Timothy Pickering observed that "he

al must sometimes lead forlorn hope
Courage, high moral courage, is still
the quality most lacking in journalism
though we meet it not infrequently, and
believe that it is constantly increasing
as the temptations to cowardice are de
creaslng. 1t becomes every year more
difficult to hire or buy successful news
paper, for the successful newspaper is
rich enough to live without bribery.
Moreover, papers thrive now by their
advertisements rather than by their sub.
scribers. One of the besetting sins of
the journalist, especially of the war
and Washington correspondent, is self
conceit. {" I wish I new anything
said Lord Melbourne, as positively as
Macauley knows everything;;' and it
were surely a high enough ambition for
the most aspiring scholar to be as GER
tain of everything as is an American
editor. But our daily or weekly in.
structors have, after all, the right to a
little comforting self,glorification. 1t
Is NJ mean talent which they use, and
they do not use it ILL., One meets no
better English outside the works of the
great masters than we find daily in
newspapers. 1t is because true jour

his manner, and seeks to make himself
understood rather than admired, that
he writes so well and ho,o well our
best editors and correspondents write,
one can easily see by writing himself on
one of their themes Is it extravagant
to say that the careful reader of few
good newspapers will learn more in a
year than most scholars do in their
great libraries, while the majority OF
men and women are more rapidly in
structed by this means than by any ever
tried before? There is, however, this
drawback-the real or tancied necessity
of writing something upon every sub
ject, tempts too many journalists to be
mere smatterers, makes their opinions
less worthy of attention than their style.
Add to this their firm determination
never to retract statement or an opin
ion, and you can fancy a journalist of
tender conscience saying with little Ma
jorie Fleming: oh what would be-
come of me if was in danger and God
not friends with me? 1 must 90 to un-

DO E'OT THINK 1T Il SIN:

Do you think it a sin In the cleaning
To sit near neat fitting dress,
With the daintiest of maidens within it,
And lilly-white fingers to press
Or softly to lift stray ringlet,
That floats DER bosom OF snow,
Or to peep into eyes that are glancing
From darby fringed eyeds below?
A something you ought to repair,
And pass your arm round her and fix it.
And then to forget your arm there;
Or. just in fit of abstraction,
To tell her there's something you miss,
And while she is helping you find 1t,
To steal from her mouth a sweet kiss?
And as she's reprovlng you mildly,
You draw in your arm rather tight,
And tell her you are sorry you did it,
II she does not think it quite right;
And then in your penitent moment
You say that to you it ID plain
You ought, as a matter OF honor.
To give her the kiss back again.
Yet how to do 30 is a puzzle,
For in viewing the matter all DER,
III gave back the kiss l have stolen,
She might sag I'd taken one more.
Ga, I'm sadly perplexed and COMPOUNDED,
want to be just and polite;
Don't you think that twere better TO coax hel
To give me to kissing the right?
I'm afraid I've committed blunder.
And acted somewhere like Ounce;
l think must get up my courage
And ask her to we'd me at once.
I've done it-and she has consented
What a fortunate man 1 have been
And now you may keep your opinion
l don't think I've committed q sin.
