Newspaper C0mpOsitiOR.-This is a distinct
and difficult art. Its principles must be some
what carefully studied by those who would sue
coed in it. The disregard of these principles
is the cause ofthe prosiness which characteri-
yes so much of our newspaper literature. The
newspapers is not a thing to be studied
s1arnalp ono to ha raAA-- 1t Is not to be glanced
over. The articles, then must be so witten as
to attract and hold attention. Processes of
thought and reasoning are to be shut out; results
only are to appear. Argument isto be suggested
rather than stated. Usually one point is enough
for an article. Some single nail should be
struck fair upon the head, aud then left at once,
Introductions are nuisance. lnterferen ces
are always skipped The sentences should be
short. Every word should leap with life. Con-
densation should be extreme. Subordinate
thoughts should be thrown away. The object
is not to treat subject in full, but produce a
certain effect. All that is not necessary to the
effect should be discarded. He who has the
nerve to do this, with a soul that fires with
great thought, and the manliness to utter it
freeyrmay WELD power with the pen which no
sceptre can rival.
The tendencies in professional life are deter
rioration of style. The constant didactism of
the pulpit often degenerates diffuseness. The
reiteratiOn of points at the bar, and precision of
legafstyle tend to produce dryness and repeti-
ton. In no way can the professional man
more effectively make his word instinct with life
and power, than by weekly practice in the col
umns of a newspaper.- Examiner.

PRINCE ALBERT.-The London Daily News
gives prominency in its columns to communi-
cation headed: painful rumors about Prince
Albert" The writer says that the impression,
the suspicion, the persuasion, the apprehension,
or the beIief--for it takes variety of forms
that the Prince Consort has recently trespassed
into the bonds of political affairs, is now so gen
eral that it is impossible any longer TO contine
it to conversation. $50 where you will, into
good or bad society among rich or poor, the feel
ing or the fear that it is the court and not the
responsible ministers of the crown, who are CIV
Of England, IS now a topic of conversation
People cannot get rid Of an apprehension that
something is going wrong to this the highest
quarter of the State; confidence in the Prince
is giving way; and Instead or popularity, resent
ment seems to me very likely to take possession
of the public mind, Nor is it in political
affairs only that his royal highness is accused
of meddHng and .marring, In the army, also,
he is said to be interfering; and the recent
scandal at the Horse Guards are openly and
loudly a5cribed to him" The writer proceeds
to argue that the Coburg family, now 50 con-
stantly visiting the British Court, are thorough
ly Russian in their associations; that Palmer
son resigned because the court influence was
against him; and that Lord Aberdeen is in the
Cabinet for the sole reason that he represents
the Prince Consort's views of foreign policy.
