X W . - X .1 I'll ' 1 - perience give facility; but the qualification IS innate, or is never manifesteu. On the London daily, papers all the great historian novelists, poets, " essayists, and writers of travel,, have been tried, and nearly all have failed. Wc might say all; for, after a dis play of brilliancy, brief but grand, th ey died out literally.. Their resources were exhaus ted; . "I can" said the late editor of the Times, to Moore, 'find any number of men of genius to write for me but very seldom one ma'n.of common 8en8e.,' The "thun derers' in the Times, therefore, have, so far 4s we know, been men bf common sonso. Nearly all .successful editors have been men ofthis discretion. Campbell, Carlyle, Bu! wer, and D'Israeli failed; Barnes, "Sterlir g and Philips succeeded. In ErrglUnd eilitorn rarely write for their journals. They rratl select and "cut out the; work." In '"this country, with a few exceptions, editors havo not only to read, select and 'cut out the workp'Mut do the writing too. On the whole, American editors are the hardest, writing men in the world. Tht:, Power of thk Paess.
