THE NEWSPAPER AND THE
READER.

The following suggestions we extract
from the address of Samuel Williams before
the Convention of the New York State As.
sociated Press, at Buffalo, last week:
Don't make your paper literary Col.
gotha Don't crowd your columns with &C.
counts of assasinations, and rapes, and ar
son, and embezzlements-as if mankind
were doing nothing except committing as
sassinations, and rapes, and embezzlements.
Don't always betelliug the world how wick
ed it is. Try and say something good Of
somebody. Try and find something to
praise. Let your sobbing cloud have the
veriest bit of silver lining. Give US now
and then glimpse of the relief side Of your
sombre picture. Tell US now and then of
the thousand good deeds done in secret; Of
the philanthropy that is uuheralded of
fame; ofthe charities uurecorded except in
Heaven; of the virtue that blooms unseen !;
Of the horizon that enobles life of the faith
that lifts humanity up to God. Tell US Of
the sublime endeavors unacbieved; of the
lofty aspirations unful6!led; of the unself-
ish purposes that nestle in human hearts.
The newspaper needs, too, to become
more independent. 1t wants to be lifted
up without the sphere Of popular passions,
and beyond the reach of partizan dictation
To round out fully its mission, it must be
free. To be free, it must be directly re-
sponsible only to the mind that controls it.
And first, it must be freed from the worst
of tyranny-the tyranny of subscribers
You have all seen this tyranny, gentlemen
seen it in your own experieuce-seen it
in that of your neighbors. Heaven help
the poor editor that has delivered himself
up to the hydra headed diabolus of regular
subscribers. can imagine no fate more
dreadful. 1 should think that being roast.
cd over slow fire, being broken on the
wheel, or being manipulated by thumb
screw, or having ones bowels probed with
a red hot poker, would quite cheerful and
hilarious an entertainment, compared with
being daily spitted by ones patrons.
My friend Jones is good specimen of
the more malignant type of the regular
subscriber Jones is inefably stupid and
expressibly egotistic. He has moreover,
the misfortune to be afflicted with chronic
grievance. Somebody is always treading
on his corns; somebody is always getting up
conspiracy to destroy him somebody is al
ways committing some horrid outrage on this
most long suffering and ill-used of men.
Jones, being subscriber to the paper
with which l have the honor to be connect
ed, accounts me as his exclusive property.
He looks on me as being, body and soul,
his personal chattel. He regards me as
sort of embodied 'S2a year'-payable when
you please. VAST not virtually stipulated,
when he concluded to take my paper, that
| should be thrown in as make-weight!
Am 1 not consequently expected to resign
myselfto his custody-to fight his battles

to give it wider and nobler field of action
to make it more effective minister of ra-

emphatically the mirror Of the times-to

the school.master Of the age i let us see to
it that the lessons its teaches shall make
men purer as well as wiser-shall lead them
