The Cash system.

After full reflection, the Publishers of this paper
have become converts to the Cash System. The most
powerful argument which has urged them to this
position is found in their account books wherein is
recorded debt due them of over siry thousand dol
lars, accumulated since the 18th of May 1858, and
for subscriptions alone Of more than forty thousand
dollars Here is q suspended debt for subscriptions
averaging near eight Thousand dollars per year 1t
will probably eventually net not much more than
half its aggregate amount The loss snOt, however,
wholly ours. portion Of it is made up by a tax
on cur FuEetual subscribers: as unjust 10 them as
the loss of the remaining portion is TO US. The
remedy for this evil beth to ourselves and our pune
tual subscribers, is in the cash system. Adopting
this system we do from this day, we shall be able
to afford our weekly paper at a reduced rate. Our
plan is this On the 18th day Of May next We shall
erase from our subscription lists every name not in
advance. From this date We shall enter no new
name our books unless the money accompanies
the order From this day shall eRerge,ically en-
desvOr to collect the money due old accounts,
and make no new ores. Our weekly paper viii be
two dollars per year Those who have already paid
in advance beyond the 10Th of May, 1859, will be
allowed the benefit of this reduction from that date
ES- We shall keep this notice st0RdiHg columns
until the 18Th Of Nay, and on that dag erase eOeTy

His SON Lertes and Ii. daughter
Ophel,a come in.
Lertes--Im ready to start. Good
bye, sis let me hear from you.
OpAelia-Do you doubt itf
Lerte.-For that fellow Hamlet, look
out he's just putin" on" He may
sorter like you now, but he's big, hifa-
lutin' fellow, and has to marry to suit bis
people. Don't believe what he says un-
less he proves it by bis acts. Mind what
he says, and look out for squalls. Agal
can't be too particular with such fellows,
especially one like him, good lookin' and
smart.
Oph.-I'll take your advice, buddy.
but look here, don't be talkin' to me so
particular, and then turn round and do
bad yourself!
Ler.-Well. / won't. Here comes
daddy.
Polonius walks in.
Pol.-Hallo, Lertes, not gone yet p
l thought you was going ever SO FAST
Let me give you some good advice be-
fore you go. Don't tell every thing you
know. BE sociable and friendly with
people, but not too thick on short &C.
quaintance. When you have a friend,
and you find he totes fair stick to him
and hold him as tight as if you had him
hooked on to you With steel hooks
Don't wear out your hand, telling every
body how dye" Keep out Of fusses,
but if you do get into one give the fellow
that got you in particular fits, so he'll let
you alone. Listen good deal, and don't
talk much. Buy as good clothes as you
are able to pay for, but don't get fancy
suit-pretty fine, but no red in it. Soms
people Judge feller by his clothes, par
ticularly the frog-eating Frenchmen,
where you are going Don't lend or bor-
row, for feller very often hurts feelings
in the end by it, and its bad way, any
how. But of all things, son, look ont for
number one, and you'll always win
Good bye.
Ly.-Good bye, sis, and remember
what told you.
Oph.--Of course. .gs
Pol.-What has he been telling you!
Pho.-About Hamlet.
Pol.-It was very good idea. !
hear that he has ben setting up to you
right smart lately, and a leetle more than
may be healthy, and I'd like to know
how it is?
Pho.--Well, daddy, he has told me he
thought power Of me. -
Pol.-Do you believe word of it,
Opal don't exactly know what TO
think.
Pol.-Well, III tell you--if YOU don't
mind, he'll make fool Of you.
Oph.-Why, daddy, he told me he
loved me powerful, sure.
Pol.-Oh, shucks just let me tell you,
once for all, he's wild, rattling, rip
snortin,' hifalutin fellow, and would just
as soon tell you lie as the truth, and
don't you never believe nary word he
