9 WhO Cnres9n

No two words in Tie English language
comprise greater meaning, uttered peculi
arly as they at most ,imesare, than those two
which form the caption of our present ar
lcle.
When a person through unavoidable mis-
fortune, becomes poor and depressed in the
world, and is yet willing and anxious to re-
gain his former position in society, this ',Oho
cares?' becomes an excellent stimuant and
aleviaior.
If an adoring youth finds the beauteous
object of his affection giving him the mitlen
with disdain, he never will reclaim her by
sitting down by the river side and bordering
whether or nos he will render himself food
for the fishes nor by sauntering in the lone
woods signing in concert with the winds as
they sweep along through the branches of
the old UNDISCOVERED trees. Our old friend
Will Nevermind managed such matter in
the very best way. Meeting him one day,
"Will,'' said we, "are you married yet 2"
g Married - exclaimed Will, "not /, indeed;
but l came within an ace of il a short time
since. l was perfectly willing, but Lizzy
was not. fel;my spirilssink. and my heart
down at my heels for little while; but
soon Plucking up courage, d-m it. said /,
there are plenty more as good as she,-aOho
cGres!-and that put me all RICH: again."
"Hard times, these very - exclaimed
an old misery usurer, who had just Pocketed
years interest for twenty-five thousand
dollars, at 10 per cent. "What! do you call
the times hard 7" responded an industrious
mechanic, who sat upon his tool-chest.-
"Last night my house was burnt, and with
it all the furniture had prepared for the re-
cepIiOn of my young wife. I have left me
but this chest, in which are few dollars,
my clothing, and my tools My wife must
now stay at her fathers until can build an
other dwelling. But, had good break
fast, and expect as good dinners so let the
world slide ;-soho cGres?''
In the above instances these two words
are well enough applied, as they convey the
idea Of determination having been formed
to resist misfortune, and push forward in the
world. They are not always thus applied, as
is proven by the following:
"WhO cGres7'' roared out a ragged, dirty
fellow, who had been paid his weeks wages,
the last cent of which he was just about to
spend for liquor. "My wife and children
must almost starve next week for thisS but
il will be all the same hundred years hence,
if we don't live but ninety-nine.-Go ahead
Give us another drink !-Who cares 20
GLOW came you to do such piece Of
mischief, Mary, my dear?" "Why, law,
ma, was only amusing uyself,-I thought
it was all we'll enOugh,-and there's net SO
much harfa done, after all,-so, tOhO cGres?''
But in the present instance, and for the
future, Mary, you must learn to care. Go.
put those things to rights again."
cit surely can't be worth dollar to print
eight or ten lines in newspaper Good
honest friend, aOhO cares for the expense at
tendant or publishing public journal, ex-
cepting the proprietor himself? You pay
not for the labor, because the work would be
the same without your advertisement. This
one dollar is required as compensation in
part for the two thousand dolla:s paid for oul
office, for the long apprenticeship we served
and for the expenses that are daily attendant
on as. Reader, whoever you may be, tc
what has been said in this last paragraph
we trust you will not respond with "whc
cares 20
