found that d little rustic was a

that it was the most enjoyable

Our newspapers are repositories
of knowledge and are constantly
lifting the people into the sun
light. Newspaper knowledge
makes up the structure of the
worlds heart and brain, and de-
cides the fate Of churches aud Of
nations. Adams, Jefferson, Frank.
lin, Clinton, all had their hands
on the printing press. Most of
the good books Of the day have
come out in periodicals. Macau
lays essays, Carlyle's essays, Rus.
kin's, Talfourd's, and others have
first appeared in periodicals. II
one should see in life nothing in
the way Of literature but the Bi.
BILE, Shakespeare, a dictionary, and
a good newspaper, ne would be
fitted for all the duties of this life
and for the opening of the next.
A good newspaper is a mirror of
life as it is. Complaints are made
because the evil is reported as
we'll as The good. But q newspa
per that merely presents the fair
aud beautiful side of society is q
misrepresentation. If children
come into the worlds active life
and find it different from what
they had believed, they will be
incompetent for the struggle.
Complaint is sometimes made that
sin is set up in great primer type
and righteousness in nonpareil.
Sin is loathsome ; make it so. Vir.
tue is beautiful make it so. A
great improvement in newspapers
would be to drop their imperson-
atty. 1t would add potency to
articles to see articles signed. 1t
seems TO me that no honorable
man would write an article that
he would be ashamed to put his
name to. What is a private cit
izeu to do when a misrepresenta-
tiop is multiplied 10000 Or 1000
times? A wrong done q mans
character in q newspaper is more
virIlent than one done in pri-
vate life. 1t seems to me that it
would be a great advantage to the
literature Of this country, if men
could get the credit for the good
they write, and be held RESPONSE
bic for the evil they write. An
other improvement would be a
university education for journal
lists: as for the other professions.
No profession requires more cul-
ture and education than that of
Journalism. There must be edito-
rial professorates in our colleges.
'Tbe newspapers serve an i'm
portant function as the chroniclers
of passing events. They describe
for the benefit Of future historians
all events-ecclesiastical, literary,

a blessing in their evangelizing in

JOB PRINTING
OVER.EXERTEON.

Long-continued exertion, with.
out proper intervals of rest, is fol-
lowed by a peculiar sensation of
fatigue, and often BY tremor or
cramp. Fatigue IS due, in part, to
the failure Of contractile material,
and an accumulation of waste
products, in the muscles, but, in
the main, to the exhaustion of the
nerve cen,ers that supply;stimu!us
to contraction. Both tremor and
cramp are probably caused by ex-
cessive muscular irratibility, the
former being due to short, irrcg-
uiar explosions of muscular force,
the latter being a prolonged con-
traction of the MUSCLE
When over-exertion is confined
to q small group Of muscles, these,
instead of becoming enlarged and
strengthened, as is the case when
exertion and rost are duly inter
changed, suffer chronic exhaus-
ton, which shows Itself In a spe-
cies of paralysis-as in ia palsy,
or cramp, severally peculiar to
writer's, telegrapbers, type-setters,
Violinists, pianists, tailors, milk
ers, and men of various trades
whose work is mainly with the
hammer. . ..zr...
1t is computed that the pen
blade forger, if industrious aud
disposed to do full work, delivers
nearly $4,000 accurate strokes q
day, and in ten years over s8,000,-
600, each stroke involving expcn.
diture OF nerve force, both in the
nerves of the brain which cslcu.
late the distance and amount Of
force necessary, and the. nerves
of the muscles engaged in the
| act.
Another result of over-exertion
is irratibility of the heart, sim
larly due to exhaustion of nerve
force. The heart may become
dilaled, so that valves-one or
more cease fully to close the
openings, or. the valves become
thickened and incapable Of ready
! and complete action. The elastic
tissues of the great arteries lead
ing out Of the heart may be
weakened by ver-distension, and
the walls may, during some strong
effort, 80 far gave way as to form
a pouch, or even to stretch out
into fatal anoorism.
This irrlLability of heart gives
rise to palpltation, cardiac pain,
and rapid pulse.
1t is estimated that SO per cent.
of cases Of this affection among
our soldiers during the late civil
war we're due to long and rapid
marches, or other forms Of over
exertion. Professional pedestrians
arelproveroially short-lived. Noun
ain-climbers, and persons who
carry gymnassic CT athletic ex.
ercises to excess, and, especially,
laborers whose work is severe, and
who also suffer from intemperance,
foul air and improper diet, are
peculiarly liable to heart disease.
