(Selections roe Neaspnpcrs.
Most people think Hint tile selection of
sullablo mutter for it newspaper Is tho cas-
lcHt.pnrt of the business, llmv great hit
error, To look over fifty oxchiingo papers
dally, from which to select enough for one,
especially xvlion ihompcstlon is not xvlmt
slmll ho, hut xrlmt shall not be seicoted, Is
not n very ciisy task. If ex’ery porson xvho

xyo should hnvo less complaints. Not un-
(Vequently is it tho case tlmt nn editor looks
ox’er Ids exchanges fbr something Interest
ing mid finds absolutely nothing. Every
paper is drier tlinn n contribution box, and
yet something must bo Imd;' his paper
must bo out xvltli sohicthing In It, nud lie
does tho host ho can. To nn editor xvho
Ims tho least care in xvlmt ho selects, tlie
xvrlllng lie Ims to do Is thn enBicst part of
his inbor,
Every subscriber thinks the paper is
printed for Ids benefit, nnd if there Is noth
ing Hint suits him, it must bo—It is good
for nothing. Ab many subscribers ns nn
editor Ims, so many tnstes lie lms to con
sult. Ono xrnnts something smart nnd
something sound. One likes anecdotes,
fun nnd frolic, nud his next door neighbor
xvondors Hint n man of sense xvlll put sucli
stuff in Idspnpor. Something spicy comes
out, nnd the editor is a blackguard. Next
comes something argumentative, nnd tho
editor isadull.fool. And so, bctxrccn them
all, tile poor fellow gets tho worst of It.—
Tlmy never rolled xvlmt docs not please
them will plenso tho next man; but they
insist if tliq paper docs not stttt them it is
good for nothing, and stop taking it imme
diately.
One of tho hinny curious notions preva

thrown himself" on some trivnl nflliir.
Tho chances nro Hint lie Ims nmd»n long,
rambling story of what should imvo been
told In n fexv crisp sentences, if nl all, and
tho editor is obliged to lick him iuto shape,
or let him ho laughed at hy tlie critics of

to “fill up” is not tho Joy of n Journalist.

Ruing a young indy of spirit and resolu
