COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS.

We gladly lay before our readers the following
extract, which abounds with much good advice
and practical common sense II lis evidently com
posed by judicious and well balanced mind, and
the counsel is most wholesome and salutary, and
might pro6tably be read by many who prefer some
thing foreign in preference to home production
Read! Read!! Read!! II willrchy repay an at
tentive perusal, and may perhaps be the means of
opening the eyes of some who are not as long
sighted as the author of the article in question!
"No farmer or business man should renquish
the newspaper published in his own county, for
the sake of taking some other or larger, cheaper,
or more popular paper, published in any OF the ci-
ties. The newspaper published in ones own coun-
ty, is always, as general rule, more valuable than
any other, If it be for nothing but the advertise.
ments-aye, the advertisements, the very key
which opens the door to excellent bargains. 1t is
Of no little consequence for the farmer to know
what is going on in his county town, and through.
out his county, which he can know IN no other way
except through the columns OF a newspaper pub

of farms, stock-the markets-proceeding 10
court and hundred other matters, all of which
interest him. We venture to say, there is not a
man who may not every year save much more than
the price of subscription to his county newspaper
from its advertising columns alone; and on this
ground we exhort all to patronize their own news.

reasons, one of which we will name; fhe nam.
moth weekly sheets OF the cities being furnished al
price which no country printer can compete, (foI
one reason, because made up generally of matter
used and paid for in the daily papers) are en-
croaching largely upon the country papers, thus
discouraging improvement and enterprise, and
gradually bringing the whole country under the
influence and in some sense the control of the lea
ding cliques in the cities. Thus tone is given
to the morals, the politics, and the habits OF the
county and we hesitate not to say, that the pre-.
ponderence of this influence is bad The people
OF the country get full enough Of this influence
thrdugh their own papers; and if they would moi
see the complete supremacy Of the cities over the
moral and political destiny of the country, lei

THE END OF THE SABBATH BREAKER.


Lucien Hall, who was lately executed in Con-
nectcut, at the early age OF twenty-eight, for
most atrocious and unprovoked murder, the very
recital OF which makes the blood run cold; attrib-
utes his whole career OF vice, to want of proper
religious instruction early life, and particularly
to the crime of Sabbath breaking, to which he was
greatly addicted. His last words were:
81 have given full and true account of all the
crimes have committed, in my short life. de-
sire before close to say TO all the readers of this
book, that mpute all my wickedness and crime
to bad bringing up.
"Nobody ever gave me good advice; my father
either made me work, or allowed me to play on the
Sabbath; and never heard prayer in my fathers
house. II had been taken to church, and rel-
giously taught, should not now be in my present
situation. -tt d
"I wish I'd say to all parents. Do not bring up
your children as was brought up, Give them the
advantages of schooling, of religion, and of good
advice For want of these was led on to be what
am.
"Iwish to warn all young people against the
course have taken. Beware how you reject good
advice or break the Sabbath. II you have religious
friends and religious privileges, value them more
than any thing else; receive the advice of such
friends; improve those privileges while you have
them. l wish with my last breath to warp all the
young against the neglect of religio on, and the
Sabbath, which have brought me to ruin. Ihave

MISSED HIS JUMp.-Our friend v. L., Of
Chambers, tells capital little story of Doctor
SOMEBODY, resident in Columbus, Georgia.
The Doctor had been lo champagne irolic and
came home, late at night, "as tight as a tick, !"
His wife had gone to bed, and the doctor undres-
sed, and stood before the fire en- chenise, enjoying
its comfortable warmth. His wife perceiving that
he was slightly "the worse for wear" called to
him, telling him TO come to bed and not fall into
the fire.
"Stop, my dear" said the Doctor, who was
expe riencing that sensation Of universal rotation
common after debauch-"stop, my dear, I'll get
IN as soon as the bed gets round here,'
Presently he stretched out his arms to make a
jump, but the bed seemed to whirl by him, and he
paused for another chance. Again the bed swan
round to him and he made Tremendous plunge at
it, but found himself in distant corner Of the
Dom instead of on the feathers. s4
swell now, my DEAR" said he, rubbing his
head "dd you ever see any thug whiz by as quick!
Just as lieftry to jump into railroad car under
full head way!''
So the doctor commenced chasing the bed con
all fores," and by dint Of hard "cooning" and q
little assistance from bis wife, he eventually sue
ceedeG in getting between the sheets.
