Writing Newspaper Articles.

1t is not enough to think and to know.
1t requires the faculty Of uiterance. Ger
tain things are to be said, and in GER
tain manner; and youl amateur article
writer is sure to strengthen in any man
ner but the right Perhaps Of all the
styles of writing there is none in which
excellence is so rarely attained as that Of
newspaper writing. A readable leading
article may not be the work of the lofti-
est order, or demand for its execution
the highest attributes Of genius; but,
whatever il may be, the power Of accom-
plishing ii with success is not shared by
thousands of clever Fellows Thou
sands of clever fellows, fortified by Mr.
.Thaekeray' opinion, may think they can
write the articles which they read in the
morning journals; but etthem take pen
and paper and try
We think it only fair that professional
authors should have the credit of being
able to do what other people can not.
They do not think themselves capable
OF conducting case in court of law as
cleverly as Queen counsel, or of get
ting sick man through the typhus fever
as skilfully as practiced physician.
But it is hard that they should not re-
ceive credit for being able to write bet
ter articles than either the one or the
other; or perhaps it is more to the pur-
pose to say the briefless lawyers and pa
tientless medical students, who are glad
to earn a guinea by their pens
Men are not born article writer's any
more than they are born doctors of the
Law or doctors ofphysic, as the ludicrous
failures which are every day thrown into
the rubbish basket Of all our newspaper
offices demonstrate past all contradiction.
Incompetency is manifest in variety of
ways; but an irrepressible tendency to
fine writing is associated with the great
est number of them. Give clever
young medical student book about
auraI or dental surgery to review, and
the chances are ten TO one that the criti-
cism will be little less than highhown,
grandiloquent treatise on the wonders of

Stop Talking.

The New York Express commends the
conduct of the Southern delegates at
Philadelphia because they recognized
the propriety of silence. The thing it
demonstrates against is, not the freedom
Of the press, but the abuse Of it. We
have been running strongly in that direc-
ton, for some years past, and it will do
no harm to rein in little now. Carlyle
says gab is the besetting sin Of the An
glo Saxon race, and so il is. The Swed-
ish legend says, speech is silver, but
silence is golden, and there Is much
higher declaration that, whose keepeth
his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his
soul from trouble also, that a man
full ofwords shall not prosper on earth. "

Of our recent troubles. Our public men
