bedroom LITERATURE.-That sarcastic wit
Douglas Jerrold once spoke of the blood-and-thun
der style of literary composition as "writng in the
yugutdr vein, "a happy hit, which would make
the fortune Of n small satrist. But there is new
manner OF writing which has wanted fitting
name, till good one was lately suggested by an
English editor. The kind Of composition to which
we allude is characterized not much by the sub
jects ms the mode of treatment, and is known by
the very familiar, unctous and prurient manner in
which the writer discourses of husbands, wives,
babies and nuptial and nursery matters in general.
The English editor, speaking of popular lady
contributor to certain popular weekly newspaper
of Gotham, soys-"She is the NEST indecent writer

. STOP NY PAPER. >

The first paper we issued, after entering
upon our editorial duties, gave ofense, ana
four lordly liquor sellers walked up and said
Stop my paper two weeks afterwards we
refused 70 advertise for theater, but gave
it gratuitous editorial, calling it anything
buta very decent place, whereupon two
more Numbered, ''Stopmy paper, and from
that day 10 this, VIC have been tramping on
somebody toes, and every once in while
we hear: stop my paper" as if the loss OF
the patronage of man who wants us to ed
it a paper to his notion is anything terrible.
We own our paper, and edit it to suit our
own taste, and we want only those to take it
who think it worth what it costs We ask
no man to take it merely to support it, nor
to think he eonfers special favor upon us in
so doing. We intend to publish a paper
worth two dollars year, and those who
want TO buy it at that because il is worth
the money, can have it, but those who think
they buy right to say what we shall or
what we shall not put in it, have mistaken
their man, that's all eL
In the narration Of facts We intend TO
publish them as we understand them, and
when we wish to give On opinion we shall
dose without stopping to inquire whether
the opinion is popular or unpopular, and il
any body takes pepper in his nose, why, let
him sneeze; he will feel better after it
Meanwhile, we do not profess to be infal-
lible. We may be misled as to facts, and
be in error as 70 opinion. but we are always
willing to be corrected in either, and dojus-
ice to any one whom we have wronged--
But the man who thinks TO deter US by
threats Of withdrawal Of his patronage, is
mistaken. When it becomes necessary for
| Us to consult this or that man, we shall re-
/, tire from the editorial chair TO wood pile,
where we can make an honest and an
honorable living by saving wood, without
being any man slave. We shall make out
IS list some Of these days, Of the lordlymen
who abuse us because they can not use us,
