of the character of the adulterer and
with repeated warnings Of his Grim

her way. This man, who is accused
by the press Of his own city of being

himself been often guilty Of the very

A MYSTERY.

Among the mysteries of life is the
difference in the punishment which
society awards to male and female
sinners. A notable illustration OF this
was exhibited in the finale Of the trag-
ic scene at Washington. The man
who sacrificed a wretched woman at
the shrine of sensuality, is followed
to his grave by a grand procession,
and his magnificent coffin decorated
with garlands. In the cold hand of
the auditor are placed flowers, emble.
matte Of innocence and purity. The
female partner OF his crime is univer-
sally deserted and despised, and, il
she should die tomorrow, would prob

SELECTIONS FOR A NEWSPAPER.
Most people think the selection of
suitable matter for newspaper the
easiest part Of the business. How
great an error. 1t is by all means the
most difficult. 10 look over hundreds
of exchange papers every week, from
which to select enough for one, espe-
cially when the question is not what
shall, but what shall not be selected,
is no easy task. If every person who
reads newspaper, could have edited
it,, we would hear less complaints.
Not untrequently is it the case that
an editor looks over all his exchange
papers for something intere sting. and
can absolutely find nothing. Every
paper is dryer than a contribution
box; and yet something must be had
his paper must come out with some
thing in it, and he does the best he
can.
To an editor that has the least
care about what he selects, the wri-
ting he bas to do is the easiest part
ofthe labor. Every subscriber thinks
the paper is printed for his own bene-
fit, and if there is nothing in it that
suits him, it must be stopped-it is
good for nothing. Just so many sub
scribers as an editor may have, so
n any tastes he has to consult. One
wants something smart, another some
thing sound. One likes anec dotes,
fun and frolic, and another wonders
that man Of sense will put such ar
ticles in his paper.
And so, between them all, you see,
the, poor fellow gets roughly handled.
And yet to ninety nine out of u hum
dred, those things do occur. They
never reflect that what does not
please this, may please the next man,
but they insist that if the paper does
not suit him it is good for nothing.
