ORATOR AND NEWSPAPER.

Compare the orator, n of the mob
lest vehicles for the diffusion of
thoughts, with the newspaper, and
you may gam u faint glimpse of the
ubiquitous powers of the latter; tho
orator speaks but to a few hundreds,
the newspaper addresses millions;
the wor,s OF the orator may die in
the air, the language Of the news
paper is stamped on tablets imper-
ishabls as marble; the arguments of
the orator may follow each other
so rapidly that the majority of the
audience may struggle in a net of
ratiocination, the reasoning of the
newspaper may be scanned at leisure
without q fear of perplexity; the
passion of the orator influences an
assembly, the feeling Of a newspaper
electrifies a continent; the orator 10

ming, which flashes over a valley for
amoment, but leaves it again in
darkness, the newspaper to a ~
blazing steadily over the whole
earth, and fixed on the basis of its
own eternity.
Printing has been happily defined
the art which preserves ants. Print
ing makes the orator more than an
orator. 1t catches up his dying
words, and breathes into them the
breath of life. It is the gallery
through which the orator thunders
in the ears OF ages. He leans from
tomb over the cradle of rising gen.
erations.
A newspaper is a window through
which men look out On all that il

newspaper q man Is smut IN a small
room, and knows little or nothing
of what is happening outside Of him.
