all.'' In brief, we have given you a few
ideas of the grace and faith necessary to

has not been told. Journalists have fire.
quently to decide how to put every mans
advertisement in the same place at the same
time; how to put two columns of matter in
one column space; how to display a solid
nonpareil advertisement in great primer
type, and not occupy more space; how to
make news when there is not any how to
fill a paper with fresh sensation when moth
ing has happened how to eulogize a dead
MANS past good deeds, when he was noto-
riously bad all his life how to write an
obituary of u man who has called you mul-
ish all your life, that will not offend the rel
atiyes Of the deceased !; how to make a grand
reception (aoithout pag) of a mush and milk
party of six; how to live on nothing, with
slight variations year by year,, are, my
young friend, some of the questions you
will be called upon to settle in your Journal
istic career.

And leave hel without a care. "'

And her life is rs sweet as her face,

Just as | love to-day,

Are her beautiful inwafd graces;
They linger, and still shall linger,
When the years shall have passed away.

JOURNALISM.

A young man writes to the Milford IN.
Ell Enterprise for advice with reference to
learning to be a journalist, and that paper
replies as follows:
Not being personally acquainted with
you, to advise would be a difficult task. In
the first place, all depends upon tire man.
10 be Il successful editor requires more
grace than most persons possess, more
courage than Goliah, more meekness than
Moses, more wisdom than Solomon, and
more patience than job. In the outset, you
will meet with much unpleasantness; your
life, if you have the least particle of sensi-
t~iveness, will be besct with thorns; you
must be able to see your best efforts cursed
by men, and murmur not. 1t may be hard
forsyou, having spent hours on some leader,
which you fully believed would astonish the
world, to have people point you out AS him
who wrote the leader, while they signiti-
cantly tap their heads, to indicate there was
lunacy or emptiness in yours. One of the
first things that will attract your attention
after the commencement of your profession
is the great number of people you will find
ready to declare you an ass. TO be sure his
will not be pleasant, but all journalists have
that experience it was so with Greedy, the
prince of journalists. and all the leading
newspaper men have to undergo this ordeal
young man, can you stand it? You will
have hosts of enemies; all the deadbeats,
who nave tried unsuccessfully to sponge IA
yors from you without pay all who have
tried to build themselves up through the
columns of your paper, but to favor whom
you have, out OF principle, ~refused-these,
and all like them, will rise up to curse you.
Faith must be All essential element in your
make up. That will be principally what
YOU will live on. To be sure you will occ;l-
sionally be invited out to a dinner, which
you will be expected to puff Il dollars
worth before, and two dollars worth after
but you will save the price of your corn
cake at home. Can you count it all JOY to
walk to and fro, up and down the world,
and feel that every one you meet yves you
from one to Il dozen years subscription? Ii
YOU have faith enough, backed by q good
degree of work, dan you will collect about
one in ten during the year. Those who &c
not paw walk about the streets and tell how
much they do towards the support OF the
paper. You will be surprised, also, at the
yickelness of the world. Scores Of people
will come to you and ask You not to puI
J some wicked deed into the paper, which
!. their conscience leads them to fear nigh
! come out of course, as no one knows
. bnt themselves and you, you must have TIL
power of secretiyeness, if you wish to keel

will also be surprised, should You write al

Vet there was no especial cause for either
tpelias the game was Il sociable one, the
Dlayers near and dear friends. Only the ex-
element of the play produced this effect.
Chance, the artist, had left his penciling up
on each cheek and eye.
So the gane began. Ere fong the dealers

table fell the Ace of trumps; the second

low trump card; and the last, he whose

down With a sigh.
No more swinging now, for the quarry is
ste. In silence the game goes on, III silence
is finished. High, low, jack and the game
reward the fortunate side holding the ace OF
trumps.
Then we fell Into a r~eyerie, perhaps to

and tive new actors took their places at the
card table.
The game was the Game of life. The

VIII Mr.. Tflden Remain Here.

1t is said that Mr. Tilden is coming here to
stay until the political contest is over. This
is free country, except in the bull doZed dis
tricts of the South, and a man has a right to
60 where he sees fit, ard do what he chooses,
so long as he obeys the law and deports him
self worthily. But there is question of pro-
priety about the coming of Mr.. Tilden to
Washington during the present contest. He
has friends here capable of manipulating his
wires without his presence. What they fail
to know about cunning and trickery he can
supply by letter or q private conference in
New York. If Mr.. Tilden simply intended to
come here as a citizen, no one would object;
but many will doubt the propriety of his COM
ing here as a would be President for the pur-
pose of scheming his way into the White
House.
Men are beginning to respect modesty more
than they do brass. That which in the vulgar
tongue is called cheek may win in the rough,
blunt business of life, but in struggling for
the exalted place of Chief Magistrate of
great republic it is especially repulsive and
reprehensible. Besides, should Mr.. Tilden
come to Washington at this juncture it would
have tincture Of mischief about it positively
AioosiOcoOic w VIC PcoSC-AOPinS PcOpic VI tAc
country.
Rumors are fast on the wing in these peril
GUS days. 1t has already been said that the
House proposes to prolong the debate on the
electoral count until the eleventh hour and
then, should the Senate declare Hayes elected,
to proceed to the election of Mr.. Tilden and
secure his Inauguration at the earliest mo-
ment thereafter. The proposition has the ear
marks of revolution, and Mr.. Tilden's presence
here would give it considerable consistency.
The cards of cunning and political trickery
can be played in New York with quite as much
facility and certainly with as much safety as
in the capital OF the nation. Mr.. TiIden will
find Grammercy Park Place quite as comfort
able spot in which to play his game for the
Presidency as Washington, and it is hoped
that he will be modest enough to remain there
during the pending struggle.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1877-01-05
Speech OF Mr.:PhiIIips, of Kansas.

Mr.. Phillips, of Kansas, made a strong
speech in the House yesterday on the political
outlook. Among other things he said that
the Democracy was opening the road to civil
conflict by urging upon the citizens of the
United States the movement looking to the
holding of convocstions or mass meetings on
the Sth inst. This he asserted.was a measure
which was tainted strongly with revolution,
and was of the most unfortunate conception.
He said that the Southern States, with the eI-
ception of Georgia, had been wrested from the
Republican party by the hand of violence and
the spirit of mobocracy; that the elections in
these States had teen nothing more or less than
armed revolution against laNt land constituted
authority; that It was great injustice to the
Northern States, which held peacesble and fair
elections, to lose their votes, counteracted by
those of the Southern States, where the cleo
tions were unfair and dishonest and were held
under the influence of brute force, fraud and
intimidation. In reviewing the electoral vote
Mr.. Phillips produced statistics respecting this
matter for a century past, which proved con-
clusively that the President of the Senate has
the right to open and declare the vote.
In closing his speech Mr.. Phillips referred
to the attempts of the Democracy for years
past to break down the influence of the Presi-
dent. Indirectly they endeavored all through
the last session of Congress to injure the
President by Investigations, but signally
failed, leaving him loved and respected more
by the American people than he had ever
been before. He said that they had threat
ened to impsach him because he sent troops
into the South, when they knew he had done

The Louisiana Ease.

It is now admitted that the result of the
Presidential election depends alone upon
the facts connected with the rendition of the
electoral vote in Louisiana. Governor Foote,
as we think, conclusively demonstrated in his
recent letter to Mr.. Lamar that Congress could
not go behind the electoral certificates in order
to inyalidate the presumption of validity
raised by the electoral certificates themselves,
upor the ground of fraud or irregularity, and
that to allow this to be done would be an en-
tire overthrow of one of the most important
of the reserved rights of the State and peo-
pie" and concentrate all governmental power
in the legislative department of the Govern
ment. In connection with this view of the
subject, we venture to ask what would have
been the indignant language of the venerable
Francis P. Blair, when editor of the Globe,
If the Wing Senate of 1874 had at
tempted to go behiud the electo-
raj returns of Louisiana of that period,
in order to invalidate and set aside the cleo
toral votes of that State because of the no.
torious Plaqueminnes fraud perpetrated in
that very election under the direction of John
A. Sldell, a cadet of Tammany halls No
Wing statesman of that period was so eyre
giously absurd as to claim such power. 1t
is reserved for the ultra State-rights men of
the present time to bury all notions Of State
rights in the "Tomb of the Capulets."
