w HAT MAKES GOOD NEWSPAPER-ln ne
Louisville C0urier-JourndI has the following
sensible remarks about conducting news
paper: "Some people estimate the ability Of
a newspaper and the talent of its editor by
the quantity of its original matter. 1t is COM
paratively an easy task for frothy writer to
pour out daily column of words-words
upon any and all subjects. His ideas may flow
in one weak, washy, everlasting flood, and
the command of his language may enable him
to string them together like punches of onions,
and yet his paper may be meager and poor
concern Indeed, the mere writing part of
editing paper is but a small portion of the
work. The care, the time employed in select
ing, is far more important, and the fact of q
good editor is better shown by his selections
than by anything else; and that, we know. is
half the battle. But, as we have said, an edi-
tor ought to be estimated, and his labor under
stood and appreciated, by the general conduct
of his paper-its tones, its uniform, consistent
course, its manliness, its dignity, and its pro-
priety. To preserve these as they should be
preserved is enough to occupy fully the time
and attention of any man. If to this be added
the general supervision of the newspaper
establishment, which most editors have to
encounter, the wonder is how they find time
to write all they do write"
A writer in the Elmira Advertiser describes
some of the leading mercantile houses of
Wyalusng. He says:
j. II. HOWARD.
Mr.. II. in the year 1872 noticing the uncom-
mon ''openng" in his line at this place left a
lucrative position in Elmira and opened Il gen.
eral hardware store, first purchasing the stock
kept by the several merchants already here.
After running about ten months he took in IA
partner and the firm assumed the name of
Ridgway & Howard, which continued for
about fourteen months when Mr.. Ii. became,
through purchase. again the sole proprietor
and as such has since continued. In his stock
may be found everything in the line of hard
ware from horse nail upward-and in value
never less than about 900. He furnishes
the carriage and iron workers for miles
around, his sales averaging, all told, not less
than $25,000, per annum. Mrs. Howard at
tends to the books and other store work and
is a most valuable assistant. Although in a
large and commodious store, yet if the hard
ware business continues to develop as in the
past, Mr.. Ii. must move to even more eXten-
sive quarters, (Which rumor says will soon
come to pass) in order to accommodate his
most f1ourishng trade. We next pass into
the store bearing the name of
GAYLORD, SUMNER ~ CO.,
A firm whose active members arc young
men of 'sterling makeup" and who enjoy the
entire confidence of the public. At these
quarters was the well-known house Of Ackley
Lloyd & Blocher in prosperous business fol
many years and it was happy event that in
stalled men like the named as their successors
Mr.. G. attends to the purchasing OF goods anC

The Surety.

Thomas Nolan had been turned out of
Sabbath School He had become so un-
ruly that it seemed impossible to bear
with him any longer, and his influence
over the other pupils was so bad that for
their sake it was thought best to expel
him. But his parents brought him to
the school again, begging the superinten-
dent to take him back, and give him one
more trial.
Il should be very glad to do so if I
could feel sure of his good conduct. But
it is sad thing for such big boy to set
such bad example. However, will
see" and the superintendent went into
the school-room.
"Boys," said he, "Thomas Nolan
wants to come back to Sabbath School,
and if some one will become surety for
good conduct, I will gladly receive him
into the school again
There was silence for few minutes.
The larger boys shook their heads, for
they knew him of old. Then one of the
smallest boys said, please, sir, will. :"
You u said the superintendent, "you
become surety for boy twice as large
as you'll Willie, do you understand
what it means to become surety for any
one?"
Eyes, sir; it means that when he is
bad, [ am to be punished instead of
him" was Willie's reply.
The superintendent then went out and
told Mrs. Nolan that they would receive
Thomas into the school again, as Willie
Graham had become surety for his good
conduct.
Toms heart was touched and as he
followed the superintendent into the
school-room, he made mental resolve
that little Willie Graham should never
have to be punished for his misconduct.
