The Secret Of Sucossa.

The price of liberty, it has been said, sis
eterna Visilance." 1t is true of success in
most y A thoughtful observance of the
rules which the experience of men has fixed,
must he maintained in almost every undertak-
| ing, if we would win the prize upon which our
hearts are set With this introduction the
philadelphia Enquirer well remarks:
"The business man, the merchant, mechanic
or trader, has not only to exercise thoughtful
observance of himself and his affairs; he must
excite thoughts in others of himself and his
business. 1t is not sufficient for the merchant
that he has been carefully schooled in know
ledge Of the goods he deals in, that he has
selected his stock carefully and has rented n
store in which to display it; these are but pre-.
paratOry steps; he must let the business public
know where he is, that he has the goods for
sale, and where they can be seen, admired and
purchased. A man cannot sit in his store
nowadays, and expect that trade will come
to him. He must invite it. Merely putting
up sign and then taking a seat in his counting
room, like spider waiting for something t9'
come into his web, will not answer. The,
great public, busted with a thousand other
things, must be constantly reminded of his
goods and place of business; and to do this
efectually, there is but one way. The great
lever which lifts the individual and his business
above the heads of many, that all may see, is
the newspaper He who forgets or negleets
this power, is lost in the crowd, and jostled out
or trodden down"

Mr.. Greeley at Woshington-A Washin
ton letter writer tells the following, in speakiA
of the presence of Philosopher Greeley at tbs
Federal City: I
A trio of Irish servants were busily talking
politics in the corner of the reading room, 0r-
ish servants are great politicians here,) when
one Of them suddenly exclaimed:
"Be jabers, boys, an there's ould Greeley!'
"Where?" exclaimed his companions, with as
much interest in their looks as they would ma.
turaIIy exhibit on being told that St. Patrick
was before them.
Standin' yon by the table talkin' wild the tall
gintleman."
The Hibernian gazed curiously and intense
ly at Horace for an instant, when the youngest
of them, apparently late importation, with
wonder in his voice, observed:
"Sure an he's white man?"
"Av coorse he's white man." said the first
speaker in patronizing tone, as though Ho~
race and he were the greatest of cronies.
"Wel, be me sowl, I've been desaved in the
ould fellow intirely," continued the other; 81

TThe Postmaster General, in his report
suggest that the franking privilege be restric-
ted to public documents and letters on public
business merely; also, the charge of fnI! rates
upon newspapers in all cases, instead of half
rates, when paid quarterly in advarce.
He recommends compulsory prepayment by
stamps ofpostage on books, phamphIets, circur
lars, and all other transient matters. He again
urges the six months notice to the Collins line
Of steamships, in discontinuance Of the extra
pay voted them in July, 1852. He presses
this subject at some length.

Country papers are of much more use than
people imagine.
They very materially aid in directing public
attention to matter in which every citizen of
the country is more or less interested.
They contribute in variety of ways to the
formation of public opinion on subjects ofpub-
tic interest.
They furnish very convenient mediums for
the dsussion of questions of local interest.
They aid in giving character and Importance
to the county in which they are published.
They stimulate a taste for reading, and dis
semnate, in the course of one year, vast
amount of useful information, much of which
would not reach portion Of their readers
through any other channel.
They are of essential use in a family, in
fostering taste for reading among children.
Country papers enjoy an advantage in this
respect over papers published at distance,
because many of their articles are of local
interest, which naturally attracts child's at
tention. The advertising columns are parti-
cularly attractive to this class of readers.
Country papers, by the local information they
contain are often the means of drawing new
and valuable citizens to the county in which
they are published.
They are OF essential service IN publishing
various items of local intelligence in which
the citizens are more or less interested, but of
which many would remain unnformed were it
not for these papers.
In short, country papers, in variety of
ways, add to the character, intelligence and
prosperity of the county in which they are
published; and therefore have strong claims
for support upon all who are directly or indi
rectly benefited by them.
AS to the objection we not unfrequentIy hear
charged against the support of country papers,
that the price charged for them is too high, it
may be replied that the price at which the
paper can be afforded depends mainly upon
the number of subscribers. The chief ex-
penses in the publication of paper consist in
setting up the matter. One thousand copies
can be furnished at very small addition TO
the cost over and above the cost of compost
ton.

Spiritual RailUdy Train.-The Old Colony
(Plymouth) Memorial has marvellous story,
that between three and four o'clock every
morning, train comes laundering over the
railroad there, when no mortal train is due or
expected. Three officers of the road watched
saw the train with its goblin engineers and
brakemen; heard the supernatural whistle; saw
the demons screwing down the brakes; and
went home with their hair standing on end and
trembling with nnutterabIe terror. Il is clear
that the spirits keep pace with modern improve
ments. Walking or stalking ghosts are out Of
date. They come now by special train.
