a NEW WAY OF PAYING A SUB.
SCRIPTION.

A correspondent Of the Lagrange Wing
gives the following amusing account of
the way farmer was taught how cheap
ly he could take the papers. The lesson
is worth pondering by good many men
we "wot Of"
"Iou have hens at home, OF COURSE
Well, will! send YOU my paper one year
for the proceeds OF single hen for one sea
son-merelv the proceeds. 1t seems
tritling, preposterous, to imagine the pro-
ducts Of single hen will pay the sub
scription; perhaps it won't, but make the
offer"
"Donew exclaimed farmer p; 81
agree to it" and appealed to me as wit.
ness in the affair.
The farmer went away, apparently
much ela,ed with bis conquest, and the
editor went on his way rejoicing.
Time rolled around, and the world re-
volved on its axis, and the sun moved in
its orbit just rs it formerly did, the farmer
receiving his paper regularly, and regaled
himself with the information from it. He
not only knew the affairs Of his own coun-
ty, but became conversant upon the lead.
ing topics of the day, and the political anu
financial convulsions of the times. His
children delighted, too, in perusing the
contents of their weekly visitor. In short,
he said, "he WAS surprised at the progress
of himself and family in general infornia,

Some time in the month Of September,

"How do you do, Mr.. -" said the
editor, extending lis hand, and his couu-
tenance lit up with bland smile; "take a
chair, sir, and he seated {; fiue.weather we

Yes, sir, quite fine indeed" answered
the farmer, shaking the proftered "paw u
Of the editor, aud then a short silence ell,
sued, during which our friend B
hitched his chair backws ard and forward
twirled his thumbs absrsctedIy, aud spit
profusely. Startling up quickly, he said
addressing the editor:

proceeds of that hem"
1t WAS amusing to see the peculiar eI-
preston Of the editor as he followed the
farmer down to the wagon. lcould hard
~ keep my risibIes down.
When at the wagon, the farmer COM
msnced handing over to the editor the
products of the hen, which, on being coun-
ted, amounted to eighteen pullets worth
a shilling each, number Of dozen OF eggo,
making in the aggregate, at the least cal
culation, 50 so, one dollar more than the
price of the paper.
"No need" said he, "of men not taking
a family newspaper, and paying for it
two. | don't miss this from my roost, yet
| have paid for years subscription, and
a dollar over. All folly, sir: there is no
man but can take paper; it's charity,
you know commences at home"
But" resumed the editor, II will pay
for what is over the subscription. | did
not intend this as means Of profit, but
rather to convince you. will pay for,-'
Not a bit of it, sir; bargain is bar
gain, and | am already repaid, sir, doubly
paid, sir. And whenever neighbol
makes the complaint l did, will relat.
to him the men story. Good day, gentle
