But gone are childish gambols, And all things fleeting prove — Money, the world, our young days, Keligion, Truth and Love. PAID FOE BY THE PAGE. BY KDWAED S. GOULD. The labourer is worthy of his hire. A man who produces an available " article " for a newspaper or a periodical, is as properly entitled to a pecuniary recompense, as a doctor, or a lawyer, or a clergy- man, for professional services ; or, as a merchant or a mechanic for his transferable property. This is a simple proposition, which... nobody disputes. The rate of such compensation must be a matter of agreement. As between author and publisher, custom seems to have fixed on what an arithmeti- cian would call " square measure," as the basis of the bargain; and the question of adjustment is simplified down to " how much by the column, or the page ?" His system has its advantages in a business point of view ; because, when the price, or rate, is agreed on, nothing remains but to count the pages. Whether the publisher or the writer is benefited by this plan of computation, in a literary point of view, may, however, be doubted.
