NEWSPAPER WRIiISG Every body thinks it
is an easy matter to write for a newspaper
Aud yet few have excelled in the sort OF o0mpO-
eition required by the daily or weekly press
Even clever magaznists have failed here, and
none have made worse work with " editorials"
than a. le historians and elegant essayists-rS-
oept fiue orators aud brilliant deoaters. Ihe
London Examiner has handled this topic with
ability in the following paragrap ls -" News
paper composition is distinct and difficult art.
It's principles must be somewhat carefully studied
by those who would succeed in il. Toe dsre-
gard Of those principles is the cause of the prosi-

to be studied--scarcely one to be read. 1t is T.
be glanced over. The articles, then, must be 80
written as to attract and hold attention. Pro-
cesses of thought and reasoning are to be sbut
out; results are to appear. Argument is TO he
suggested, rather than stated Usually one
point is enough for an article. Some single rail
should be struck fair upon the head, and then
left at once. IntrOductions are nuisance.--
differences are always skipped. The sentences
| should be short. Every word should leap win
| life. Condensation should be exueme. SuboI-
dinate thoughts should be thrown away. The
object is not to treat a subject iu full but 10
produce a certain effect All that is not neees-
sary to that effect should be discarded He who
has the nerve to do this, with soul that tire'
with great thought, and the manpess tn nltei
it freely, may WELD power with the pen who
no scepler can rival. The tendencies in profes
sional life are to deterioration OF style. Th'
constant didactisDi of the pulpit often degene-
rates into diifuseness The reiterAton of poinh
