would win greatness and success
must rllcan from tho whole vast

which disturb and fret society, but
ma human Ifs Is made mp more
hrgoly Of little than Of great things,
every event that carries an inin,
cnee or serves TO point u moral
must receive consideration. Thus
through the pages Of tho thorough
newspaper We are brought into view
OF The doings OF all peoples, and arc
madc intimate with their scnu'
ments and their purposes. Towhat
source shall We go for a more cor,
rect index TO humnn nature IN all
i.s phases 4? and where eisc shall we
find human life, its achievements
md It's aspirations, so abnndantly
figured? What a wonderful pano-
rama is this newspaper with It's
grand pictures of moving armies,
it's gorgeous paintings OF mighty
battles, its enrolling and inspiring
incidents of heroism, and in con
trast lis tales Of wrong, with their
ecqnols Of woo, misery and death Z
IN wondrons mingling of the sun
shine and shadows of life! AT this
}ount Of strange aud startling in
gredionts, IL Is the printers privil.
Y US 70 take the fra. draught, and
ne drinks not as The way-iarcr who.
hastily swallows what is placed DO,
fore him and goes his way to the
discharges Of his duties, but sips pa,
ticntly and cautiously, draining the
cup little by little to the drcgs. If
he Is intelligent aud observing, he
rnnnotfai TO find inspiration for
thought and fancy. for in this sim
,gular ndmixture of the bitter and
the sweet there is something for
every taste and every faculty. But
how really few printers there are
\ who comprehend, TO say nothing of
using, their opportunities in this
particular. There are many intelli-
gent men, certainly, TO be found in
printing Offices, men who think and
( feel and sec, and who utilize much
Z that they come in contact with; not
d few ofthe worthiest mont hecoun-
! try has had have found their chief
md best schooling at tho "cuse;p
bnt the majority are more workers,
y human automatons who manipulate
tho types with mechanical precision,
but who give littlo ifany considera-
ton TO The thoughts and facts into
(which tho unconscious instruments
they handle infuse life and manor
tnlfty, and which are to play their
part for good or evil in the great
I drama of human existence. 1t is.
! ,itiabloto see men thus wholly in
different to opportunities which
many would prize above riches
opportunities which hold in their
embrace honorable reputation, pow
Tor among men, and the means Of
gratifying the highest aspirations
sgf the mind while contributing to
fths comfortablossustenancc of the
physical being. Wcrc the thou
sands Of printers in the land sepa-
s,aled SO as to present those who
have improved their opportunities
md those who have neglected or
iolaly ignored them, the result
would be an appalling showing in
favor Of the billiards; and this lat
fer class would not be found alto

Iraisrnity, butwouId embrace many
