the following remarks:
{" H. Georgia there are now forty-sercn news
papers, not counting the weeklies issued by
daiIies having in the aggregate say seventy five
thousand subscribers. This is a liberal allow
ance, us many persons are subscribers 10 three,
four, or Il half :; dozen papers in The Stale. Of
these seventy-frc thousand subscribers we may
safely calculate that fifteen Thousand never pay
the publishers one cent. Here theft are sixty
thousand Subscribers to keep forty sevcil news
papers alive; a number hardly sufficient to sup
part ten good papers Is it any wonder, then,
that so many editors retire in disgust from their
posts. Indeed, were it not for the patronage Of
advertisers, few papers could exist n year in
Georgia, at the present rates. These rates
should be increased as material is unusually
expensive and wages exorbilant. And while

protected BY law than that of the newspaper
no business is so entirely dependant upon The

focus Of attack from hundreds, whose honor is
highly injured by such proceedings, though they
never have paid, and never will pay, one cent for
the protection Of their soaring pride"

HoMELY TRUTHS LoR WIvEs.-Although
your husband MAY neglect 10 give you good
dress, du not seek revenge by giving him good
dressing.
Do not hesitate between the choice Of an eX-
pensivc mantle and your husbands affection;
The former may he dear to your back, but the
latter should be dearer TO your bosom.
Should your husband bring i friend home to
pari;lke of The remains of Yesterdays beef, do
not br churii>h, but let warm smile season
The cold repast.
Prefer country rambles to town lounges; the
culors of The rose ire brighter than The hues Of
silks, and tho dewdrops oulsIIine the jewellers
gems.
Never deny your husband the pleasure Of
smoking; The cigar by the fire side, is line do
nestle calumet Of peace.
Be careful in brewing the cup which cheers,
bui not incbriates; strong ten is beller than
weak arguments.
