Friendship.

Friendship is flower that blooms in all
seasons; it may be seen tlourishing on the
capped mountains of Northern Russia, as
we'll as in more favored valleys Of sunny Italy,
everywhere cheering us by its exquisite and
indesclihabe charms. No surveyed chart, no
national boundary line, no rugged mountain,
or steep declining vale put limit to its growth
Wherever it is watcred with the dews of kind
ness and affection, there you may be sure to
find it. Allied in closest companionship with
its twin sister, Charity, it enters the abode of
sorrow and wretchcdncss, and causes happi-
ness and peace. 1t knocks at the lonely and
disconsolate heart, and speaks words of en-
couragcment and Joy. Its all powerful infiu-
encc hovcrs DER contcnding armies, and unitcs
the deadly foes in the closest bonds of sympa-
thy and kindness. It's eternal and universal
fragrance dissil atcs every poisoned thought of
envy, andpurifics the mind with holy and
priceless eontcntment, with all the pomp and
power of earth could not bestow. In vain we
look for this heavenly flower in the cold cal
culating wording, the poor, deluded wretch
is dead to every feeling of its ennobling virtue
In vain do we look for it in the actions of the
proud and aristocratic votares of fash
ion the love of selfdisplay, and of the false
and flccting pleasures of the world, has Danish
ed it forever from their hearts. In vain do we
look for it in the thoushtlcss and practic; |
throng, who with loud laugh, and extended
open hands, proclaim obedience to its laws
while at the same time the cancer of malice
and envy and detraction, is enthroned in their
hearts, and active on their tongues. Friend
ship, true friendship can only be found to
bloom in the soil of noble and self sacrificing
heart; there it has perennial summer, new
er ending season Of felicity and joy to its happy
possessor casting thousand rays oflove and
hope and peace to all around.

A Model Dun.

An editor out west, thus talks to his non
paying subscribers and patrons. Ifthis appeal
does not bring him the "pewter," we think he
need never dun the second timc.-Our delin-
quents will not of course, think we intend to hit
them, by copying the article; although we have
no objection to their reading it if they wish:
'Friends Patrons, Subscribers, and Adver-
tisers Hear us for our debts and get ready
that You may pay; trust us we arc in need,
and have regard for our need, for you have
long been trusted; acknowledge your indebt-
edncss, and dive into your pockets that you
may promptly fork over. If there be one a
mong you-one single patron-that don't owe
us something, then to him we say, step inside

wish to know why we dun them, this is our
answer: Not that We care about cash ourselves
but our creditors do. Would you rather that
we 90 to Jail and you go free, than you pay
your debts and we keep all moving? As we
have agreed, we have worked for you we
have contracted we have furnished our paper

Here are agreements for job work, contracts
for subscriptions, promises of long credits. and
