From The Delaware Waterman.

In this money-loying country, and ~
these /" hard times" every man is naturally
anxious to get his moneys worth OF every
thing he buys: and no doubt this extends
TO newspapers. Ifa reader expects much
from the writings OF on editor Of talents, or
from the iudicious selections OF one oil taste
and judgement he will in greater or less
degre: be disappointed, if he does not place
him al his ease. But let every one be pune
tual in fulfilling the printers terms-relleve
his mind from the perplexity of constantly
contriying ways and means to raise funds TO
keep his business going-free him from
The anxiety and embarrassment which at
tend laborious and tardy collections and
you then give him some chance TO think,
and use the pen instead ofthe scissors, or
the latter with due elaboration. No one
can write for paper while his hands are
employed in writing bills and his brains in
contriving what 10 do if they are not paid.
The readers interest, then, is obvious-by
paying the editor he becomes entitled TO so
much Of his mind as must otherwise be sp-
pied elsewhere.
~ Though writing bills and duns are
great interruptions to EDITORIAL business, The
writing OF RECEIPTS is very different
thing. The pen runs so glibly over The
paper in such cases, and the mind is so a.
ereeably stimulated thereby, that it is rath
er refreshing than faliguing-a very whole
