rift Hulburd, in the First NJ. E.
church. St. Paul, on Sunday, Feb. 9th:
But the majority of US
read mostly newspapers. And here
the same division into good and bad
exists. with still greater preponder.
ance of the latter. I suppose few of
US who read the newspapers have any
idea of the toll, the nervous strain,
the ache of head and heart, by which
the great dailies are produced. In

ating the current incidents of the dav

dreds of new papers from all parts of
the State and from distant cities, until
the printed foilos become WEAKNESS

of interest to their readers; in aaoth>

eyes to detect the errors of the com.
positors. and often yours and mine al
so. Then close by, at long ranges of
type-cases, stand a score or two of
compositors. If you enter the COM
posing room at midnight you will hear
only the never ceasing click. click,
