"NEWSPAPERING."

A dear friend Of ours, who is earnestly en-
ployed in the Gospel ministry, says: H.H
'Newspapering is not my delight
Well may he say 50, for God has called him
to a higher and nobler work than writing for
newspapers. He is permitted to proclaim,
with his own lips, to hundreds Of men. the
riches of Grace in our Lord Jesus Christ, the
greastest of all employments on earth. He can
say with a pious poet,
81 ,'Christ's only righteousness show,
@ Il His saving truth proclaim,
,gi 'Tis all my business here below, ,lca
.. i94 To cry "Behold the Lamb ~ ta
But while this is his principel delight, we
know that he has been instrumental in doing
much good also by 'newspapering,' and if he
can find moment or two occasionally to de-
vote to this purpose, we should be pleased to
give publicity to what he may feel disposed to
write for our paper. Certainly, next to the
oral proclamation of truth, the press is the
greatest agency used Of God And in this day
Of newspapers it appears to us the duty OF
those whose words do good when spoken, to
try their power when written. The newspa-
.pers are daily filed up, and it depends
on the quality Of their matter whether they are
to exerta good or bad influence. Hence we
are anxious TO enlist the aid Of all our virtuous
friends in particular; and if the one referred to
can favor us at any time, he will be more than
welcome TO our columns. u

In England The avarage rate Of scrlcuI-

From this is to be deducted cottage rent a

/ Holland aud Belgium, 81 20, in Italy
nd the Austrian states, 81 10 cents, J.
yIIl be remembered that these averages are
uose oftie common Ia5orer, shepherds,
armen, and mechanics receiving rather
more. The food which the wages named
,bove will purchase in the several countries
stated in the Express as follows.
In England the laborer can obtain for bis
