TAKING A NEWSPAPER.

"a pleasant day this, neighbor Gas
KILL" said one farmer to another, coming
in the barn Of the latter, who was engaged
in separating the chaf' from his wheat
crop, by means of fan.
"Very fine day, friend Alton. ANY
news!' returned the individual addressed.
mo, nothing of importance, l believe.
have called over to see if you wont Join
Carpenter and myself in taking the paper
this year. The price is two dollars; but,
by taking three copies, we can get the
whole for fvc--which is, you see, some
thing Of a saving. Ono dollar and sixty-six
cents is dog cheap for the Courier"
nothing is cheap that you don't want"
returned GaskiII, in a positive tone. 81
don't believe in newspapers. never heard
of their doing any good, If an old stray
one happens 10 get into our house, my gals
are crazy after it, and nothing can be got
out of them until it is read through. They
wouldn't be good for a cent if a paper
came every week. And, besides, dollars
aint picked up in every corn hill"
"But think, neighbor Gaskill, how much
information your girls would get. if they
had fresh newspaper every week, filled
with all the latest intelligence. The time
they would spend in reading it would be
nothing to what they would gain"
"And what would they gain, wonder
Get their heads filled with nonsense and
love stories. Look at Sally Black. Isn't
she fine specimen of one of your newspa.
per reading gals! Not worth to her father
three pumpkin seeds. remember wei
enough when she was one of the mos,
promising little bodies about here. Bu
her father was fool enough to take news
paper. Any one could soon see change
in Sally. She began to spruce up and looh
smart. First came bow on her Sunday
bonnet, and then gloves to go to meeting
| in. After that she must be sent off tc
school again, and that at the very time
when she had begun TO be worth somethin!
about home. And now she has got forty
piano; and fellow comes every week L
teach her music"
"Then you wont Join us, neighbour
Mr.. Alton said, avoiding useless reply t,
Gaskill.
o, no. That will not. Money throw
away on newspapers is worse than wasted
| never heard of their doing any gooC
The time spent in reading a newspape
every week, would be enough to raise
hundred bushels of potatoes. Your Coul
icr, in my opinion, is dear bargain at an
price"
Mr.. Alton changed the subject, and 500
after left neighbor Gaskill to his own fan
cics. A wise man was found willing
! make one Of the proposed club, and |
