Gunton's Magazine.
The wonderful development of the news
paper may also be looked upon as a very
potent factor in the decline of letter-writ-
ing as an art. The letter no longer can be
regarded as primarily the carrier of news.
The expression of ones opinion about great
contemporary events is. indeed, still left
to the letter, but how much of an incentive
to friendly correspondence is lost by the
fact that every part of the world knows of
important happenings almost simultaneous
ly is not to be lightly estimated The stim-
illus to writing that comes from having
news to impart is done away with, and
1t is not always that even the gifted
letter-writer can afford to lose that Incl
tant 1t is only the correspondent par ex-
cellence who knows how to attain the per-
lection of his art by writing delightfully."- of
nothing, If. indeed, that may be called
nothing which affords him a means for the
employment of his delicate perceptions.
For the saving quality of the genuine let
ter is in the ability of its author to put

make his little fishes talk like whales, but
he should, as Goldsmith himself knew how
to do, make his letters of perpetual interest
because of the aptness of their style to the
simplicity of their thought.
