Newspaper Compoaiaion

This is distinct and difficult art. Its principles
must be somewhat carefully studied by thore who
would succeed in it. The disregard of these prin
ciples is the cause of the Freshness which c!arac-
terizes SO much of our newspaper iterat ure. The
newspaper ia not thing to be studied -fcSrceiy
one TO be read IT is to be glaRcsd ope, The
articles, then, must lie written to airact and
hold attention. Processes of thought and reason
lug are to be shut out, results only are to appear
Argument ID TO be suggested, rather than stated
Usually one point is enough for an article. Some
single nail should be struck fair upon the head.
and then left at once Iutroductions are nui-
sance. differences arc always skipped The sem
fences should be short. Every word should leap
with life. Condensation should be extle me. Sub
ordinate thoughts should be thrown away. The
object is not to treat subject in full, bar TO pro-
duce a certain effect. All that is not necessary
TO the effect should be discarded. He who has
the nerve to do this with n soul that fires with n
great Thought and the mauliness 10 utter it freely,
may WELD power with the pen which no scepter
can rival. The tendencies in professional lite are
to deterioration Of style. The constant didactisHl
of the pulpit often degenerates into dffuseness.-
The reiteration points ut tho bar, and the pre-
cision ofegal style, tend to produce dryness and
repetition In no way can the professional man
more effectively make his words instinct with life
and power than by weekly practice in the columnt
! of a newspaper.-EIQmiHer.

The train from Toledo arrived this morning
with heavy load of passengers few minutes
before the time for the Eastward bound train

On descending from the Toledo cars, she was

THE DEATH OF THE YEAR.

How bandly bright
Is the softend light
OF the dying autumn day,
AS the golden west
-... BY the sun is drest
... In the robes of q regal sway;
And the birds gone, and the winda are still,
And there floats no sound on the woodland hill,
Save the dreamy buzz of the distant MILL
And the murmuring streamlets play.
-..al How richly fraught
e- With the themes of thought
Is the dying autumn grove;
For the wool of its pail
Is the brightest of all ......
That the varying year has wove;
E en- the iocund glance of the dewy Spring,
As che brushed the earth with her fragrant wing
Brought no such emile as these death hues bring
To the pride of the quiet cove.
In the thoughtful grace
OF her dying face
Is the glory of nature seen
And the Autumn Leaf
In its glory brief
He's more than its bOasted greeni
Tis the highest lesson OF earth 8 cold CLINE,
Aud the sou must soar with flight sublime,
Altar from the mists and tears time
To know what its beckonings mean.
'Tis time of hope
When the buds first ope
To the south wind quickening kiss,
And the teeming plain
v iih its waving grain
Has burden of healthy bliss;
But higher and holier hope may rise
From the fading leaf as it smiles and dies
More dear than life to the truly wise
... Is the scene of death like this.

ACuriOus study.

How many kinds of insects are in existence,
is question that would require good deal Of
figuring. Whence come many varities is anoth-
er question to which no one can pretend to give
an answer. Scarce species of plants exists
without a distinct variety OF insects that grow
upon it. The idea appears an absuTdity, yet
it seems as if animal life was impaired BY light
alone, where its germ had no existence. GU
rious illustration of this was recently shown 20
MS Mr. Hubbell, the well-known apothecary,
was experimenting upon different colored glass
with view to finding the tint that would best
prevent chemical change in substances con-
taiued in the lars and bottles made from it,
This was four years ago. He applied the test
20 African peppers. Those peppers are bright
vermiion III color, with surface AS beautiful
as coral. They are as hot as q dozen American
grown pepuers concentrated into one. He fil-
ed with them two jars, one of white e ass, the
other of blush green, made TO his order. The
peppers in the white jar underwent change,
after two years, though the vessel was hermetl
cally sealed, were filled with minute worms. No
ordinary vermn could exist among African pep
pers Opening the jar short time since, there
was nothing left but odoress powder, utterly
void of pungenev, composed of the dead and
dried worms and the worthless DEBRIS OF the
peppers. The contents of the other jar were
as sound and as bright as on the day when first
denosited We were als07shown a tin can of
saInbow, medical root, in thick slices, brought
from Siberia. II had arrived sound, but not
icing immediately used had become full of lit"
tie purple insects, unlike to anything here's

must have existed when il was dug up by the
Russian exiles in the high altitude from which
it came If not, why not . Be this as it may
