NEWSPAPER REPoRTERs.--In a re.
cent lecture Mark Twain gets off the
following: III reported on morning
newspaper three yeals, and it was pretty
hard work. But l enjoyed its attrac-
tions. Reporting is the best school in
the world to get knowledge of human
beings, human nature and human ways
A nice, geDtlemanly reporter-I make
no reference-is well treated by every.
body. Just think of the wide range Of
acquaintancesbip, his experience of life
and society! No other occupation brings
a man into such familiar, social relations
with all grades and classes of people
The last thing at night-midnight-he
goes browsing out after items among the
police and Jail birds, in the lock up
questioning the prisoners, and making
lasting friendship with some of the
worst people in the world. And the
very next evening ne gets himself up
regardless Of expense puts on all the
clothes his friends have got, goes and
takes dinner with the Governor, or the
commander-in-chiet of the district, the
Unite d States Senator, and some more
OF the uprercrust Of society. He is on
good terms with all of them, aud is pre-
sent at every public gathering, and has
easy access to every variety OF people.
Why, | bresklasted almost every morn
ing with the Governor, diued with the
principal clergyman. and slept in the
station house. a reporter hes to lie
little OF course, or they discharge him.
That is the only drawback to the proies-
sion. This is why l left it, | am diff
ferent, from Washington. l have o
higher and grander standard of princi-
pal, Washington could not lie. | can
lie, but then it is distressing to have to
lie SO. Lying is bad-lyiug is very bad
Every individual knows that by expert
cnce. | think that for mau to tUl!
lie when he cant make anything by it,
it is wrong"
