-. April Is, 1876
SIR: suppose that even God the Sdvior him
self would be refused and rejected in bis works
by the Editors and Publishers unless he were
an old and well-known and established writer
however meritorious might be his productions:
So obstinately bent are those who have charge
and management of Papers and Pamphlets to
exclude all pew contributors to their sheets, and
so determedly are they resolved not to believe
them worthy of an admitence into their col
emns; while they fill up their pages with such
foolish and tritiiDg material as that all does
not amount in value to the worth of an egg-ful
OF dishwater l would like to understand hOaC
good writer must be, or to what degree his
productions must be valuable before he can be
considered as good; and how lonq his
probation must last and just how long he must
freeze to an icicle by being, compelled to stand
out in the cold before it is considered, prudent
to permit him to come in. 1 cannot conceive of
any just reason whatever why q good writer
should not be Immediately granted the priyi-
lege of having his writings inserted on the
printed page, nor where the justice or fancied
justice can lie of showing aside things of i'm
portance to make place for trifes which are q
disgrace both to the station they occupy and to
those or him who permits them to be placed
there. II this writing which now send you Is
not really good then L am profoundly ignorant
what constitutes good: and though 1 look to
have it rejected, and therefore send enclosed
stamp for its return should it be so, yet L shall
Justly and with good ground consider it burn
ing shame If rejection comes. 1 am not a new
writer or fresh contributor although 1 have
never yet succeeded; and although am firmly
resolved il live that success shall be mine.
Yet cannot conceive what good posthumous
success can be to person, ten thousand years
after ne is dead. suppose that you will re-
move the address at my request from tine top
of the sheet if you should see fit to consign
this to printing. 1 hope your opinion will CO.
inside with mine. that you will oblige your cor
respondent, and that shall at length have the
happiness of finding success upon your sheet
when l never found it elsewhere before The
stamp can be used to return me an answer IL
the manuscript is accepted. Should fail this
time snail most assuredy try yon again: being
bound to succeed.
Yours. dear Sir, with much respect.

The temperance reform which has
been spreading over Maine and other states
the past six months is most remarkable.
Communities seem to be ripe for temperance
reform. Men by scores and hundreds who
have been accustomed to use intoxicating
liquors more or less freely, have taken the
pledge Of total abstinence and evince de-
termination to lead lives of sobriety. The
number of drinking men who have taken the
pledge in Maine the past six months must
number five thousand at least. A recent
carefully made estimate of the result of the
temperance work in Massachusetts puts the
number Of drinking men who have signed
the pledge the past six months in that state
at 10000. In our own state there are villages
where so many of the patrons of saloons and
other drinking resorts have taken the pledge
that those keeping them have found the ''iron
clad" pledge more formidable force than
the sheriff and the stringent liquor law.
The work is still going on and every friend OF
sobriety must rejoice thereat.
