How to Read a Nevspaper

The Pittsburgh Register has this SEN
sible paragraph about reading news
paper
The way to do this if the paper be
properly edited, is to 90 Hroagh Il oil.
Many have the impression that what is
called the editorial page contains mainly
important articles, whereas eoery page Of a
well conducted paper is alike edited--that
is, made up Of articles selected, or perhaps
condensed or compiled, from other papers
and frequently the editor himself con
siders the selections thus combined and
approprlit ed Of more interest to his read
ers and of better furtherance to his views
than anything he could say himself. Read
your home paper thoroughly through
therefore and if it be edited as il
should be, you will acquire therefron
weekly such fund of information as will
enable you not only to hold your own, bu
often more, with the more flippant anc
superficial readers of half dozen news
papers"

An hour before, she spoke of things
That memory to the dying brings,
And kissed me all the while:
Then, after some few parting words,
She seemed among her flowers and birds,
Until she fell asleep.

The crimson leaves fall off the bough,
And strew the gravel sweep.

And muse on all the happy talk

And resting on the garden seat
Her old Newfoundland at my feet,

OF golden ewes when she and
Sat watching back the flashing sky,
The sunset and the sea,
Or heard the children in the lanes
Following home the harvests wains,
And shouting in their glee.
But when the daylight dies away,
And ships grow dusky in the bay,
These recollections cease
And, in the stiffness of the night,
Bright thoughts, that end in dreams as bright
Communicate their peace.

And hear the breakers on the bar,
The voices on the shore;
And, then in dreams long to be
