A Mirror of Life.

Again, a good newspaper is a useful
mirror of life as it is. 1t is sometimes
complained that newspapers report the
evil when they ought only to report the
good. They must report the evil as well
al the good, or how shall We know what
is to be reformed, what guarded against,
what fought down? A newspaper. that
pictures only the honesty and virtue OF
society is a misrepresentation. That
family is best prepared for the duties OF
life which, knowing the evil, is taught
to select the good. Keep children under
the impression that all is fair and right
in the world, and when they go out into
it they will be as poorly prepared to
struggle with it as a child who is thrown
into the middle of the Atlantic and told
to learn how to swim. Our only COM
plant is when sin is made attractive
and morality dull, when vice is painted
with great headings and good deeds are
put in obscure corners. iniquity set up IN
great primer and righteousness IN nom
pareil. Sin is loathsome; make it loath-
some. Virtue is beautiful; make it beau

An Everlasting Blessing.
But / discourse now on a subject you
have never heard-the unreasonable
and everlasting blessing of a good news
paper. Thank God for the wheel full of
eyes. Thank God that we do not have,
like the Athenians, to go about to gath
er up and relate the tidings of the day,
since the omnivorous newspaper does
both for us. The grandest temporal
blessing that God has given to the nine
teenth century is the newspaper. We
would have better appreciation Of this
blessing if we knew the money, the
brain, the losses, the exasperations, the
anxieties, the wear and tear of heart
strings, involved in the production of a
good newspaper. Under the impression
that almost anybody can make a news
paper, scores of inexperienced capitalists
every year enter the lists, and onse-
quently during the last few years a
newspaper has died almost every day.
