~" Godey's Lady's Book for November
comes to US from the publishers, laden
with the usual quantity of literary, mis-
cellaneous and pictorial attractions, which

in it's aims to cultivate and refine the
manners Of the age, the Book sets it's mark
high up in tho scale Of merit and has the
happy faculty Of rarely if ever failing to
work up to that mark, and, as a conse-
quence, "making its mark" in its world Of

.y Messrs. Williams & Kremer, have
boen Frightening up, we perceive, their
tin, copper and sheet IRON establishment,
on Third street. They have enlarged the
dimensions thereof by an additional room,
and remodeled and painted the front of
their building so as to make it present
much heater and more businesslike APP
pearance. We are glad to notice the i'm
provement as atfording an evidence that
the mechanical industry and enterprise of
those deserving citizens is commanding a
success, despite the hardness of the times,
which justifies and enables them to "branch
out" in the manner stated.

ITEMIzING.-Who that regularly
reads the newspaper has not been
struck with those many named col
umns into which the news of all the
world is compressed? Variously
styled in various newspapers, they
aim to grasp and localize the news
of everything and everybody, every
where, and to present it in as small
and telling space as possible. They
carry the reader in a breath from
Indus to the pole, and hurry him
along from sentence to sentence, to
conduct him in trice to antipodes
of thought. The reader never thinks,
as his eyes take their rapid journey
down the column, of the care, the
pains, the taste, the skill, the pa
thence, necessary to reduce those
items to attractive shape. The scis-
sors and the paste do good deal of
the work, it is true; but the brain
helps more than it is given credit for.
Fancy and imagination and judy
ment have to play their part. The
scissors dart instinctively at "good"
item, and the brains step in and
decide whether its publication would
be judicious. Is the item old? Has
it ever appeared before? Is it nice
and fresh and crisp and sparkling 7
What position shall it hold with
regard to the other items Has
another one on the subject been
already clipped out? Might not the
phraseology be changed, SO as to
bestow point and pith2 Could a
piquant joke be tagged on? Again,
when the work of selection is done,
and the items personal, miscellane-
GUS, religious, theatrical, and what
not-are all arranged in order, will
they make glittering and SYM
metric whole, over which the eye
will delight to rove, like bird from
flower to flower? All these things
have to be considered in attending to
the "item' department of the news
paper. The tastes of every possible
reader must be anticipated. Since it
takes all sorts of people to make
world-a truism of profounder mean
ing than is generally appreciated-is
takes all sorts Of items to make a
newspaper. The newspaper for the
time is the world, and the items are
the people in it, filling the columns
with life and variety, furnishing in
finite material for thought, and bring
ing close beside one another all the
characters and events in this teeming
world.-N Y. Gazette.

Davis fully comprehends the character
Of those FIRE brand politicians who are
seeking to elevate themselves through the

talk about kissing "tbe baby" WAS an
