Saturday last, comes to us printed on paper
as yellow as "gowld" of which circumstance
the editor speaks as follows:
The reader will perceive "by reference to
another column" that the Democrat is
printed this week on yellow paper. The COM
plexion of the sheet is in no measure that
of our prospects-as will be conceded after
glance at the array of new advertisements
in this number. The explanation is, we
have paper on the road. in the railroad de-

bound or becalmed, somewhere between this
and Vigilantedom-as we are assured by

you charge me for a weeks service, or

The poor girls heart sank within her,
for should her bill be anything like
that, how could she ever pay it? The
lawyer paid his bin and passed out, /.
when the doctor turned to the young
woman and kindly inquired her errand.
g came," said she, i" to know what

"I attended you about week" said
he.
g Yes, sir"
"What do you get per week ?"
Seventy FIVE cents" said she.
" Is that all ?''
Yes, sir.'
"Then your bill is seventy-fvs cents.''
The poor girl paid him thankfully,
and went back with light heart.
An old and rich man of my acquain-
taince was once remarking to doctor,
that no one earned their money so easy as
doctor, or could get sich SO easily. Tho
doctor reminded him of the many losses
incurred, as they must visit the poor as
well as the rich.
"Well," said my old friend, "you
must charge the rich more, and then
you can afford to lose by the poor"
Not many weeks after, the old man was
oblidged to employ the doctor for some
time. At the last visit the bill was
presented, and strongly protested as
enormously high.
But" said the doctor, " you know
what you said to me, aud have only
followed your advice"
Not word more was said, but the
amount was Immediately paid,
