EDUCATING MEN FOR NEWSPAPER
AfARHRS


Gen, LEE proposes to establish at the
seat If iserning oyer which he preside'
Ia Virginia, scholarships for the educa-
ton of young men in the science Of
journalism. The Times and Sun both
naestion whether any good result can
come Of the experiment The latter
holds that
at is no more possible to form an ac-
complishcd newspaper man by such
means than to turn out rcady-made
merchant from a commercial college, or
to convert a man into a lawyer by few
courses of law lectures. As the details
Of legal practice can be nowhere ma6lae
ed but in a lawyers Office or in theissw
courts, so the young journalist, be he
ever so well instructed in what he may
consider the theory of his profession,
must serve his apprenticeship in a news
paper office before he can claim to have
mastered the art. There is scarcely an
editor of note in this country who has
not done this. Nearly all of them have
been in their time reporters, and some Of
the most eminent have been promoted
from the printers case, and probably
never had an hours tuition in the So
called theory Of their business.
considering therefore; how much Of
the education of a Journalist must be
practical, it is difficult to imagine what
the proposed course of study is to ac'
complish."

Country Gentleman, June 18th:
"Pleasc say to your readers who are
troubled with currant worms, that | clear
cd them all out last year by one application
of Ashim milk, applied with syringe.
Worms, they say, breathe through their
skins; stop the breathing holes and they
die. Milk does that; perhaps molasses

plish the same rcsult-so would thin glue
or gum water, but as the milk left me

two of black pepper, two nutmcgs, and a
very little Cayenne pepper, with a little

LOVE AND TIME.


lie asked her for her hand when she
Was very young and fair,
The summer in her soft blue eye,
Its sunlight on her hair.
But she was proud, and bade him win
Some need OF gold and fame,
Before he came loves smile to seek,
Her guerdon kiss to claim.
And so from love and her he turned,
The better both to meet,
The way he took was strcwn with shards,
That cut his pilgrim feet;
But upward still, till through the years
That stole his life away,
Fame's sunshine fell at last upon
One great, and rich, and gray.
All, little of times change they rocked,
Who parted long ago!
And love may not be bid and beckcd
To tarry and to go.
Afar she wceps who babe him climb
She knows as well as he
The prize he spent his life TO win
No gucrdon now can be.

WORTH TRYINa.-A Philadelphia paper
says that an eminent surgeon of that city
had his horses washed in the morning with
water in which one or two sliced onions
had been stepped. He found that the flies
kept at respectable distance, while no
harm was done to the animals. A sepa-
rate bucket or vessel other than that used
to water the horses, would be necessary,
and great relief would be obtained at small
cost.
