The Cash System.

The evils Of the credit system in minor bu-
sness transactions, are the experience of al
most every one. The remarks below, from
the "American Mechanic" apply as well to
most kinds of business, as TO publishing.
With publishers of newspapers, in common
with business men generally, the Cash sys.
TEN is preferable to any other; to publishers
who rely or nearly so, upon their subscription
list for support for the prosecution of their
business, it is indispensable. Such thing
as newspaper crOdt should have no existence
anywhere. Nothing is gained by, it either
by the proprietor or subscriber, but the form
or must necessarily be the loser. There are
thousands of upright, well meaning men, who
subscribe for newspapers and intend to pay
for them; but the idea Of writing letter to
the publisher, inclosing two dollars never en-
tered their heads--though if called upon for
the amount due would probably be prepared
to meet the demand.
But the publisher of almost every country
newspaper knows il would be out of the ques.
ton for him to employ collector out Of the
profits OF his subscriptions, so many OF his
patrons continue year after year taking the
paper without advancing a cent, while he is
paying cash for his printing materials, cash
| for his paper and labor and everything nec-
essary to carry on business. Here then /:
loss--not attributable to any design on the
part of the subscriber to defraud, but the 10.
gitimate fruit of worse than. worthless sys.
TEN. They would pay if waited upon, but
the printer cannot afford to spend five dollars
for collecting three, and never gets his pay,
Agoin-Mr. A. has the papor sent to bis
address fuor or five years; his bill by this time
amounts to ten dollars; he dies, or runs away
or perhaps becomes bankrupt; here is anoth-
or ''proft and loss" account for the printer.
Mr.. B. also, who lives some five hundred
miles distant, has had the paper mailed to him
three years without making payment, when
suddenly the postmaster in his village, ad
dresses the editor thus "Sir: your paper ad.
dressed to Mr.. b. is not taken out of tho
office. Reason gone to California"
Aside from cases of this kind, there are il
every community numbers of very ''libera
minded men," who are particularly anxious
for tho success of everything of literary
character, and>who by way Of encouraging
the enterprise, are always ready to entci
their names on the subs Jription book, bu
never think Of paying.

Look Up.

What business has man to 60 about with
his head bowed down like bulrush as if he
were looking for pins in the dirt, or picking
up rusty nails in the street, like an old mill
ionaire in one of our neighboring citiesl God
made man TO stand erect, according TO the
true import of anthropos. the Greek word for
man. In this he is distinguished from other
grades and species of animal creation. They
may look down, but man should look up
Let him write excelsior far above him-on
that keep his eye fixed, and continue his up
ward movement till he attains his mark. IL
is said, that however high man may ascend
from the earth, there is no danger that his
head will swim, and cause him to loose
his balance, If he keeps looking up. But as
sure as he looks downwards, he looses all
command Of himself, and is sure to fall. So
it is in the pursuit Of life. Shake off, then.
your dumps, throw away your blues, and
leave tho dirt under your feet to take care of
itself. Your business is upward. There
Is light above, however dark II may bo be-
meath you. Hold up your head; there is a
bow in tho clouds. and tho storm will soon
ho over. A clear sun will yet shine, Then
rub open your eyes and look up.

True Social Dignity.

To be ashamed of their origin is. just now,
in America Society, the weakness Of the lit
tie minds that compose it. The man who
rides in his carriage shrinks from the ac-
acknowledgement that the money which enabled
him TO buy that carriage was earned by his
father, dollar by dollar, with toll and patience,
in tan yard, behind the counter of shoe
makor's or tailor's shop, or by honest indus
try in some other useful occupation, below
(so called )the grade of the merchant or pro-
fessiona! man. as if the man did not honor
the work, and not the work the man.
To such let Daniel Webster speak. Hear
him:-"lt did not happen TO mo TO be born in
a log cabin. but my elder brothers and sisters
were born in log cabin. raised among the
snow drifts of New Hampshire, at period
so early that when the smoke fist rose from
the rude chimney, and curlod over the frozen
hill, there was no similar evidence of o white
mans habitation between It and the sett To-
ments on the river of Canada. Its remains
still ex ST. make it an annual visit, carry
my children TO it to teach them tho harGships
endured by the generations that have gone
before them. love TO dwell on tho tender
recollection the kindred ties, the early at
fections, and the variations and incidents;
which mingle with all know of this primi-
tive family abode. ] weep to think that
none of those who inhabited it are now
among the living, and if ever, fail in affee-
tionate veneration for him who raised it a.
eainst savage violence and destruction, cher
ished all domestic virtues beneath its roof,
and through the fire and blood Of soven
years revolutionary war, shrunk from no toll,
no sacrifice, to servo his country, and raise
his children to a condition better than his
own, may my name aud the name of my pos
terity, bo blottcd forever from the memory
of all mankind"
And wo will add, that he who is ashamed
of the poor father and mother, whose honest
labor supported - in childhood and whose
daily toll was taxed TO give him tho educa-
ton by which he has been enabo TO rise TO q
condition above the one they occupied, IS
unworthy to be tho associate of wise and
good men, All such will despise him; and
no matter how lofty he may carry his head,
he is nothing in the estimation OF Americas

The Return of Spring.

Dear as the dove, whose waiting wing
The green leaf ransomed from the main,
Thy gentle glow returni ng Spring,
Come to our shore again;
For thou hast been a wanderer long,
On many fair and foreign strand,
In balm and beauty, sun and song,
Passing from land to land.
Thou bring the blossom to the bee,
To earth robe Of emerald dye,
The leaaet to the naked tree,
And rainbow to the sky
feel thy blest benign control
The pulse of my youth restore
Opening the spring of sense and soul,
glove and JOY once more.
will not people thy green bowers
With sorrows pale and spectre hand;
Or blend with thine the faded flowers
OF memorys distant land
For thou vert surely never given
To wake regret from pleasures gone.
But like an angel sent from Heaven,
To soothe creations groan.
Then, while the groves thy garlands twinc,
Thy spirit breathes the flower and tree,
My heart shall kindle at thy shrine,
And worship God in thee;
And IN some calm, sequestered spot,
While listening to the choral strain,
Past griefs shall be awhile forgot,
And pleasure bloom again.

Set round with three times eight
Large diamonds. clear and bright.
And each with sixty smaller ones,
All changeful as the light.

In fashions mazes wind,
Where thrilleth folly's song,
Leaving a sting behindi
Yea TO my hand twas given,
A golden harp to buy,
Such as the white robed choir at,une
To deathless minestrelsy.

The gem of countless cost
Can ne'er be mine again.

Is reft away forever.
But when the sea and land
Like burning scroll hsve fed,

Who judgeth quick and dead;

That man can ne'er repair.
