A New FACT DIscLosED.-We were not aware
until recently that the books of newspaper publish
ers are consulted to quite large extent, by people
In business to ascertain the pecuniary standing of
persons. Debts for newspapers come due once
year; and persons who pay up regularly for their
papers, are regarded as prompt men, worthy of con-
fidence. To ascertain whether man is good, thew
find out what paper he takes, and contrve in some
way TO peep into his account. Men who are good
are sure to pay lor their newspapers and if they do
not pay for these, they think them not GOOD. we
were forclbly struck with the idea. pretty shrewd
observer OF human nature said in ne wspaper office
very lately, "Give printers books after ALL to
tell whether mans good; they're complete Their
inometer, sir, credit thermometer we always
know man to be bad if he don't pay the printer.'

SONG.
How sweet il is for us TO know,
That there are hearts that burn
With love for us where'er we go,
And sigh for our return.
Then, though the world is cold and drear,
And gives the bosom pain,
We've but TO turn to scenes more dear,
And all is bright again.
But sad must be the home of those,
- Condemned to live alone,
With none to cheer amid lifc's woes.
And none 10 call their own
No season sweet of joy doth conc,
To shed its fragrance there,
No sunshine to dispense the gloom
That broods a dark despair.
The heart can meier be truly blest
Unless il can rccline
Upon some fond, ccngcnial breast,
Where loves sweet tcndrils Irvine.
Then we can brook lies many ills,
Oh sorrow and Of woe,
For love a soothing balm distils,
To cheer us whilst below.
