did So
3" can't lind any paper for You to-day. They
have made mistake in not mailing it this week."
NO." replied Ashburn. &C have stopped it,"
"Iudecd The Post is an excellent papc-
What other do you intend 20 take?"
" | shall not take any newspaper this year."
replied Ashburn.
Not take newspaper, Mr.. Ashburn!" said
the Post master, with look and tone of surprise.
"No, must retrench. must cut off all su.
pcrfiuous expenses. Aud believe that can
