ASSOCIATED EFFORT.

vi what use IS an isolated type! IL may
be perfect letter and beautiful one, but
who takes notice Of it! |, may be figure
nine, which has wandered away from the
head Of half dozen ciphers. Without this
little type the whole row means just moth
ing. How important then is single type
especially in the place assigned for IT by
the compositor. Do you see nothing in
this illustration, We who exclude yourselves
from society, and live isolated lives?-
There are scores within speaking distance
Of you, to whom you might be Of essential
service. Unite with them and you may
move the world. Apart and you are worse
What would Washington have done alone?
Suppose Adams, Franklin and host Of 9th.
ers had kept aloof, where would our nation
now be? Associated effor, completes the
work, which might have been under pro.
gress for ages with here and there aborer.
In union there is power and strength. No
longer dig alone but if there is knowledge
Of virtue IN you, let it be united with the at.
tainmen,s of others and you will accomplish
all that can be desired.-Portldnd Bulletin.

increase Of 40 millions 10 the national debt

laughed at by others. have always an

remedy have your" son, we will allow
merchants to bring corn into the country"
See the price you now pay for corn, com
pared with the prices at which 1t is pur.
chased in the original market. There is no
chance OF salvation for the country, unless
the landlords come forward manfuly, and
boldly insist upon the English Government,
providing food for the people.
Talk OF drainage! why drainage is very
good, as regards next year, or the year ar
ter; and as 10 the cultivation OF the waste
lands those lands would produce no crops
for two years at least. Now what sort OF
a remedy is thati It reminds me of phrase
-"Live horse, and you will get grass."-
They say to The people Of Ireland, "live for
two years upon the air, and at the end OF
that time you will get potatoes" Oh! it
