| Show T to 0 correspondents within the last few months several communications coin coln have been received which altho aitho very well written their subject matter in our ep opinion is not of sufficient importance to mankind to warrant their publication in making this statement we wish those interested te to understand distinctly that literary efforts are duly appreciated and knowingly 0 we would not say nor do anything 0 that would have a tendency to discourage any human being in the exercise of any gift which he or they may possess for doing good but on the contrary we wish to extend to all especially to such such buch as have a taste for literature every facility to improve upon the talents they may severally have that ma may y at any time be in in our province to grant we sincerely hope that the number of our correspondents respondents will increase hereafter and not diminish and if those who have or take an interest int prest in passing 0 events and have energy emoula enough to inscribe upon paper a brief but comprehensive account of whatever may transpire in their vict vicinage inage of interest to community will take the trouble to do so and forward the same for publication or notice their communications will receive proper attention Ef Effa fusions on other s subjects than historical are ever t thankfully hank fully received and whenever they are considered of sufficient im and time and space favor their publication the authors have the pleasure p leasure of seeing and ailers ef of reading 0 them in the columns of the maug but bat if from any inhibiting cause coin corn of any kind hind are arc not published the writers should not na be discouraged but bat try again and continue to try and to improve till they produce something worthy of accey tation there are subjects however that are of greater importance and are far more interesting to the reading portion of community than th an others herb hers and such as may ma have a tendency to cultivate and improve the taste and increase the vie desire that any person may have for tel i are more worthy the attention of correspondents who write for publication than subjects of minor consequence that may maybe be exclusively sectional or provincial and personal in their operation or application many nany persons the world over wish to become poets and spend much time in writing rhymes without understanding the rules 0 of versification and seemingly L without knowin knowing 0 the deanin me meaning anin 0 or force of tho the words they make nse of in tb their el r compositions most of the time ume in or originating hnatin such productions is lost to those who i white write them and had bad better be spent in acquiring a proper knowledge of language and of certain principles without understand ing which they cannot intelligibly r express their lda ida ideas elther either in prose or so bong song n g 57 1 l it is the duty of int intelligent ellig ent beings beino s to improve u pan every good gift with which they may be dowed endowed tui tai and those who have a gift for communicating muni cating useful knowledge to others either orally or by spreading their ideas on paper should do so on or all proper occasions or whenever eveert it will do any material 0 good but with the thi best bast pump that was ever constructed water cannot be drawn from a dry well or reservoir neither can gold be taken from a repository where none has been treasured I 1 it is an old saying if it is not written in in the th scriptures that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speak speake eth tb which if true would induce the belief when a len ien lengthened 11 account of some trivial affair was presented to the eye or ear describing it minutely with willi its concomitants that such things 0 were uppermost in the mind of the authors and the same rule will apply to any other subject of which a person may write or speak soch such being the case too much care cannot well be taken in divulging 0 unnecessarily thoughts a and sentiments that will not benefit others and which if kept bidden bladen forever from the eyes and ears of all living no injury but much good would accrue to the individual in whose bosom they remained secreted and in mr our opinion when men are operated upon as was solomon when he wrote what eing eing king james translators were pleased to call his canticle of canticles Canti cles cies or when they haxe haw been beef unsuccessful in many any plan or scheme not I 1 wooing if any peculiar impressions have been made their minds mind s by the

favor of their exposing 0 what the world usually call human weaknesses unless they are very cautious about what they say and do under such circumstances these remarks are intended to be general and not special nor personal in their application and trust they will not offend nor discourage courage a any y one who at any time may have made an an effort to write something that might be considered of sufficient clent cleDt importance to be published for the perusal of others to stifle tiel genius or to extinguish the fire of hope that may be burning in the bosom of any human being whose volition is to do good is foreign forel forein 0 n to our desire and intention the re ret 1 1 verse is is our aim but when the intellectual I 1 i flame is ban being baing 0 fanned if proper direction is not given to it the results produced may not be ov 0 any material benefit to those concerned to those who have occasionally favored us with communications we say go ahead and continue in well doing and to those who keep their talents hid and arul do not make good use of D 1 what they have been endowed with or may have acquired we repeat our request for the them to come conre con re out and show
