tLe dAy We vel rcc0llect incident whicl

Bonner was member of DR. Hswess church, and
On agent for ore Of the issouary societies wss one
day in the Office making collections. The forensn
WHO proposed to give five dollars, thought Mr.. b.
with one or two other appr nilce1 ulsnt well give
too dellars each. He inquired oi the foreman II ne
would give double the suIn he Mr. 49, would con-
tribute, and upon receiving IN affirmative response
Immediately put down his rsme for eight d0l7rs,
which was certainly liberal, Considering thst 1t was
nearly fourth of his annual salery. The same re-
spect for religious institutions was csrrle TO New
York where be ma been prominently coanectet with
the Westminster Church. a single incident tells lts
own story. The church eub' 'rrassed by heavy
debt ard other societies had offered sixteen thou
sand collars on condition that us own members wO1d
raise tie balance Every string had been pulled and
between two and three tnousaud dollars renamed.
On a Sabbath afternoon the pastor N .de last appeal,
and urged IBIS congregation :" meet on the next even
iu and the propose AID could not be secured
hnuing almost against nope thai few Dundred dollars
might ther be raised a the pastor descenied from
the pulpit, Mr.. Bonner me. him, aud told him mat be
should be unable 10 be presen al the proposed meet
ing bui that whatever the deficiency might be, ne
would cad al his office the succeeding morning, lie
would give hm lis check for the am ,unt. These
incidents show the principles aud k1doess Of heart Of
the man. and in conducting his paper he aims to ac,
in accordance with them.
We have said that Mr. Bonner has claimed for The
Lc3gcr weekly circulation of three huGdred Thousand
copies. We knOs It Is mucn greater. To PRINT this
enormous edition, eight power presses run nythree
hours ont Of tue twenty breathing spe of only
half an hour being allowed between twelve aud one
o'clock at noon and at mi ingit. Hls weekly bill for
white pa alone is not far from s. coo. Each mum
ber is electroyped four times, set of the plates
being preserved for printing back numbers, the calls
for which great as to give constant employment
t. press.
We have occupied more space in detailing these in
cidents than intended. There but few stan ces
of such success record and the steps by which 1t
bas been achieved may serve as hints TO others la-
dusy perseverance, energy, moral principle and cor
rect business habits, lie st the iOundatiolon these q
superstructure bas been reared whose proportions
astonish ali, and probably none more than Mr. Bonner
himself,
