THE COURSE OF TRUE LovE-In the Co.

time an aged pauper, who has attained to the
somewhat remarkable age Of &c years, and in
the same establishment lives an antiquated
dame who is his junior by eight summers
Notwithstanding the freshness with which so
many winters have naturally invested this
venerable couple, it is said they still retain suf
ficient warmth OF affection TO institute deep
reciprocal attachment, and the aged pair arc
warmly DESTROYS, even at their late day, of per-
petrtting matrimony. But the lady being a
resident of the town of Hull, which pays her
board to Cohasset, and the old gentleman be-
longing 70 Cohasset, difficulty has arisen in
their case, and the course Of their true love has

How the Lion Woos his Bride.

Let Us first sketch the story of the lions
lfe-beginning with his marriage, which takes
place towards the end Of January. He was
first to seek his wife but as the males are
far more abundant than the females, who are
often cut off in infancy. it is not rare to find
a young lady peStered with the addresses of
three or four gallants, who quarrel with the
acerbity of jealous lovers. If one of them
does not succeed in disabling or driving away
the others, madam, impatient and dissatisfied,
leads them into the presence of an old lion,
whose roar she has appreciated at a distance.
The lovers fly to him with the temerity of
youth and eZasperaton. The old fellow re-
ceives them with calm assurance, breaks the
neck Of the first with his terrible jaws, smashes
the leg of the second, and tears out the eve
Of the third. No sooner is the day won and
the field clear than the lion tosses his name in
the air as he roGrs, and then crouches by the
side of his lady, who, as a reward for his
courage, icks his wounds caressingly.
When two adult lions are the rivals, the
encounter it more serious. An Arab, perched
in tree one night, saw lioness followed by
a tawny lion, with full-grown name she lay
down at the foot of the tree-the lion stopped
on his path and seemed to listen The Arab
then heard the distant growing of lion,
which was instantly replied to by the lioncss
under the tree This made her husband roar
furiously. The distant lion was heard ap-
preaching, and as he came nearer the lioness
rOared lOuder, which seemed to agtate her
husband fer he marched toward her as if to
force her to De quiet, and then sprang back
to his cid post, roaring defiance at his distant
Bradford reporter. [volume] (Towanda, Pa.) 1844-1884, 1860-11-08
Newspaper Publishing.

A veteran editor after an experience Of q
quarter Of a century, gives his opinion of the
common honesty Of mankind. Hear him:
d" We have tried the business for more than
a quarter Of a century, and regret to say that
our estimate of the aggregate honesty OF
mankind has been considerably lowered. =
There is great deal of latent, undeveoped
rascality in the race, aud if man has any
of its composition he is sure to exhibit it
when his newspaper subscription becomes due.
Within the last ten or fifteen years we have
been engaged in the business, we have lost
enough money, through the rascaiity Of our
customers, to make a man Of moderate de-
SjreS rich Many Of those who owe Us these
small amounts-from five to fifty doars-are
rolling in wealth, ard could pay any day in
the year. if they wished to do so. Many
others belong to the migratory tribe, who are
here to day and in Texas or California to-
morrow. Others belong to a class quite nu-
merousi who write to the editors to send them
papers, and they will pay when their crops or
do something else but payday never comes
and finally, after sending the paper for four
or five years, it IS ascertained thut they never
were worth a snap! Another class Of losses
grows out of the negligence of postmasiers.
A subscriber, after taking the paper for six
months or a year, leaves the country without
giving the editor notice, and, after foar or
five years have elapsed, he happens to meet
with the postmaster, who most magnanimously
informs him that bis subscriber has gone to
parts unknown and that, if he wishes to got
any pay for his paper, he had better stop it !
or, after suffering the paper to come two or
three years, he writes to the editor that for
the second or third time he will inform him
that the paper is not taken out &c.
These losses, and various others we might
refer to, absorb the profits of the business
to such an extent as greatly to discourage
those engaged in it.
Although we have had our full share Of
non-paying subscribers, and have been worse
swindled than any publisher we know. we
take much pleasure in saying that we have on
our books the names Of many gentlemen,
whose punctuaity, through long series of
years, always paying in advance, entities them
to be rated as the salt Of the earth Oh.
for an increase of the number.
Occasionally some one long in arrears,
