Tbe intelligence of official actions
of executive officers, being very im
portant, is speedily printed and
hastily carried not onlj to every cit

many dreary pathways and who
stands an a medium and a hope for
future prosperity, speed thy power.
While tho influence of the press is
busily engaged in the welfare of hu
man nature, there is found an op
posing element seeking to lower
rather than to elevate. We regret
to say that the publication of ob
scene literature, the distribution of
exciting stories and worthless novels
has borne heavily upon tho ethics of
the nat ion. Oh 1 tho deplorable uso
m.'i'lo of this grand invention. Look
itito the pauper Iiouhpb, peep into
the asylum, read tho papers to
loarn of the tho suicides and fleet
to what an extent this great power
is abused. Head the papers if you
deHiro to learn of tho cruelty and
barbarous propensities of foreign
nations. Mean thn pages of tho
dailies and ponder over the injuries
dono weak human natuio in tho ro
citul of murderous assaults and
vicious deeds.
As the world speeds on in its rap
id progress, tho press very grate
fully notes theso steps of advance
ment. As tho philosopher seeks out
his discoveries, as tho statesman re
veals his measures, as tho farmer
earns t.ow ideas from experience,
the invention of the press sends the
flu. I tidings to the homes and hearts
f all intelligent people. While one
day, a .Stanley may barely escape
'with his life in fur off suuuy climes
among the dusky Africans tho next
d y the intelligence floats over nil
civilized nations of tho globe. The
potent power of the press, 'tis true,
mis us degenerating tendencies as
well as its loftier themes, but in or
der that wo may enjoy its pleasures
and profits, wo must accept only tho
latter. Truly tho press has a pe
culiar power unsurpassed by
other.

Influence of ilia Press.
The printing press exerts a power
that but few people can nppitciiite.
It spreads its influence broadcast
over this smiling land and seeks the
firesides on foreign shores. Not one
homo exists without fueling the
radiating impulso of this great fac
tor. It is the menus of speedy com
munication to tho masses, and the
accurate transport of intelligence to
thoso who aspiro to distinction. It
servos as a powerful agont in pro
moting couteutiuent and happiness
to millions who would otherwise ac
rent lifo as a burden.
Tho domineering power of tho
press extends 1 1 u anus in
miuiv directions. Tho publication
of thousands of religious uewspa
pers, periodicals nud books that aro
found in tho hands of every unris-
tim is duo almost entirely to this in
rrnlion.
Tho Bible itself with its divino iu-
Bpiration, is pi luted so cheaply that
its power and teaching is not kept
lone-inii heart. Tho time
Kpeut in perusing tho products of
the press tends to occupy tho mind
of tho reader and counteracts tho im
moral tendencies so of ton concomi
tant with idlo braius.
In tho cultivation of the intellect

pinion to tho who.'l and promotes a
great degree of excellence and as
