Selections for Newspapers,

Most people think the selection of
suitable matter for newspaper the
easiest part of the business. How great
an error. To look over and over fifty
exchange papers daily, from which to
select enough for one, especially when
the question is not what shall, but
what shall not be selected, is no very
easy task. IL every person who reads
II newspaper could have edited il, we
should have less complaints. Not un-
frequently it is the case that an editor
looks over his exchange papers for
something interesting, and finds abso,
lntcly nothing. Every paper is dricr
than contribution box, and yet some
thing must be had--his pape: must be
on, with something in it, and he does
the best he can. To an editor who
has the least care in what he selects,
the writing he has to do is the easiest
part of his labor. Every subscriber
thinks the paper is printed for his own
benefit, and if there is nothing that
suits him, it must bet i. good tor
nothing. AS many subscribers as an
editor has, 80 many tastes he has to
consult. One wants something very
smart and very sound. One likes an.
ecdotes. fun and frolc, and his next
door ncishbor wonders that c man of
sense will put such stuff in his paper
Something spicy comes out, and the
editor is b!ackguard. Next comes
something argumentative. alt the edi-
Tor is dull fool. And so between
them all, the poor fellow gets the worst
OF it. They never reflect that what
docs not please them will please the
next man; but they insist that if the
paper does not suit them, it is good for
nothing.
