Trl-Wsekly News and Herald. 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.
