The Bible has often been looked upon
hy some rs inconsistent in regard to it's
truth. Bu. SD many attempts have been
made to Illustrate the well intended the0-
ry Of its composition that, were it not Il
book Of divine truth, the arguments
brought against itwould have, ere this, an
initiated all respect to its weigh. or its
teachings.
The Bible is an invaluable gift to the
poor suppliant for divine mercy. and its
Lagos are filed with that consolation and
comfort which no other book has ever
yielded. The wisdom Of Solomon, and the
good advice given TO Us by him, are mani-
tested in his inastimab!e Proverbs, and
an earnest reader cannot bat derive some
counsel, which, if but properly used, will
prove a blessing to him in all his trials and
temptations, and soften q. once the hard

What a Newspaper Does For Nothing

The following article should be read and
pondered well by every man that takes
our paper without paying for it:
The result of my observation enables
me to state fact, that the publishers Of
newspapers are more poorly rewarded
than any men in the United States, whom
vest an equal amount Of labor, capital and
thought. They are expected to do more
service for less pay; to stand more spung-
ing and dead heading; to puff and defend
more people without fees or hope OF re-
ward than all other classes. They credit
wider and longer, get ofteuer cheated, suf-
fer more pecuniary losses, are oftener the
victims of misplaced confidence than any
other 1t goes harder for some men to
eXpend a dollar on a valuable newspaper
than ten on needless gew gaws, yet every.
body avails himself Of the EDITORS pen and
printers ink.
How many professional men and politi
cal regulations and fortunes have been
made and sustained by the friendly, though
unrequited pen of the editor? How many
railroads., now in successful operation
would have lOundcred but for the lever
that moves the world" In short, wha
branch Of industry and activity has no
been promoted, stimulated and defended
substantially 10y the press
Ana who has rendered it more than
miserable pittance orits mighty services
The blz5rs of fashion and the haunts o
Iappetitc and dissipation, are thronged by

are sold at enormous profits though in
