1t Is not everybody, even among able
ana practlSed authors, that can write an
interesting and agreeable newspaper ar
tlele. There is plenty of room in a book
TO enlarge upon the subject in hand.
Fifty pages, more or less, are of no conse-
quence. But the columns of a newspaper
are inexorable. Within certain limits
that cannot be expanded, the editor or
contributor must say his say. 1t is reoui-

dense ms thoughts, and this power of
compressor Is somewhat rare. There Is
room for large amount of thought in
half columb. Revolutions have been
initiated in that space. Much eIoouenoe
may be contained in a few paragraphs: for
eloluence-true eloquence-does not con-
slst merely in sonorous periods and link
ed sweetness long drawn out" Ii is full
OF plth, nervous, concise. Flowery talk
Is not eloquence. The man who expects
to make his mark in newspaper literature
should be well-read, a good casuist. keen
OF perception, humorist, of sound iude-
ment, and largely endowed with that IN
dehnable faculty, or rather instinct. called
tact. He should be able to produce such
articles as scholars can relish and the nm
appreciate and enjoy. Then he
must write clearly for the newspaper is
not thing to be studied out, but to be
understood at once. Every article should
be SO lucid that those who run may not
only read but comprehend. He should
write pleasantly, too, so as to amuse as
we'll as instruct; except when he has
some fagrant wrong to denounee, some
william to soathe. IHen he should lay on
the lash with an emphasis, that will make
the honest readers heart cry, Amen and
Amenp He must be original, too Stilt-
ed common place, abominable anywhere,
S most detestable in the sheet that one
depends upon to enliven dull hour.
A sparkling newspaper article is delight
