Newspaper Mortality.


| There is regular mortality prevailing
among newspapers. Almost every mail
brings news of the death of some one
The cholera is not more fatal in COM
munity than /" hard times" among prin-
ters. An exchange says, that so far as
it has noticed, not one paper in ten sur
wives the second year. Perhaps this NOR
tality is overstated, though we would not
like to dispute the assertion. More money
has been lost in printing offices than in
any other business requiring the same
labor and outlay of capital. The reason
is obvious to those who are familiar with
the manner in which newspapers are star
ted, though others may look on in won
der that so many live hardly long enough
to proclaim their birth.
Some little town wants to be blown
into notoriety; a subscription of few
hundred dollars is made up, and some-
body is deluded by fair promises to start
a newspaper. Probably one-half the
subscription is never paid; the fair prom
ises are remembered only to be broken.
Necessity or pride keeps the publisher at
work until his money Gf he had any) is
exhausted, and his credit is utterly gone.
Then comes the natural result-tAe paper
stops, with debts owed and owing, enough,
1t may be, to balance, but neither paid,
and general growl comes up against
the swindling printer.
Another frequent cause of the estab-
llshment OF new paper is that some
clique of politicians or local interests be-
comes dissatisfied with the one already
established. An independent" paper is
wanted, which means that the editors
shall say and do just what the disaffec-
tants shall dictate. The same process as
IS witnessed in the ambitious little town
IS adopted and the result is the same.
Printing, as a business, is like any
other business. There must be a de-
nand as we'll as a supply. A newspa-
per must be self-sustaining gratuities
lestroy its independence or, as the organ
If clique 1t prfeits its claims to the
'ablic confidence.

A Printers Christmas.

The editor of the Sandy Hill Herald
says that on Christmas Eve an express
man delivered to him an exceedingly
mysterious box. After paying the char
ges-2S eents-being just the amount ol
money he had by him-he proceeded
with nervous hands to examine its con-
tents. He says: 1.-The cover is remov-
ed, when our eyes were gladdened with
the sight Of fms fat turkey. The next
thing brought to light was bottle of
champagne and the next and last was
a huge demVohn, marked 20 Tar

a resolution declaring, in the most en-
phatiG terms, that it wasn't tar. Tasted
again and then entered the resolution
among the regular proceedings to make
ii sure it want tar Tasted again and
felt very happy. Tasted again and soon
became very rich, and resolved to give

holds in creation. And now all can eas.
lily see the necessity for schools Of high
rank. Teaching to think, observe, com.
pare, draw inferences, apply principles,
and use language with ease, precision,
and elegance, and doing this teaching
upon comprehensive and well digested
plan, is a rare thing in our country
Word teaching has heen, and is, the curse
of our schools. We see its conseuuen-
ces all around us. There is an aversion
to subjects and study, on the part of the

generally a source of pleasure to the

Faency of Speech'-The common flu
ency of speech in men and women is ow-
ing to scarcity of words; for whoever
is master Of language, and hath mind
full of ideas, will be apt, in speaking. to
hesitate upon the choice of both; wheare-
as. common speakers have only one set
ofideas, and one set of words to clothe
in, and those are always ready; so peo-
pie come faster out of church when it is

A MEMORY.
BY GEORGE ID. PRENTICE.

know a fair young girl,
With a spirit light and free
As the birds that fit o'ar the dimpl,ng wave
Then away to the wild wood flee;
And she seems like wreath Of mist
As she moves through the summer bowers
With step too tloatingly soft to break
The sleep of the dreaming flowers.
Her eye is bright and clear
As the depths of a shaded spring,
And beauty's name ON her brow is set
On her check its signet-ring,
And her voice is like the sound
OF a wave through the twilight leaves,
Or a Peri's tones from a moonlight cloud
In the hush Of summer ewes.
Along her temples pale
The blue VEINS seem to flow
In their winding course, half seen, half hid,
Like streams in field of suow
And her shining tresses there
Their beautiful light unfold, N-
Like painted cloud where the sunset lifts
Its shadowy wings of gold.
To me each thought of her
Is CLEAN Of light and love,
A gentle dream sent down to earth
From the only depths above
vris blessed sunbeam. cast
On atflicton's cloud Of tears,
