NEwsPAPERs.-AN New York journal
very justly compares the publisher of
a trust newspaper to farmer who
would sell his wheat on credit, and not
more than single bushel to any one
person, the payment of years sub

Importance AS the payment of a bnshel
of wheat would be to farmer. The
harder the times, the more entire il our
dependence on the payment of these
small yearly subscriptions.
The F.ribault Herald, in the course
of an excellent article on newspapers
and their influence upon the towns in
which they are published, says:
sThe announcement that ncwspa-
per is published in Il town, at once
gives a reputation Of Importance A
newspaper adds to the value Of Town
property i'll Town where it is publish

formation, they have been raised into dry land
in some places, and there remain now in other
places, after being elevated, they have been
again depressed, and received q new accession
of sediment, and then been again elevated, and
so on. The effect Of the action Of the ocean
opon the land is to wear It down and deposit 1t
in the form Of sediment. Now, when the sea
acts on sandstone rock, the nilOwn frag-
ments become sand, and the bed Of the sea is
sandy; and so on with any other rock Should
the rock on which the sea acts contain any min
eral, the bed Of the sea will have portions Of

Of the auriferous mass would be broken off and

When gold is found on the banks Of river Il
is generally an error to suppose that it has been
worn down from the original rocks BY the force

DOES ONES STYLE OF WALKING INDICATE HIS
CHARACTER Professor Fowler says that those
whose motions are awkward, yet easy, possess
much efficiency and positiveness of chhracte
yet lack polish and just in proportion as they
become refined III mind, will their mode of car
rioSe De correspondlngly improved. A short
and quick step indca brisk and active, but
rather contracted mind, whereas those who take
long steps, generally have long heads; yet if
their step be slow, they wilt make imperative
y little progress, while those whose step is long
and quick, will accomplish proporlionately
much and pass most OF their competitors on
the highway of life Their heads and plans,
too, will pnrtake of the same lar-reaehing char
acter evinced in their carriage. Those who
suf or draw their heels, drag aud drlwl in every
thing; while those who walk with springiug,
bounding step, abound in mental snap and
spring. Those whose walk is mncing, aifec ted
aud artificial, rarely, if ever, accomplish much
whereas those who walk carelessly, that is, ma L
uraly, are Just what they appear to be, and put
on nothing for outward show Those who in
walking, roll from side to side, lack direct
ness of character, and side every way. according
to circumstances whereas, those who take 0
bee line-that is, whose body moves neither tC
the right or left, but straight forward-have a
corresponding directness of purpose, and onenes;
of character. Those also who teeter up and
down when they walk, rising all inch or two
every step, will have many corresponding up!
and downs in life, because of their irregularl,
of charac ter and feeling. Those too, who make
great ado in walking, will make much need
less parade in everything else, and hence spenC
great amount of useless steam in all they un
dertake, vet accomplish little whereas thos'
who walk easily, or expend little strength il
