NEXT week we shall enlarge our paper
one quarter its present size. We said in
the beginning that if we met with sufficient
encouragement we should enlarge before
the year was out, but though the paper
does not pay It's expenses at present yet as
we feel bound TO do the fair thing by our
subscribers, whether they do the same by
us or not, we have coacluded to give
them more reading matter at the same
price.
We have engaged the paper to be made
expressly for our own use first rate quality
and we promise that the paper shall contin-
pe to improve in its appearance BY the
by, won't our friends endcavor to do some-
thing for us by subscribing themselves and
getting others to follow their example :
We find many persons who say they have
no time to read what papers they take
now. What if they don't, but we think
the number is very small who cannot find
time in the course of a week to real-we
won't say how much, the most of them
have families, who hare time to read
and who would profit by it if they We're
supplied with reading matter which was
truly useful. How many spend hour after
hour reading the cheap trash of the day,
such as the twenty-five cent novels, the
"romances of real O. life" &c, with
which the whole country is flooded, and
yet cannot find moment of time to peruse
their home paper. Friends just give us a
lift if you can, for we have stented our,elf
to two hundred dollars, as a sinking fund
for this year, and we should terribly hate
to exceed it.

An Enigma.

I am one of the oldest inhabitants Of the
earth. How long the fist human pair
were created before me / do not precisely
know bat the period was doubtless short.
Brief as It may have been, those who liv-
ed in it always spoke of it as season of
innocence and joy. They seemed to re-
gret that it had passed away; and, (whst
was humiliating to me) they often declar-
ed my presence did but remind them of
those better days, and departed joys.
My memory may be treachcrous, but l
have an indistinct recollection Of being in
company with Adam and Eve, on the day
they sinned and fell under the curse of
Jehovah but if | mistake in regard to this,
am sure I stood with them on that sad
occasion when they were driven out of
Paradise, and with them looked back in
sorrow to the beautiful Garden from which
they were henceforth to be excluded
To show that am correct, | will quote
the words Of celebrated historian Of that
period Speaking of the fact that an an
rel had led them out of the Garden and
fixed a flaming sword so that they could
not return, he goes on to say:
