PUNCTUALITY.

There has been much said, written and
published, mostly for the purpose of in
still:ng into the youthful mind, the grea
importance of being prompt-of meeting
payments in business transactions to the
very letter-of meeting other engage
ments and promises punctually at the
time and place designated, and of accom-
plishing piece OF work and having it
ready fur delivery at the precise time
agreed upon.
Punctuali.y is noble and commend a.
bic truit Who does not dislike disap-
pointment? Tie failure of one to meet
his engagements, is often the cause of a
dozen failures, and some of them proba-
bly, creating suffering. penury. bankrupt
cy and want-all TOO, chargea5le to the
first aggressor.
The publisher of the daily or weekly
paper promises its regular appearance
each day or week, and with its issue. it is
generally considered that its proprietor
is under pledges and promises to give
correct account OF all the railroad acci-
dents. murders, riots, wars and rumors of
wars, deaths. marriages. and every thing
new in the political world-elections
foreign and domestic markets what the
President aud Congress have done and
intend TO do; and.in all this to please ev-
cry body. Should he fail to give his ad
vertise ments ordered by courts. their re-
quisite number of Insertions. and in pro-
per season, parties litlgant are disappoin
ted and damaged to the tune of twenty or
thirty dollars in costs. In all this and
many other things punctuality is expect
ed. The publisher, therefore, has daily
or weekly payment to meet, End it is not

the sneers and the curses Of one, and still
survive the shock: but when his entire

he is in rather BAD streak for sympathy.
