THE NEwsPAPER.

The newspaper il not gotten up
TOR the highly enlightened few, but fol
the moderately educated many. 1,
Is designed to be brief and attractive,
rather than lengthy and exhaustive,
aud its chief aim is to meet the ex-
pectations and needs of its patrons
and readers. The newspaper, when
wisely conducted, has great advan-
tages over other educators. Its il
Illustrations are furnished by curren
events. Unlike the pulpit, it is not
tied up to professional views of any
thing, and can therefore deal spon.
t~aneously with all that effects society.
The sermon is necessarily accompa.
MED with . mannerism that reveals il
to be . sermon where ever it is en-.
countered no matter, at what part
Of it You commence or end you are
made acquainted with its character.
There is a professional and pelfunc.
tionary air about it and 3 method
that is peculiar lit was not prepared te
be widely read and publicly criticised,
but addressed to a confiding few,
and Is q general rule it expects and
receives the forbearance and protec-
ton that is accorded pulpit deliver
ences that are admitted to be de.
signed to have good effects upon
churches. Perhaps one Of the rea'
sons that the influence of the press
outstrips that Of the pulpit is that the
sermon is too artificial for the major
ity of mankind. On the other hand
the newspaper is nearly always natu'
ral-an ofrhand production without
either show of sanctity OF claim o.
scholarship, or the embarrassment O
self-consciousness. Although The
newspaper Is scarcely ever what i
ought to be, and never rises above
the ability with which is conducted.
nine-tenths of what is generally know
Is derived from it, and one of it
greatest blessings is that 1t sets ever.

reason and common sense. No othe
agency has accomplished SO muc|

The crop of Fair and Supper is fully
up to the average this year. One that We
are most interested in is that to be holden
at the hall at East Bass Harbor on the
second day of January, by the ladies of the
BASS Harbor Cemetery Society" As the
proceeds go to keep in repair the ''city of
the Dead" We hope all will patronize the
fair so they may make respectable appear

The large pier of the steamboat wharf
at Bass Harbor is completed and the drive
way will be laid in season for the steamboats,
to stop here in the spring. Grumblers, and
doubters please take notice; business at this
