MIR. Beecher on the Press.

Newspapers could scarcely be too
much Landed in this age as a means Of
instruction. 1t is not small thing
that every twenty -four hours $4,000.
600 of men were made to think of the
same thing. The cannon that was
exploded in: Asia was heard in New
York. Newspapers were doing
great work in the diffusion Of knowl-
edge; they were doing something in
diffusing influence such rs it was.
Newspapers were an article of mer.
chandise; they were made to sell, and
could not afford to produce that which
did not sell. Good as newspaper edit
ors were, they were obliged to go a
peg or two lower down for market
reasons only. [Laughter.] Many and
many of the newspapers publish
objectional news, and it was that
news which was greatly sought. Good
Christian citizens were seen stealthily
buying these papers to see what the
devil had done, and it was just because
of that that these papers sell. The
great reason why the papers were not
better was because the people did not
want them any better. Newspapers
were doing a great educating work in
the country despite of that.

1t timothy is s0wn on the same land,

habit of farmers has been to SOW this
grass seed with the wheat in the fall,
but it often gets such a growth as to
greatly injure the wheat. Before SOW.

however, will give the greater atten-

UNA READ GOODALE.

To stranger, follower, or friend,
In this perpetual round Of strife,
OF life In death, of death in life,
The world shall really reach its end.
Although it never shift within
Its endless circle round the sun,
Six thousand years ago begun,
Yet daily shall the world begin.
In health or plague, in war or peace,
Despair or hope, abroad or home,
At last for each the end shall come,
For each the world forever cease.
And even so, in peace or war,
In chamber noble or forlorn,
The world for him most newly born,
Shall be renewed foreyermorc.
For this our prophet and her kin,
The world was ended long ago,
But for the strong, the steadfast, 10!
The waiting world may yet begin!
