UTILITY OF A ? E W S P A P E R . The newspaper is the great instru

ment of civilization. All the hooks ever written are but a feather in the scale,

compared with newspapers, as a means

of affecting the mass. What is the cir

culation even of a popular novel, to that

of a paragraph whien runs the round of the press? The one is read by thousands, the other by millions. It is almost entirely to the influence of news

papers that the superior intelligence of

the middle classes is to be attributed, contemptible as may be deemed the information derived from this source. How few are the tradesmen, or even merchants, who have time or inclination to take up a philosophical treatise, and make themselves masters of its contents! Inquire of the most enlightened

of this class if they have read Mill's 'Es

She will even imagine it pretty and picturesque to appear in a cottage, to drop a guinea on a poor man's table, and to receive with blushing modesty, his lavish thanks. But when the effort is really to be made, when she finds that charily involves self denial and exertion that she must rise from her luxurious couch, and soil

iter silken sandals, and encounter, perhaps, rudeness and ingratitude from

the object of her relief ; and thata'd this is to be done without observation or

applause; that there is no one to over

hear her silver voire or to watch her gliding footsteps, or to trace her fairy form, as fh.e passes down the village

streets then her 'plilanlhropic ardor

cools she shrinks from the painful

dutv, and discovers that what is very

interesting and quotic in description, is very dull and irksome in practice. The very morbidness of her sensibility is a bar to the real exercise of hevevoleiiee; she cannot bear to look upon pain; there is so much that is n'Xensive in human misery and unrotr.antic in its detail; there is so much that is appalling in scenes of misery and sickness, and death, that she recoils from the mere observations of such calamities, and shuts her eyes and closes her ears to genuine distress, from the same feelings that cause her to scream at the approach of a spider, or faint at the sight of blood. Vet she delights to nurse imaginary grief, to live in an ideal world, and so to pamper her fancy and excite her sensibility lhat they alone become to her prolific of unhappiness.
