Cheap Literature.

We not infrequentlyi hear the invidio1s
remark, and witness the s~neering curl of the
lip, when allusion is made to cheap newspa-
pers, and cheap literature in general. They
seem to regard c~heapness, as being synony.
nous with inferiority. But the one is not
consequent upon the other, by any means.
pnthe contrary, cheap literature has hither.
to given a stimulus to general education. and
raised the character of the Press in point Of
ability and freshness and if that cheao lit.
%erature in turn is stimulated by the removal
of restriction to knowledge, the good accom-
plished will be i~ncalculable upon the desti-
MES of both Church and State. Our own
humble Spirit 0 fthe Age, by its very cheap.
ness, has carried the first ray of light and
knowledge into many an obscure and dark
ened mind, from whence will yet issue a light
and glory that will e~lectrify earth and heav
en-. Bless God for cheap literature.

Lazy Lawrence.

Look out for Lazy Lawrence. The fellow
comes among US with the first zephyr of
Spring, and fingers until the falling leaves
of Autumn warn him to take his departure.
He seizes upon all classes and all ages, and
once obtaining a firm hold of his victim, he is
harder to shake off than was the Old Man Of
the Mountain, mentioned in the history Of
Sinbad the Sailor. The moment his depres
sing influence begins to steal upon your sen
ses, exert all the power at your command and
cast him off. He will fly at the slightest de-
monstration of activity and energy, and so
long as you can manage to keep moving he
will not venture to modest you. But only let
him get a good grip upon you, and your use

mer term, is gone Arouse, and avert the
plague of ~laziness As the political rapert
say on the morning of an election day. +. Be
