take weekly newspaper, at two dollars

These 'luxuries". at the end of the year cost
him $9l 25, and yet he cannot afford to
spend two dollars per annum for newspa.

JUST LIKE 'EM.-The ladies have taken
to shirt-collars and short jackets. The next
Jump, the Albany Knic6erbocker expects,
will be pants forty inches round the bottom,
