HEARTss-EASE.

Some think it's gold, some think it's fame That most invites to play the game. A few, very few, guess, Are bent on finding happiness. Yet. after all, the dearest prize That in this mortal journey lies Is happiness. What boots applause. A wide renown. the wealth that awes, If one whose fortune seems so fair Doth secret gyves of trouble wear, And though placed high on honor's roll, No sweet content is in his soul.

 I have always believed that the brain and the talk of Lord Bacon inspired and furnished much of the thought and the detail of the Shakesperian production, whether or not he wrote the same.

Total number of items

A writer in the Political Quarterly took similar census, and he arrived at the conclusion that the newspaper needs of the various American cities differ, and the newspapers can always be trusted to furnish what readers want. And yet there isa certain similarity in American newspapers. just as there is in English newspa- pers, or French newspapers.
 One great general rule exists nearly everywhere namely, the readers mold newspaper much more than a news paper molds it's readers. But after all newspapers defy classification be- cause they are published as a rule for all sorts and conditions of peo- pie. With few exceptions only a nsIs. paper Pnssfr reads 55iT- 55iT ratber-g glances at every item and article in newspa per. Others read what suits then best Some read one thing, some an other. All do not search the columns for reports of crimes and horrors Some do not read such reports at all newspaper, in other words, aims tc present what its readers want, know ing full well that what one reader  wants the next may not want to the end of the list There is no excess of crimes and scandals in reputable American newspapers and they are steadily climbing toward a higher level
