The CASH SysTEM.-We have determined
ii possible, to do business apon the cash
system. The losses which newspaper pub
fishers have heretofore suffered by the pro.
naise-to pay system, have been ruinous in the
extreme. The leading journals all over The
country are adopting the only safe plan that
can be pursued, and demand payment in
advance from subscribers. They enter no
name upon their subscription books, unless
il is accompanied with the cash, and when.
ever the money runs out the paper is stop
: ped until another payment is forthcoming
An editor who has had long experience in
the business, very forcibly remarks that it
is rather amazing that any journal anywhere
should be conducted on any other than the
cash system. Credit is the inveierate scourge
of American newspaper men, being utterly
newspaper men, who have been twenty
years or more in The business, have enough

them comfortable for the rest of their DAYS /:

cred to raise The requisite dimes wherewiih
to celebrate the next 4th of July. BY the
way, unhappy brethren of the credit press,
why not commemorate the next anniversary
of National Independence by cutting loose
from the sharks who eat out your substance?
Just proclaim on that day that no man can
have your paper thenceforlh unless he shall
have paid for it, and you will have reason
TO bless the day and the deed eyermore.
Whenever the press shall have purged il
self of the credit system, it will be ready TO
help overthrow mercantile credit--a system
which enables rogues and drones to live
uselessly and often fare sumptuousIy at the
cost of honest, industrious people. When
ever pay down shall be the general rule in
buying goods, their average cost to consul
mers will be reduced at least len per cent.

DECEMBER, although the first of the drea.
ry months, is reallyrhe happiest month ol
the year TO large portion of humanity
For in this month comes all the mysterious
emulation of gitl-making preparations. In
this month the young folks are specializing
largely upon their Christmas vocation and
their visits from ST. Nicholas, or their fami.
ly festivities and merry makings of all kinds.
In this month, "a twelve months Joys, and
sometimes a twelve. months sorrows, are
summed up, and there is fresh talk of the
ever-promised new leaf to be turned over.
But serious thoughts and gloomy misgivings
are in the minority in Dec, and there is
always unanimous determination TO have
at least ia happy new year." Consequent
ly we can truthfully say, December is the
happiest month of the twelve.
