers, with firm and benevolent smile.

space naturally compels you almost to rest

spoke thus, he placed his right hand upon

In his left hand he held small medallion,

NEWSPAPER BY-LAws-A contcmfora-
ry lays down the following pithy code of
newspaper BYLAWS. They are the best we
have seen drawn up: l. Bc brief. This
is the age of telegraphs and stenography.-
3 BE pointed Don't write all around q
a subject without hitting it. 3. State facts,
but don't stop to moralze. It's drcwsy
subject Let the reader do his own dream
ing. 4. Esehew prefaces Plunge a. once
into your subject, like swimmer into cold
water. 5. If you have written sentence
that you think particularly fine, draw your
pen through it. A PC. child is always the
worst in family. 6. Con2ense. Make
sure that you really have an idea, and then
record it in the shortest possible terms. We
want thoughts in their quintescence. z.
When your article is completed, strike cut
nine-tenths Of the adjectives. The English
is strong language, but won't bear much
reducing. 6. Avoid all high-fown Ian
grage. The plainest AngloSaxon words
are the best Never use stills when legs
will DO as well. 8. Make your sentences
short. Every period is a milestone, at
which the reader may halt and rest himself.
TO- Write legibly. Don't Jet your manu-
script look like the tracks Of a spider half
drowned in ink We shan't mistake any
one for genins though lie writes Is crab
bedly as Napoleon.

With naught but the sky above my head,
And the shadowing clouds that pass,
And | want the bright, bright sunshine
All around about my head,
III close nay eyes, and God will think

And take me up to him,
He will bear me slow and steadily
Far through the ether dim;
He will gently, gently lay me
Close to the Saviour side.
And when I'm sure that Pm in heaven
My eyes I'll open wide.
And I'll look among the angels
That stand around the throne,
Till find my sister Mary,
For | know she must be one.
And when find her, mother,
We will 90 away alone,
| will tell her how we mourned for her
All the while that she has been gone.
OH shall be delighted
To hear her speak again,
Tho | know she Il he er return to US,
To ask her would be vain.
And I'll throw my arms around her,
And look into her eyes,
I'll remember all say to her,
And all her sweet replies.
And then I'll ask the angel
To take ME back to you,
He will bear me slow and steadily,
Down through the azure blue,
And you'll only think dear mother,
That have been out to play,
And gone to sleep beneath tree
This sultry, summer day.
