While on earth [ never expect a
view more glorious than on Gray's
Peak, Col. No pen can describe it,
and this is merely the stub of five
cent pencil. If in some sphere of the
future there is panorama more grand
in its roughness, more magnificent in
its extent and less adapted to general
transportation, no wonder that the in
habitants have wings. How seldom
we realize the massiveness of nature
when she really humps her back.

papers it must expect to see the worst
newspapers thrive. The daily jour
nal is a product rather than force.
1t will not only reflect, but represent
the age it lives in. 1t is true, and es-
pecially true of our own country,
that newspapers in the hands of men
having convictions and believing that
they could, with this modern lever,
help to move the world, have accom-
plished great things. Without them
the great movement of the past cen
tury for the furtherance of personal,
religious and political liberty would
have travelled mt a snaifs pace. But
this was possible only because they
had the support and sympathy of the
best men and women of the communi-
ty. The newspapers can lead, but
leadership implies Il following, and
where none will follow none will be
brave enough to lead. As Il rule,
newspapers are what their readers
make them. The responsibility of
as that of the editor. The surest
way of keeping the standards of our
journalism high, and of raising them,
is for that portion of the public which
knows the value and necessity of a
digniiied znd able press to withhold
its support altogether from newspa-
pers which cater to depraved tastes
and are reckless of the truth, and to
give it to newspapers which can safe
ly he taken into the family, and are
not only decent but just n. y.
