Advice to young men about to grad-

good specimen of the practical sort is
that of Rev. Dr. Rexford, who advises

home, and run into debt for the furni—
ture, if necessary. The same advice
will apply to the sweet girl graduates,
we suppose.

A certain individual is quoted as re-
fusing information to the press for, the;
reason that “the newspapers never re-
port anything accu1ately. ” If this
sweeping statement were to a limited
extent true, it would be principally be-
cause -of the very fact that narrow
minded persons refuse to give the news-
papers, the public, information to
which the newspapers and the public
are perfectly entitled. It is rarely that
the blame of gross inaccuraCy really
belongs to newspapers ; it is oftener
the fault of those who should be cheer-
fully willing to add to the sum of pub-
lic knowledge whenever they can, but
who superciliously or stupidly, or arm
rogantly refuse to do so.
