PAYING DEBTS.

1t is fact, VIC believe, that newspa-
per debts are held by large majority of
those who contract them, of inferior OBJ
legation to almost any other. 1t is not
the less true, that upon every principle
Of business, and in the strictest right,
they are Of as high obligation ns debts Of
any description can be.
| A man pays cash for his daily food and
clothing, and for all mechanic works
lie pays interest ~ adrance upon his
bank debts, or his credit is dishonOred.
So far from paying in advance, many Of
our friends think they act literally if they
pay for their newspapers at the end Of
the year; and men, who plume them
selves upon their punctuality and scrupu-
lously honest dealing IN other respects,
will let their newspaper accounts run for
one, two, three or more years, if not cal
led upon, until the amount OF the account
produces almost an inability to pay it,
and not unfrequently doubt Of its accu-
racy.
Now rhy should man pay his butch
er or baker, lsis tailor or his shoemaker,
or Ills landlord, more willingly than he
pays the publisher of a newspaper to
which he is n subscriber? The butcher
and the baker turn over their money
perhaps fifty times in the year. The
money received to-day is laid out for cat
tie, or fresh supply Of -four, before the
end Of the week, which is sold out again
the week following. A profit Of ten per
cent. upon their sales may therefore be n
profit Of 500 per cent. per annum upon
. their first outlay, profit received day
by day. How is it with the publisher
lie pays cash for the paper he prints up
ea-cash for woges-for house rent, and
all the continge ncies' of his business; he
lies out Of his money, not for weeks OF
months, but for years, unless he presses
for payment. AT the low price to which
competition has reduced newspapers, how
is it possible for any one to conduct a bu-
siness of this sort, without payments be-
ing made in advance, or atteast with re-
guIarity, and at reasonable intervals.
There are those who suppose that news
papers yield large profit; we have even
known some good people who suppose
that the publishers Of them can afford to
furnish them gratuitously, and therefore
they never trouble their heads about pay
ing for them. Some persons are even
offended if an account is presented to
them, as though it wns intended to pick
their pockets.-.Nat. Int.

MARRIAGE.


From the nature of the generality Of
marriages which take place nowadays,
where the whole negotiation of the bu-
siness is often concluded in the space Of
scouple of months, have been frequent
ly led 10 ask myself whether the object Of
such parties were conjugal felicityS and
if such were the desired end, whether
their wishes were not oftener disappoint-
ed than fulflled3 In so limited 4 court
ship they could scarcely have any know
ledge Of the real character and DISPOSE
tions Of each other, which is so indispe II
sibly necessary to future happiness.
To such immature choice, is chiefly to
be attributed the numerous discussions
which occur in the marriage state, and
which will naturally contir.ae to be the
case, as long as it is founded on such a
brittle basis. The prccipitancy of such
marriages, and its conco comitant evils,
have been admirably defined by Doctor
johnson in his RasseIas: "a youth and
maiden meeting by chance, or brought
together by artifce, exchange. gIances,
recirrocate civilites, 60 home and dream
of one another. Having little to divert
attention, or diversity thought, they find
themselves uneasy when they are apart
and therefore conclude that they shallbe
happy together. They marry, and dis
cover what nothing but voluntary blind
ness before had concealed; they wea
out life in alterations, and charge nature
with cruelty"
How different that pair, who arc no
wholly influenced by interested motives
and whom habit Of uISdisguised attach
ment, has ripened into the strictest low,
and friendship; and whose hearts may
be said to lie interviewer together. Sue!
cannot fail TO enjoy the height Of connu
bial bliss. But the practice of such re
fined attachment appears towear away
apace; in the place Of those vGtuous sen
timents, that Of interest SCENE to have
been substituted and made the all-go
verning principle.
1t is lnmentable to observe the hume
rous instances Of the infraction Of the mar
ringe vow by persons OF both sexes; ant
did they but consider it in that serious
and important light which, it merits, they
would not be 50 incautiors. Let rs re-
- feet that whoever of eitLcr sex is con
scious that they do not prefer the perso'
at the Altar to all others, are guilty wher
they pronounce the marriage vow Of 4
direct and deliberate perjury, and tina,
aggravated too by the solemnity of the
place, and the presence Of the Supreme
Being.

THANKSGIVING.

This is the day set apart by the a1thor-
tiles of this State, to be observed as
Day of Thanksgiving and Praise. In
the due and faithful observance Of this
ancient and solemn Festival, let us not
be unmindfIl in the plenitude of our
thank klulness for the rich abundance with
which we are surrounded, and the many
blessings heaven has bestowed upon us
of the suffering poor. There are many
amongst us who at the present inclemnet
season, are almost wholly destitute of the
comforts Of life, and who confidently an
tcipate temporary relief from the boun-
ty Of those who are blessed with a plen-
tiful supply of "this worlds goods''-and
the opportunity which will be offered to-
auy IN tire several churches to those who
feel disposed to ''throw in their mite" in
aid Of this unfortunate class, will, we
doubt not be gladly improved.
The following excellent article on the
subject of Thanksgiving, we find in the
Portsmouth Journal:
"Our New-England Thanksgiving is
one Of the very few institutions Of our
Pilgrim Fathers which has come down to
us unchanged and unimpaired. 1t is the
Old English Harvest-Home, very much
improv or rather it is the rcvving Of
the Mosaic Feast Of Ing gathering, in the
true spirit Of the Sacred Scriptures, OF
which the Harvest Home was, doubtless,
corruption.
There were, in almost all ancient pa
gan nations, particularly in Rome and
Greece, Heather Festivals, at which the
dovotees Of their strange gods presented
the newly gathered fruits Of the earth L
their "blind guides" by whom in turn
they were presented to senseless stocks
and stones, or laid on the altsrs Of god

The result of the late election IN this
State, has been by far more cheering to
the friends Of National Republic an. .prin-
ciplcs than could have been expected
II has been triumph Of principle-gen-
uine principle--a triumph of which every
Rhode Islander who is not chained to the
car Of Jacksonism, and anti-mosonry,
will long be proud. 1t is somewhat a
musing to notice the arguments resorted
to by the Jackson presses to convince
their readers of the causes oftheir defeat
at the recent election. Last Saturdays
Jackson Herald in Providence, contains
a long article enumeratipg the reasons
why the Electoral vote Of this State was
not given in favor Of jackson, from which
we select the following curious para.

The Cholera made its first appearance

Of June. Silce.that time it has overrun
the greatest part Of Canada and the Uni

as far as St. Louis, and Southwark as far
us New-O Orleans on the Mississippi, and
Charleston on the Atlantic. The num-
ber of victims in Canada and the United
States, down to the present time, we
should estimate at from Is 900 to 90, 900,

200 in St. Louis, 200 in the U. S. Army,
and the remainder in other places. Ac-
cording to a letter from N. Orleans, the

The uniounded statements contained
in the article referred to, are only equal
led blythe extract copied above. This
attempt to make the public believe that
ihe friends of Jackson in Rhode Island
were Indifferent with regard to the result
oEthe late election, because they were
successful almost every where else, is so
directly the reverse Of what every body
knows (who is in the least acquainted
with the effect Of such results) to be even,
plausible, that we cannot pass it by with
out notice. To the success that Jackson
met with in Pennsylvania, may be attrib-
uted the success that subsequently fol-
lowed in New York-so undoubtedly in
New Jersey, and wherever our ranks
were in the least disafiected. And so
far from those elections operating against
the Jackson party in this State, the num-
Der Of votes polled for Jackson was much
larger than could possibly have been gi-
ven had his election been at all doubtful.
Who Of the Jackson party will pretend
to argue that many, very many of the
strongest of their friends were guilty Of
the crime of Indifference at the late elec-
tion?-we term it crime, for we are We
ry certain that it would have been almost
SO considered amongst the strongest of
them at east-And who are there in
the ranks Of Jackson that will pretend
also, that the great victory achieved by
their friends in other States, had such an
anfavorable effect upon them here, as to
render them so tranquil and lukewarm
that they had as live The State would 60
