I was picking my way along a rough piece olf road in the Kent ucky mountains, says a Star writer, most of which was In a creek bed ip summe;, and wasn’l much of any place when the waters were up, when an old mountaineer, clad in homemade jeans and riding a mule, came down a path that led out of a long hollow between the hills and joined me. Naturally I was glad to see him, for the somber loneliness of these mountains is almost Intolerably depressing at times, and any kind of company is , welcome. As wa went on up the creek the old fellow followed about ten feet behind me, owing to the narrowness of the way. We talked about everything in sight, awl at last got down to personalities. "I suppose you are a married man ?" 1 called back to him. “I shore pirn,” he- replied, though whether it was a tone of joy or not J could hardly say. “That’s where you have the advantage of me,” 1 confessed, without-com-pulsion. “1 am a bacheJor.” "Well, you shore don’t live nowars irf these parts, do ver?" he asked, with considerable confidence. "No, but I don’t see what that has to do with it.” ‘‘That’s raze jou hoi n’t never tried hit. A man jist couldn't live in these here mountains without he had some sort uv comp’ny that hadn’t no other place to go.” "Well, it’s ratherIbheaome anywhere, all by one’s self," 1 admitted. "1 reckon mehbe it is. but ef thar's somethin’ else goin’ on I reckon tha Wight l>e sdme gittin’ along without bein’ hitched 1o a red-headed woman, with a temper to match.” Evidently the old man’s argument was leading him into the betrayal of domestic secrets. “1 know some very charming women w ho have red hair.’-* I said, consolingly. "But you huin’t married to it. lied hair may do for 73 or 1**0 meals, but hit ain’t no good fora stiddy diet.” “Have you any children?” I asked, willing to veer somewhat from the subject of hair. “Yes: five boys, the youngest un just uv age. Leastwise." and the old man stopped a moment in thought, “leastwise thar vvu/ five when 1 left home last Sunday." “Why. what’s the matter; any cf them sick?”

‘’No.” he hesitate*], “hut you know how things is in these parts.” can't sav that 1 do. Is it unhealthy?" “Well, kinder.” he laughed. “You see. iny boys has l*on havin' some 4rouble with ther neighbors furder up the crick, but ez long ex I was around they kinder he!’ in; howsumdever. ther inatnmy hui aggin’ ’em on. fur sh^ hates 'em up-crick folks w usser'n pi/011,.

! TAIMAGE’S SERMON. -— f The Divine Mission of the American Newspaper Press. A to tbs Greatest Afcat ef ClvUtmatlaa— The Wise and Successful Editor • Ml(ht; fower Throughout tb* land. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage took “The American Newspaper Press” as the subject of a recent sermon in Washington, : basing his remarks on the texts: “And the wheels were full of eyes. Ezekiel. K., It. “For all the Athenians nnd strangers i which were there spent their time in nothing j else but either to tell or to hear some new j thing.’’—Acts. zvlL. 81. What is a preacher to do when he finds two texts equally good and suggestive? In that perplexity I take both- Wheels full of eyes? What but the wheels of a newspaper printing | press? Other wheels are blind. They rollon, pulling or crushing. The manufacturer’s wheel; how it grinds the j operator with fatigues, and rolls over, ' nerve and muscle and bone and heart, not knowing what it does. The sew-ing-machine wheel sees not the aches and pains fastened to it—tighter than ] the band that moves it, sharper than the needle whichit plies. Every moment of every hour of every day of every month of every year there are hundreds of thousands of wheels of mechanism, wheels of enterprise, wheels of hard work, in. motion, but they are eyeless. Not so the wheels of the printing press. Their entire business is to look and report. They are full of optic nerves, frota axle to periphery. They are like those spoken of by Ezekiel as full of eyes. Sharp eyes, near-sighted, far-sighted. They look up. They look down. Thejr look far away. They take in the next street anif the next hemisphere. Eyes of criticism, eves of investigation; eyes that twinkle with mirth, eyes glowering with indignation, eyes tender 'with love; eyes of suspicion, eyes of hope: blue eyes, j black eyes, green eyes; holy eyes, evil eves, sore eyes, political eyes, literary I eyes, historical' eyes, religious eyes; j eyes that see every thing. "And the | wheels were fall of eves.” llut in my seco>nd text is the world's i cry for the newspaper. Paul describes j a class of people in Athens who spent j their time either in gathering the news ; or telling it. Why especially ip Athens? j 1 leva use the more intelligent people be- j come, the more inquisitive they are— j •> not about small things, but great j things. ’•*

is the question ncnv most frequently asked—What is tlie,news? To answer that cry in the text for the newspaper the centuries have put their wits to work. China'first succeeded, and has at Pekin a newspaper that has been printed every week for 1,000 years— printed on silk. Rome succeeded by publishing the “Acta Diurna." in the ^ume column putting fires, murders, marriages and tempests. France" succeeded by a physician writing out the news of the day for his patients. Eng.an l sue e de l under Queen Eliza bet ti in first publishing the news of the Spanish Arina la, and going on until she had enough enterprise.‘when the''battle, of Waterloo was fought, deciding the destiny of Europe, to give it one-third of a column in the London “Morning Chronicle,-' about ks much as the newspaper of our day gives of a smalt fire. America succeeded by Benjamin Harris' first Weekly paper called “Public Occurrences," published in Boston in 161*0, and by the first daily, the “American Advertiser," published in Philadelphia in i 7H4. The newspaper did not suddenly 1 spring upon the world, but came gradually. The geneaojogical line of the newspaper is this: The Adam of the race was a c ire {ft at or news-letter, created by Divine impulse in human nature; and the circular Ik* gat the pamphlet, and the pamphlet begat the juarteriy. aad thi* quarterly begat the. weekly, and the w cvkl.y;begat the semiweekly, and the semi-wVt'ekiy begat the daily. But alas! by what a struggle it came to its present development! No sooner had i > power been demonstrated than ty ranny and superstition shackled , it. There is notning that despotism $0 fears and hates as a printing press. It has too many eyes iu its wheel. A great writer declared Jthat the king of Naples made it unsafe for him to write anything but natural history. Austria could not endure Kossuth's journalistic pen, pleading for the re lemption of Hungary. Napoleon I., trying to keep his iron heel bn the neck of nations, said: “Editors are the regents of sovereigns and the tutors of nations. and are only fit for prison." But the battle for the freedom of the press was fought out inthecourt rooms of England and America, and decided before this century began by Hamilton's eloquent plea for J. Peter Zenger's “Gaaette" in America, and Erskine's advocacy of the freedom of publication in England. These were the Marathon and Thermopylae in which the freedom of the press was established in the United States and Great Britain. and ail the powers of earth and bell will never again be able to put on the handcuffs and hopples of literary and political despotism. It is notable that Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of American Independence, wrote also: “If I Had to choose between a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government. I should prefer the latter.” Stung by some base fabrication coming to us in print, we come to write or speak of the unbridled printing press; or. our new bo.*k ground up by unjust critic, we come to write or speak of the unfairness of the printing press; or. perhaps, through our own indistinctness of utterance, we are reported as saying just the opposite of wbat we did say, and' there is a small riot of semicolons, hyphen# and commas, and we came to speak o* write of the blundering printing press; or, seeing a paper filled with divorce cases or social scan

V dal, in apeak and write of the filthy printing pres*; or, seeing a journal, through bribery, wheel round from one political side to toe other in one night, we speak of the corrupt printing press, and many talk about the lampoonery, and the empiricism, and the sans-cou-lotteism of the printing press. ^ But I discourse now on a subject you have-never heard—the immeasurable and everlasting blessing of a good newspaper. Thank God for the wheel full of eyes. Thank God that we dp not have—like the Athenians—to go about to gather up and relate the tidings of the day, since the omnivorous newspaper does both for us. The grandest temporal blessing that God has given to the nineteenth centuryfis the newspaper. We would have better appreciation of this blessing if we knew the money, the brain, fhe losses, the exasperations, the anxieties, the wear and tear of heartstrings involved in the production of a gjbod newspaper. Under the impression that almost anybody can make a newspaper. scores of inexperienced capitalists every year enter the lists, and. consequently, during the last few year?*, a newspaper has died almost every day. The disease is epidemic. The large papers swallow the smaller ones, the whale taking down 50 minnows at one swallow. With more than 7|000 dailies and weeklies in the Uqijted States and Canadas, they are but thirty-six half a century old. Newspapers do not average more than five years* existence. The most of them die of cholera infantum. It is high time that the people found out tjhat the most successful way to sink mojhey and keep it sunk is to start a newspaper. There comes a time when altuost every one is smitten with the oewspaper mania, and starts one, or have stock in one he must or die. | The course of precedure is about this: A literary man has an agricultural or scientific or political or re|igous idea which he wants to ventilate. He has no money of his own—literary men seldom have. But'he talks of his ideas among confidential friends until they become inflamed with the idea, and forthwith they buy type and press, and rent composing room, and gather a corps of editors, and with,] a prospectus that proposes to cure everything, the first copy is ilungfon the attention of an admiring world. After awhile one of the plain stockholders finds out that no great revolution has been effected by this daily] or weekly publication; that neither $un nor moon stands still; that the world goes on lying and cheating and stealing just as it did before the first issue. The aforesaid matter-of-fact stockholder wants to sell his stoek, but nobody wants to buy, and other stockholders get infected and sick of ncivspaperdom, and an enormous bill lap the paper factory rolls into lan avalanche, and the printers refuse to work until back wages are paid up, and the compositor bows to the managing editor and the managing editor bows to the editor-in-chief, and fhe editor-in-chief bows to the directors, and the directors bjow to the worldjjat large, and all the subscribers wonder why their paper dosen't come. The world will have to learn that a newspaper is as much an, institution ias the bank of England or Yale College, and is ( not an ’ enterprise. If you have the aforesaid agricultural, or scientific, or religions, |or political idea to ventilate, you had better charge upon the world through the columns already established, j It is folly for anyone who can not succeed at anything else to try newsbaperdora. If you can not climb the Hill back of your house it is folly to try the sides of the Matterhorn. To publish a newspaper requires fhe skill, the precision, the boldness, fhe vigilance, the strategy of a command-er-in-chief. To edit a newspaper [requires, that one be a statesman, jau essayist, a geographer, a statistician, and, in acquisition, ency eloped iac. To man, to govern, to propel a newspaper until it shall be a fixed institution. a national fact, demand more qualities than any business on easth. If you feel like starting any newspaper, secular or religious, understand that vou are being threatened with sdifteningof the brain or iunacy.andtorokving your poeketbook into your wife's lap, "start for some insane asylum before -you do something desperate. Meanwhile, as the dead newspapers, week by .week, are carried out to fhe burial, all the living newspapers gijye respectful Abituary, telling when they were born and when they died. Tfjhe best printer’s ink should give at deist one stickful of epitaph. If it was a good paper, say. “Peace to its ashes.’* If it was a bad paper, I suggest tjhe epitaph written for Francis Chartreuse.: “Here continueth to rot t|he hotly of Francis Chartreuse, who, with an inflexible constancy and uniformity of life,persisted in the practice of every human vice, except prodigality alnd hypocrisy: his insatiable avarice exempted him from the first, his matchless impudence from the second.*’l: I say this because I want you to knbw - that a good, healthy, long-lived, entertaining newspaper is not an easy blessing, but one that comes to us through the fire.

Again. a good newspaper is a useful mirror of life as it? is. ltNis sometimes complained that newspapers report tjae evil when they oug'ht only to repojrt the good. They must report the evil as well as the good, or how shall tire know what is to be reformed, wftat guarded against, what fought down? A newspaper that pictures only the honesty and virtue of society is a misrepresentation. That family is best prepared for the duties of life whieh. knowing the evil, is taught to select the good. Keep children under the impression that all is fsiir and right in the world, and when they j go out into it they will be as poorly prepared to struggle with it as a child who is thrown into the middle of the Atlantic and told to learn how toswign ; Our only complaint is when sin is made j attractive and morality dull; when | vice is painted with great headings | and good deeds are put in obscure cor- i nera: iniquity set up in great primer ]

and righteousness ia nonpareil. Sin is loathsome; make jit loathsome. Vir* tue is beautiful; make it beautiful. Another step forward for newspa perdom will be when in our colleges and universities we open opportunities for preparing candidates for the editorial chair. We have in such institutions, medical departments, law departments, why not editorial departments? Do the legal and healingprofessions demand more culture and* careful training than the editorial or reportorial professions. 1 know men may tumble by what seems accident into a newspaper office as they may tumble into other occupations, but Jit woul d be an incalculable advantage if those proposing a newspaper life had an institution to which they might go to learn the qualifications, the responsibilities, the trials, the temptations, the dangers, the magnificent opportunities of newspaper be a lectureship in life. Let there which there shall appear the leading editors of 4he the story of victories, their they worked found out to be United States, telling :their struggles, their mistakes, how and ^vhat they the best way of working. There will be strong men who will climb up editorial power men climb up without such aid into and efficiency. So do to success in other branches by siteejr grit. But if we want learned lawyers and and ministers!, need learned editors, who oe fluencea hundre put the truth t the most potent earth is a good potent influence The best wav institutions to make artists and doctors we much more institutions to make icnpy a position of indfold greater. I do not >o strongly when I say influence ior good on editor, and the roost for bad is a bad one. to reinforce and improve the newspaper is to endow editorial professorships. When will Princeton, or Harvard, or Yale, or Rochester lead the way? Another blessi ng of the newspaper is thp foundation it lays for accurate history of the ti We for the m< about the age newspaper, and the prejudice historian. *• But years what the historian the people the le News-Letter, th and the America Victory, and and Washington's Boston massacre Revere’s Island rebellion liua nullification future of ivhen hundred eau newspapers all things oceurr headings!
