Let us discard personalties that would have a tendency to irritate the feelings of any one po-lilicaly, religiously or otherwise. Let us be so careful what we write and how we write that we wont hear any one finding fault with our being harsh or silly, yet let us be brave and not 'rash, courteous but not flattering, plain but not insolent, seeking for the best items in our vicinity, trying hard! to make each Week's communication more interesting than any that preceeded it. Let us search history, read good books and papers and so inform ourselves that we may each week add something to the general fund of needed information so that every reader of the paper will be for its weekly coming and eagerlv devour the correspondent's col urns as a much relished morsel.
