PAYMENT FOR PER1oDICALs.-Y GU
order or consen: to take newspaper, or
religious periodical, and you take it with
your eyes upon the "terms," and in the
very act OF ordering it, or conserving TO
take It, you pledge yourself 10 pay for
SUCH publication according to the lernlS;
and while you neglect TO do this, you
stand convicted as moral being, OF vio-
latIng your pied ge, and Withholding from
another his right. | speak not now Of
the disastrous consequences Of such
solemn trifing, but l speak Of its guilt;
and of the amount Of that guilt let every
candid man judge for himself. And let
him decide as in the presence Of God, and
IN prospect ofthe final reckoning, when it
shall appear that be who is unjust in the
least, is unjust also in much" The plea
Of Inconvenience in making payments at
Il distance, will not excuse neglect He
that fears God ard respects the rights of
his fellow man, will "dO jvslIN" even
though it require sacrafce He will be
generous rather than unjust.
Each delinquent should consider, that
he may be inficting a most ungratefnl
and cruel wound not only upon the in
divIdual who is serving him, but indi-
rectIr upon the best Interests Of the COM
munity.'
After a dun or two we have been per-
picked sometimes to know what course we
ought to take-being reluctant to " sue at
the law" We were advised the other
day, to represent the case Of certain breth-
rem TO their Pastors, as recurring the at
tention Of him who 'watcbes for the soul"
Perhaps we may take that course.-VL

CAUTIoN.-A man apparently quic
lame and calling himself John Came is
travelling about in this state, soliciting
money. He is native Of Scotland, and
according to his own story, has become a
cripple since he came to this country, in
consequence of taking mercury. He is
endeavoring to obtain money, as hestates,
to enable him to return to his friends in
Scotland. Some weeks ago he called at
my house, and though | am inclined to
regard strangers who ask for money, with
suspicion, was SO wrought upon by his
appearance and story, that | gave him a
quarter Of dollar. Several of my nei gh-
bors did likewise. Since that time,
have ascertained that he is an Incorporate
man. Persons with whom l have con-
versed have known him to be intoxicated
lately at Duxbury. Whether his story
be true or false, he is evidently making a
bad use of his money, and all should be
cautioned against hun.
Qusry-Is it right in any case whatever
to give money to travelling beggars q
Does not the practice of giving them
money tend to encourage fraudulent beg.
ging2 Whenever | have given money
to such a person, have afterwards been
led to believe that was imposed upon.
