SELECTIONS FOR A NEWS
~ i5 PAPER.

Most people think the selection of suit
able matter for a newspaper the easiest
part of the business. How great an err
ror! It is, by all means, the most diff
cult To look over and over hundreds of
exchange papers every week from which
to select enough for one, especially when
the question is not what shall, but what
shall OF be selected, is no easy task. Il
every person who reads y papercould have
edited it, we should hear less complaint.
Not unfrequently it is tho case that an cd
'itor looks over all his exchange papers for
something interesting, 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 something in it, and he does the bost
he can. To an editor who has the le st
caro about what he selects, the writing
that he has to do is the easiest part of the
labor. Every subscriber thinks the paper
is printed for his own benefit; and if there
is moth NC in it that suits him, it must be
stopped-it is good for nothing. Just as
rnany subscribers as an editor may have,
SO many tastes he has to consult. One
wants something sound. One likes anec-
dotes, fun and frolic; and the next door
neighbor wonders that man of good
sense will put such stuff in paper
Something spicy comes out, and the edi-
tor is blaekguard next comes something
argumentatiye, and the editor is q dull
fool. And so, between them all, YOU sec
the poor fellow gets roughly bandled.-
They never think that what does not please
them may please the next man; but they
insist, if the paper does not suit them it is
good for nothing.

FLAME

f.. ~
| Flame is one of most beautiful things
in the world Not sunset sky in SUM
mer; not ul,-blown flower, is more bril-
liant than flame. Flame is the fowsr OF
| fire, and what can exceed the grace with
which it flows out into the air? How
lightly, like crimson-plimaged bid, does
| it lift itself from its eyrie of fagots; what
q gergeousncss of coloring there is; what
a delicacy in the little spires, as they bend
hitler and thithcr, ike the necks of so
n any timid Orioles IN. tl'ss-s>on.

To gaze once more on hill. and dell.
To mark how many sheayes they bind,

have no gl~ry like that which wreathcs
them when they heap the winters fire
The ivy has no splendor like the mantling
flame; it reddens like the thyrsus Of the
god.
We like % think of the ruddy surf that
used to beat upon the chimney's blacken-
ed wall of old of the forests that went up
on wings of fire; of the loving eyes that
glittered in the light; a ring of beauty
round the Furnished hearth; the hearth
worn smooth by touch Of kindred feet.
We do not wonder that the clock-fa
Frightened, almost as if it had a pleasant
thought, in III tkitchen-bounded freight.
How much farther we could see into one
another's hearts by freight Not the
blaze Of chandeliers, nor the clear noon
sun could so shine the hidden sentiment
in sight, even as the star beam kiudles the
dew-drop in the dark. And how boldly
the wolds would venture out, in the warm
and changeful beam of tho old fashioned
fire; how hand stole softly into hand, as
the beech and maple fell apart into thou
sand rubies, and the narrow-waisted clock
is hands, in blessing, even to the XII.
How passing brave those twilights made
us all
And how far and clear they lighted up
tho Past; how they kindled the trinkets OF
memory into the very jcwelry of the soul.
Better than moonlight were they, to dis
close the yesterdays and awake the dead.
Those fires were not made because we
had winters, but the winters were created
lust that we might have fires; to give us
some excuse for building q temple of flame
every day, and worshiping around it es-
cry night; some reason for drawing n'cr
each other; we, whom the summer wealth

The tree did not seem to us altogether
dead, though the woodman had not spar
ed it, and it ay q leafiess and limbless
log upon the hearth. Morning never kin
died it into such glory, rs then it wore;
it was too glad thing to be dumb and
dead; we counted it when we numbered

THE MINIATURE.

William was holding in his hand
The likeness of his wife!
Fresh, as if touched by fairy wand,
With beauty. grace, and life.
He almost thought it spoks;-he gazed
Upon the bauble still,
Absorbed, delighted, and amazed.
To view the artists skill.
This picture is yourself, dear Jane
IT'S drawn to nature true:
I've kissed it Ger and DER again,

IT'S not at all like me!

A CHAPTER IN HUMAN Ma
TCRE.

). At point on this side of the noun
tains in Pennsylvania, where occurred the
transhipment Of passengers from the west,
was noored canal boat, waiting for the
arrival of the train before starting Oh their
way through to the east. The captain
of the boat-a tall and sunbrowned,
rough, and sometimes profane man
stood by his craft, experimenting the Ia
bors of his rlen, when the cars came in,
and dozen minutes after party of half
a dozen gentlemen came along, and DELHI
erstely walked up to the captain, and
thus addressed him: Sir, we wish to
go east, but our further progress to-day
depends upon you. In the cars we have
just left, there is sick man, whose pres
cnce is disagreeablc. We have been an
pointed a committee by the passengers to
ask that You will deny this man passage
on your boat. If he goes, we remain
What say you!'
By this time the others had come from
the cars. Gentlemen said the captain,
| have heard the passengers through your
committee. Has the sick man any repre-
sentativcs here? I wish to hear both
sides Of the question:
TO this unexpected interroeatory there
was no answer; when, without a moments
pause. the captain crossed to the car, and
entering, beheld poor, emaciated, worn
out creature, whose life was nearly eaten
up by the fell destroyer, consumption
The mans head was bowed in his hands.
and he was weeping. The captain ad-
vanced and spoke kindly to him.
'Oh, sirr said the trembling invalid,
looking up, his face now lit with hope and
expectation, are you the captain, and will
you take me? The passengers slun me
and are so unkind. You see, sir, l ain
dying; but oh, if can li,e to s:e my
mother, shall die happy. She lives al
Burlington, sir, and my journey is more
than half performed. am poor prin-
ter, and the only child of her in whose
arms I would wish to die
you shall CO. said the bluff captain
with an oath, 'if lose every passenger fol
the trip
By this time the whole crowd of impa.
tent passengers were grouped aroand the
boat, with their baggage piled on the
towpath, and they themselves awaiting
the decision of the captain before engag.
ing their passage. A moment more and
that decision WAS made known, as they
beheld him come from the cars with the
sick man Graded in his strong arms
Pushing directly through the crowd with
his dying burden, he ordered mattres:
to be laid in the choicest part of the cabin
ulere he laid the invalid with oil the care

cast look at the astonished crowd along
side, he shouted loudly to bis hands:

And little children cheap, for cash;
All waiting, waiting-to be sold

Comes al the bidding of my will;
For them, the shadows Of the grave
Have gathered, or the woes that fill
The lifelong bondage of the slave.
Too long my thoughts were schooled to see
Some pretext for such fatal tlirall;
Now Reaso4 spurns each narrow plea,
One thrill of manhood cancels all,
One throb of pity sets me free.
