Pitching In"

The greatest Of all nussnces, to a re
specialize editor, are these small minded
gentry who believe that the mission of \
journal is not 10 disseminate news, and
aid buyers and sellers 10y advertisements,
but 10 be perpetuaIy pitching in to this
subject or that subject more generally
into This or that individual. Such char.
"cters are generally very loud and taka-
tive specimens Of the genus irritable,
prone TO hint that they could carry on a
Journal with all its difficult details much
better than anybody else in the country
that they would stir up things and that
their firm belief Is, that all n paper needs
is pepper to make il excellent. We can
imagine, AS we write. that we even no
hear the familiar accents: Now / lust
want you ~ write an article arI give ~
and SO tils'-for men Of this description
are generally gifted with degree OF as
surance which respects no duty or dignity
and suffers the possessor to believe tina,
his miserable fances will actually receive
consideration. And yet 20 can say with
truth that we never met with one OF these
advocates Tor Ind'scriminate pepper and
abuse who would not wrilhe with agony
Al the fnInlest aliusions To himself in typt
which fell short Of haltery, or who was
not in fact n coward.
Men who put faith in abuse as a nee
essary element in journalism, who take nc
interest in articles Which are not in som,
way personal. and who relish no fun,
unless its cuts, are invariably vulgar anc
selfish, just in proportion to the degree il
which such tastes prevail with them.

Spare Moments.

All great or successful men learned to
take good care Of spare moments, the
little fragments Of time so easily wasted,
and which though,less persons imagine
are of small value. Literary men have
written some Of their most valuable works
IN these spare moments, and scholars have
used them to good purpose in making
large acquisitions. Mrs. Knight has some
pertinent remarks un this point
A lean awkward boy came TO the door
of principal OF a celebrated school, one
morning, and asked to see him. The
serVent eyed his mean cloths, and think
ing he looked more like beggar than
anything else, told him to 90 round to
the kitchen. The bov old as he was bid.
den, and soon appeared at the back
door.
Il should like to see Mr.. -" said
be.
You want breakfast, more like said
the servant girl, 'and | can give you that
without troubling HIM
THANK you,' said the boy; Il should
like to see Mr.. -, If he can see me-
Some old cloths may be you want re.
marked the servant, again eyelng the
boys patched cloths. 4 guess he has
none to spare-he gives away II sight,
And without minding the boys request,
the servant went about her work.
Can | zee Mr.. - again asked
the boy, after finishing his bread and
butter.
WELL lie is in the library; if he mast
be disturbed he must. lie does like to
be alone sometimes said the girl, in n
peevish tone.
She seemed to think it verv foolish to
take such boy into her masters pres.
ence. However, she wiped her hands,
and bade him follow.
Opening the library door, she said,
Here's somebody who is dreadful anxi-
Gus to see you, and so let him in'
don't know how the boy Introduced
himself, or how he opened the business,
bat | know that after talking a while the
principal put aside the volume he WAS
studying and took up some Greek books,
and began to examine the new corner
Every question the principal asked the
boy, WAS answered rs readily MS could he.
Upon my word exclaimed the prncl-
PAL you do VEL looking at the boy
from head to foot over his spcetac!Gs.-
why, my boy, where did you pick up
so much 2
I'm my spare naoments,' answered the
boy. lie WAS poor, hard-working boy,
with few opportunities for schooling. yet
almost fitted for college simply improv-
ing his spare moments. Truly are spare
moments the gold dust OF time How
precious they should be What account
can you give Of your spare moments =
What can you show for them Look
and see. This boy can tell you how very
much can be laid up by improving them;
and there are many. very many other
boys, am afraid, in the gambling house
in the lipping.shop, who, If You were to
ask them where they began their sinful
courses, might answer, IN my spare mo-
mentS.'
., be very careful how you spend your
spare moments ! The tempter always
hunts you out in small seasons like these :
when you are not busy, he gets into your
hearts, il he possibly can, in just such
gaps. There he hides himself, planning
all sorts Of mischief. Take care of your
spare moments
