WF.DN KSBAY MORNING, APRIL '2B. 1868,
Rejected Manuscripts.
With Some Specimens in Prose and Poetry.
Every large newspaper office at each pe
riodical sweeping and scrubbing and general
clearing up, sends off lo the waste-paper
buyer, or consigns to the flames, or bestows
upon its devil, among its cart-full of odds
and ends some bushels of rejected manu
scripts, on white paper and grey, red paper
and speckled, ladies’ note aud legal cap,
brown paper and every kind of paper. Some
of it is in pencil and some in bright iuk, and
some in writing fluid just gone with the
consumption.
There in the cart, or into the flames, or.
greater disgrace, iuto the custody of the of
fice’s very devil, go the hopes of some, the
pride of others ; perhaps some productious
ot days and nights of unremmitted toil, and
excruciating brain-racking.
But it can’t be helped. It stands to rea
son that no contributions are ever rejected
wbeu, iu the judgment ot the editor, tbeir
publicatiou would be of advantage, and it
is not reasonable to suppose articles will be
accepted that will not be beneficial.
A large class of contributors make great
mistakes. They forget that the proprietors
own the paper, and that, as depending on
the public lor their patronage, they will de
termine for themselves, or through their
editois, what the iuUrests of the public re
quire. Then they otlen attempt to transfer
the freedom of the advertising department
to the editorial columns, which will uot an
swer. They write articles about something
not of public interest that would cover a
page, and take one printer nearly a week lo
set up. They use gross personalities, and
give merely a worn Je plume, with no legiti
mate siguatuie. They seud beastly poetry,
aud want pay for it; and villainous mang
lings of plagiariz and prose, with a request for
fifty papers, aiid a promise to write more.
The love-dittyisls are the most fearful of the
most troublesome class of uu-wanted con
tributors. They force on us the most sick
ening of pap, aud curdled at that, aud when
we tell them their poetry won’t do, it must
be that they gently weep. Then at the
other extreme are the blood or satisfaction
class, whose manuscript is like a hoise-pis
tol, charged with fearful accusations and
dire imprecatious, wadded down with dread
ful in inualiona. Old fogies write scathing
broadsides at us, aud every enterprising
business man under some caption like this:
‘•Modern Upstarts and Modern Innovations,”
in which it is assumed that nobody under
sixty knows aught, and that no customs not
sixty years old should be tolerated. Why
don’t they go further, while they are about
it, and eat with their fingers, aud all that
sort of thiug? These manuscripts are often
curious tor their archaisms, but are usually
very lengthy.
But wu started to give some samples of a
large pile of “rejected manuscripts’’ wliielr
we have just revised. Premising thut we
always return such documents when they
are worth it, we will give specimens of some
uureturned ones :
First we eliminate an application for the
position of Assistant Editor. The writer
assumes that we shall of course take him,
and alter he has appointed himself with rare
self-possession, he proceeds to direct us to
secure a first class boarding pluce for him,
as he will he along with his baggage in a
a few days. He says :
“I know 1 cau laid your paper up, for tho’ not a
pro eslierual jurimlist i kuow wbait tile peplu want
1 ca i write * u anny subject, in Prose i r poe ry 1 in
close a pit cool blank verse, when you cau judge It
is good. Tilt; reason t never hav wrot more—it is
becaus 1 haint needed to do it £ nut now i feel like
trying iit istial double yourc.i'culashin iu i umullis."
The individual came, and as the horse meD
say, was a pretty good looker. But that
letter killed him, if even he did write it, as
he said, “iu a great hurry.” Wo ascertained
that he was a dry goods drummer by pro
fession.
Here is an article on “The Condition of
the Country.” The Lord knows who wrote
it or where it came from. It commences
with the granting ot the English Constitu
tions, spends a good deal ot time ou the last
William, gives, without much epitomizing,
a history of ihe Colonies in America, the
American devolution, the formation of the
national government, the subsequent quar
rels, the dual breach, the Confederate war,
the surrender, the reconstruction measures,
and of everything we all know aboil!, and
gravely winds up with the only point in tin;
thirty-two pages of foolscap ; and to show
what they were all written to arrive at, we
give the closing sentence :
“Is all lbi« right ? Where are we driving to ?
Whither are we drifting ? Have w« pilots who yeo
the breakers hbead ? I tear that prosperity b,s left
our quee happy laud, Mint that we shall lio’er again
be kuown as a p overfill people ’’
Here comes one from an indignant trades
man. It breathes direst veugeance in two
pages against a rival. The public are in
formed that he is a liar, a swindler, a cheat,
dirty, notorious in the neighborhood for his
bad habits. The writer demands that this
shall appear as an editorial, and iu his ac
companying note says;
“If yon knnwed that iffau as well as 1 do you would
done it before. 1 odd lihu yesteid ty I would put a
a piece in niper übow. him, and He said I couident
Ilf you don’t inset t it lie stop uiy paper.’’
This manusciipt was not relurned but a
note sent informing the pariy that as his ar
ticle had been positively rejected, he might
avoid serious trouble by settling his account
at our office before stopping his paper. la
there such baseness iu the human mind? We
have always had a wicked desire to send
that manusci ipt of editorial and letter to that
Man, hut as it would have been untight, as
Artt mns Ward would say, we have kept it
sacred.
The bad poetical contributions have not
geueralty point enough to them to be funny
even iu their absurdity, their meaning is so
used up iu the desperate struggle for rhymes.
But some excite our mirth equal to Tom
Hoods’s best.
One is entitled “The Sea of Love.” It
opens bravely. This is the first stanza :
The mighty sea oflove, with wondrous tides.
Is sternly junl to tuu an drain;
'Tis laving at this moment Saturn’s sides,—
’ns ill my bluod an brain.
Now that is what our esteemed friends of
the pit would call bully. It is slightly of
the mystic-figurative order, but anything of
that kiud goes well. Yet that particular
ttanza seemed to have something familiar
about it. After fruitless inquiries among
the poetically eiudite, and futile efforts to
gain a clue from poetical dictiouaries, whicli
have everything in them one don’t want, we
finally, following the stars, treed the lines in
Alexander’s Drama of Life. But here is
the second stanza :
fie my physicl »n, ob my loved one be, —
Thou onlv canal elf ct a cu'-e ;
And wc will lei the whole world ace,
What Love la, holy, perfect, pure.
And ten or fifteen wore veraes, growing
more and more mauldin aa the muse gets in
toxicated with the theme.
Bead this sample—
Awril ’roua ’mong the orbs of quizzing eky,
Imperious Jupiter makes debut ,
With supercilious grace and ostentation.
Tbe feeble moon bide-* then her face abash’d
For though diminuitive by her broad ahai e,
kibe aeea that In brilliancy that eonqueretlu
That aud a yard or two more like it, as evi
dently better adapted to sum; astronomical
journul.
We I ave not gone through a third the pile.
We have not alluded to quack-mediciue let
ters, and those about patent pullcrs-ou of stock
ings, aud electrical perspiration dryers, and
gift enterprises, because they are usually ad
dressed to the business department of the of
fice, with the thrilling information that by
inserting an advertisement to the amount of
several hundred dollars, we shall receive oui
pay in the wares, on sending a cash order for
a duplicate amount. But we must allude to
one kindred epistle, when, as the ministers
say, “we close ’our illustrations.
Dr. Parr, a sort of pyromancer, we judge,
furnishes us a long editorial, which bo says
will be of great utility to the human race,
and that as he has a great affection for Sa
vannah in general, and this paper in partic
ular, he will furnish it to it. He has no per
sonal interest in the discovery. Anew
science is found called Pyrology. Under it—
Gre.it cures can be cflfectod, alt sickness prevented.
The treatment consists exclusively iu a wise admin
istration ot tile laws of heat-. By it a person can be
kept ruon hs alive without food or water. There is
every hope while warmth remains. Further devel
opments are to he made in another ariicle.
This one occupies many pages, and art
fully saudwiclied into the middle is a flash
advertisement for Dr. Purr, who is the ouly
person that knows anything about it, aud
who will give any information on receipt of
one dollar, directed to box eleven million
seven thousand and something, New York.
Go on, Doctor; if you can find fools enough
to make a living out of that way, we are
willing, but dou’t seud us any mure pyrite
contributions.
We are obliged to reject many worthy ar
ticles from esteemed contributors. Borne ar
rive so late their conteuts are old. The ar
guments or facts in others have often been
anticipated substantially in our own edito
rials. Borne have a tinge of personality not
intended perhaps lo be offensive, but which
may seem to us indelicate and uot desirable
for publication. Borne have uot the proper
vouchers of names.
Os all classes of communications we moat
desire those containing news, which if au
thenticated are never rejected. Prom plan
ters and manufacturers we are glad to obtain
statistics of their productious and opera
tions, and also their views on the topics
they are necessarily familiar with. We so
licit contributions from our professional
friends —lawyers, clergyrueu, physicians—
their communications are almost always
welcome. Thoso attending conventions or
meetings of any kind confer great favors by
sending reports promptly, and they are al
ways as promptly published. We are glad
always lo receive expressions of their views
from experienced statesmen, qualified to
discuss the subject, on the state of the coun
try. But we desire no misanthropical la
mentiugs that we are overwhelmed .vitu ruin,
and no remedy suggested. We wish no
milk-and-water moist-eyed loafers to but den
us with the perusal of their sickening pro
ductions. Among other things we request
all contiihutors to avoid writing ou both
sides of the paper—so will the Editor be
prepossessed in their favor, the ’compositor
rejoice, aud the devil withhold his curse.
