ggpOBTOBIAL QUALIFICATIONS.
Xbe following, from Chamber*’ Jour-
is good, and will well repay read-
. Certain faculties there are a re-
rt,fter must necessarily posaeea, which,
ynot natural, con rarely, if ever, be ac
quired. They may be developed and
proved, if present in some degree;
bat they con scarcely be imparted where
tbe germ itself in altogether wanting,
jj e must possess the faculty of intuitive-
|t seizing upon the essential features of
^ny occurrence which he may be intrusted
to report, whether it lie a single speech,
„! entire meeting, or some important
public affair extending over days, or
even weeks. It would never do for a re
porter, either while an affair was in
progress, or upon its termination, to be
sniiously cogitating within himself as to
irhst he should retain and what he
should reject All this must be settled
by the faculty of which wo are speaking,
and which must attract, as to a focus,
the really important points—grouping
them in their proper order and within
the necessary limits, without loss of
time or any special effort being involved
is the process. He must also have an
intuitive perception of the relative valde
of words with all their shades of mean
ing, so that he may be able to employ
just that particular word which shall
oonvcyto the reader the exact sense
and meaning of the original And With
this litter faculty must be oombioed the
gift of facile expression and natural and
correct arrangement, for woo unto him
if he be under the necessity of writing and
rewriting before he can get his composi
tion into something like proper form,
A reporter, too, -^ requires ^- .well-
balanced mind, a cool head, , and
an impartial judgment We do
not say a reporter should have no fixed
principles, no private opinions of his
own, but he must be careful not to al
low these opinions to influence his re
ports. lln bis degree he should aspire
to something like the impartiality of the
Judge, who, while on the bench, knows
nothing of friend or foe, but decides
simply upon the merits, and altogether
apart from personal considerations. A
reporter also requires to bo nblo to con
centrate his thoughts upon his work in
any circumstances. While others around
him nre in the wildest enthusiasm, be
must be perfectly cool, and absorbed on
ly in his work. An audience, after
having beou held apell-bonnd by some
celebrated orator, may rise to its feet,
and, by vociferous cheering and the
waving of lrnts and handkerchiefs, give
relief to its feelings ; but the reporter
must menutime be careful that lie loses
uot one word of that elaborately pro-
pared and masterly peroration; or, if ho
seek relief, it must be in the stretching
of his cramped fingers, and the re-point
ing of his pencils in readiness for the
next apenkor. At tlio scene of some ter
rible catastrophe, others may indulge in
symptoms of distress ; but the reporter
mast !«■ engaged in taking a survey of
.ii! tin- surroundings, and nt the same
time making himself acquainted with all
the painful and oftentimes sickening de
tails. In times of political excitement
and contest, the caution, prudence and
judgment of the reporter arc frequently
put to the severest tests ; and it will lie
well for him in such times if ho benr in
mind the old maxim, to have long cars
and a short tongue.

What a blessed thing it is that kind
nature takes away our desire for Iroiio
.e we grow older, and begin to wear tho
sere and yellow leaf. I don't care to
dance now that tho spring in my ex
tremities is gone and there’s lend in my
shoes, and I don’t lument that old ago is
creeping upon mo, for I have many now
pleasures, and one of tlieso is to look on
and tee other people hnppy. Enjoy
your day, whother it bo in youth or old
age; enjoy every day, moke the most of
it; get all out of life you con. It won’t
pay to always be hankering after some
thing or grieving over troubles that
haven’t como and may never come. I
know people who lot tho dark side of
life cheat ’em out of every day’s happi-
!:■ -s, who ponder and fret over little
ti "'ibles until they swell up like dried
apples and get to be big ones, and they
eun’t eat or sleep in any peace.
Life to them is a grindstone, and the
grit of it is always cutting away little by
little until tliero's nothing loft. Enjoy
the day; get some good out of it even ii
it’s nothing but contentment for good
health and being out of jail. All old
gentleman of three score years and ton
was here last night—came five miles
jest to see the young people happy—and
lie wns bright us the full moon, and it
was a pleasure to see him and listen to
him discourse ti|sm life and how to live
and how to farm, and so on. He's seen
tumble enougn, goodness knows, nut ho
never took it to heart or surrendered his
manhood
