Z VERY TRUs.-Prentice, of the Louisville
Journal, says: ,sThe really able Journalist
must be not only a man of thought, but a
! man of action, also. +, The voluptuous litera-
teur has no place in the modern printing
Office; for he only is useful who can work
at night; give up society; subordinate his
personality to his craft; consider himself,
while on duty, as man On a voyage, bound
to serve out certain time. A newspaper
is, indeed, ship at sea, and almost always
in a storm. The pillows Of popular passion
are out there on every. side, ,seething and
ifoaming. Keep her steady to the wind and
there is no danger; but it is fearful to- try
to run against the current OF in the, face of
the wind, and the least INSTRUMENTATION, or
inebriety or lack of skill of. officers or
crew, may be fatal"
