RATHER TAKEN DowH.-An interesting
young married man of our acquaintance,
who has been seduous'y cultivating nous
tache the last month or two, was met a cou-
pie days since by an old friend.
"Why my dear sir, you are becoming very
careless of late," said the friend.
Careless, Why sop'
"Why so! Well that's the way with you
felows-get married, then you forget al
your old nice ways"
"Why, what do you meanP'
al merely mean that to my certain knowl
edge you used to shave every day, necessity
or not, and now | perceive by your upper lip
that you havn't shaved for t,oo or three days.
Our friend came down-just what his beart
had done-looked malicously at a brick pile
but walked away with a saddened feeling.

Transient Young Men.

Girls, beware of transient young men;
never suffer the addresses of stranger; rec.
olIect that one good steady farmer boy or
mechanic is worth all the floating trash in
the world; the allurements Of dandy jack
with gold chain about his neck, walking
stick in his paw, some honesttsilos's coat on
his back, and brainless skull, can never
make up the loss If kind fathers hone, a
good mothers counsel. and the society of
brothers and sisters; their affections last
while that Of such young man is lost at
the wane Of the honeymoon. 'Tis true.

FRIDAY MORNINGS:
Country and city Papers.


Those not conversant with the printing OF
newspapers often feel pretty indignant at the
publishers of country papers asking more Tor
their sheets, than the city blanket newspa-
pers cost. Country publishers are well
aware too, and are called upon to feel the
fact occasionally in that most tender OF all
susceptible places, their pockets, that their
neighbors, because they get city paper
little cheaper than their own town or county
paper, give it their preference and their dol
lar, and turn cold shoulder upon that which
duty and decency demands they should sup
port They forsake the friend at home,
which probably for years has been advocat-
ing those things tending to advance the val.
ne of their property, provide markets for
their produce, and benefit them indirectly in
a thousand ways, and give their patronage
to a distant paper, which has no interest in
common with them, and cares only for the
"almighty dollar" which is to pay for the
value received. They thus desert their own
home paper, merely because larger paper
may be obtained from abroad for a smaller
sum. We have contempt for that man
who leaves a home paper to buy cheaper
one from abroad. Let him first lend his
mite to support the paper which supports his
interests-and after that go abroad if he de.
sires cheap Literature.
Country papers cannot be afforded at the
price OF even much larger city papers. The
reason is, that the papers of the large COM
mercial cities are principally sustained by
commercial patronage, the best and surest
known to newspaper establishment, their
circulation being secondary object, except
by way of increasing their other and more
important business. Thus says a cotempo-
rary. Hence, such papers are put at sub.
scriPtion price that must be ruinous to those
which depend upon circulation alone. We
are acquainted with city papers which lose
money on every subscription, and have o
course no disposition to see new subscribers
coming in! And these dollar city papers
must have subscription lists Of thousands tc
make single dime on a subscriber. So it il
wrong to expect publishers outside of cities
depending principally upon their circulation
for supper, to compete in prices with city
papers, But SO long as they do their duty
to the faith which is in them, the country
around them, ana the town Of their publica.
ton, they deserve the preference over the
best distant city papers in the land.

The ORDER OF THE IMMACULATE Coscr

TIoH.--The new order, says the Paris cor
respondent Of the Atlas, is TO be confined to
the no5lesse alone. Each member is to be
compelled to furnish eight quarterings of no.
bility, fpureIy French, and sixteen il mixed
with foreign blood. A rule entirely novel
in religious or GERS will ensure the most ex-
tended popularity in the Immaculate Con.
cepiion, being the permission accorded TO itt
members to marry, provided their choice be
app owed by the superior.
