the Editors MESSRS EDITORS A recent description in a public print of one of the leading N Y daily newspapers is well calculated to impress mind with the immensity of the ir-fluencci wielded by the press and by establishments of such moth proportions as these In the place note the keenest business tact talent and which are brought to the production of this daily sheet Why these men write with a training of powers y of a Grecian Everything superfluous is ground out with unrelenting severity Nothing prosy or long-winded can abide it They deal in the cream and marrow of things have no tolerance for the bones and of the world What an educating power there is in such a re- gime What wondern it achieves in tho way of simple Just think of papers issued daily from a single Go behind the scenes and witness the ly and vast complex and inanimate by which these are produced and one gets an exalted conception of the need ind of high discipline in the dispelling and of such a ponderous force and the achievement of such high re- sults Not only are no words wasted but minuses and seconds are sharply mised and mechanical put to their fullest service Such thorough tion cannot but be prolific and fully accounts for the results we see And what an agency for good or ill for weal or woe is What an educational force resides in the sheets which compose the daily issue of such a All classes of minds are and influenced daily by pages and to the extent of many thousands If tho influence excited is as in this instance it seems to what a beneficent as well as voluminous i issues from this single source but if otherwise the is not only great but ail much greater as the influenced are more susceptible to evil than to good And as this last is un- universally true how important that this mighty power should be wielded only in the of truth and right What a responsibility rests on those who control ind exert so wide and positive an A single remark may poison of minds An indiscriminate praise of everything for the sake of tage may multitudes in error and confound those whose moral are not robust Whereas faithful fearless discerning would not only expose the pretentious and establish moral distin which would be of the greatest services to those who have not facilities to determine for themselves And when we remei aber that our universal nation with exceptions is reached and largely educated by the paper press not only is the character of that press a transcendent ance but surely a duty is incumbent cm the discerning and influential of the community to pay regard to it by sustaining those who i se their influential position to ish a healthy public sentiment and uphold the right ill nil things while they frown those who are willing for gain to der to the passions of the vile and ger tho the by I sapping itsi foundations in the virtue and of the Who can say how fir dereliction in this respect has in the wide-spread depravation of public morals which the virtuous and patriotic so sincerely deplore Hail not the immense influence of the newspaper press beep and is it not now largely morals of the ple i And does not tho guilt of cing such depraving i influences rest upon many of whom better practice Was to be thrive by age and if we by oar patronage helf to sustain a thing moral tendency ia evil surely the its evil agency is in part chargeable to support Let them the discriminating and patriotic attach due importance to their conduct in this matter as they truth love their country and desire the welfare of their low men Let them discern and make a practical difference bet ween the high-minded honorable who occupy the editorial position and those who being sold themselves for gain willing also to sell virtue truth justice their country all that makes life worth living for Men of both types there and both laboring earnestly and ly foi their ends In a undiscriminating community the better class are in danger of falling be- hind and getting disheartened for want of sympathy and support while reckless en- meets but feeble in avenues to success Be this as it in view of the facts every discerning feeling heart must second the ejaculation God purge and purify so momentous an agency for good or ill as the newspaper press of our country arid put a man difference between him that serveth Thee and him that serveth Thee not J E i Nobby Young Men An exchange remarks in ot discussion of the subject of milo foppery that the young men are certainly not behind the young ladies in their extravagance in dress To be nobby is their chief object in life It is the young men who devote two-thirds of their minds to tho fashion and set of neckties and who are anxious to be that give the balance of their intellectual abilities to the crimes forgery and embezzlement the price of gambling A young desire to bo nobby by which we mean the of o reputation for extravagant ami outer dress in preference to a character for and virtue very often leads him t take other people's bank notes or bonds and if he has no to a term of servitude in a striped woolen tume which is the reverse of nobby To be nobby in the true of that flash word is also to be and to be snobby although it is aot always to be brainless or dishonest is to pass bly current for a fool if not te a knave It is every young man's duty to himself and to society to dress vail to wear neat and comely garments which are pleasing but he becomes offensive whein his raiment and its arrangements entitled to the phrase hobby So important however has the nobby branch of business become that some newspapers live by recording the constant changes in the fashions of penders shirt collars and gaitera and are consulted by the would-be grand young men as to the proper dimensions of loon legs and the correct color of gloves as religiously as the Parisian fashion plates arc inspected by tailors and re Employers cannot be too careful of nobby young men Temptation cannot be always resisted either by weak or im- moral natures The Coal Business The Courier says that tho den cold weather has closed navigation on the canal the last boat load of coal on the 7th Although novation was very
