Subscribers Cia>>ified.

One Of the Chicago editors gets of a
good hit at newspaper subscribers. He
divides them into classes, which he says
are capable Of innumerablo subdivisions
According to his "booktionary,' the first
olass are the upright. These are the
me" who take the newspapers, pay for
them and read item. They do thin. Q
by system They pay first and then read
They are generally intelligent men, and
consider that they get the worth Of their
money. 1t seems as fair and just to
them that the newspaper should be paik
for, as barrel of flour or anew coat
They never entertained any other opin-
ion. When the year runs out they ate
on hand again with the pay. This class
the editor remarks, are dear to the heart
of the printer. They are imaged in his
affections and they are universally res
pected. u.
The second elias, are the do-wells.-
These are in some degree, related to the
first. They pay up during the first six
months-"intended to do SO before but
forgot it," They never forget if hey
fail to receive paper once a week.
They won't let the printer suffer, if re.
minded Of his shortcomi ng.
The third class are the easy-doers. -
They believe in newspapers--always
read They take the paper without urg.
ing. They come up like men and pay
for it the 6rst year. The next year rolls
around and they quiet themselves with
the conviction that they paid for it the
first year, aud on the strength Of thai

encr.
The fourth class are the dorn-hi1lers.
One Of these takes paper "becaase his
wife wants it," or ncighbor persuades
him. When it begins to come he spends
no thought upon it further. In the
course Of the year, if the constable visits
him, he may pay up, grudgingly, and
with growls and surly looks. An ordi.
nary dun has no more effect upon him
than bullet on tho side Of hippot:. :.

men.
The Gfth class arc the nir cum rosse.

however, and soon gives them up, - he

The sixth and last class are the scope

grace is. One of these fellows never
fails to take five or six newspapers.-
When he thinks they have come about
long enough for the publisher to begin to
want his pay, he sends word to "stop it,"
or decamrs for "parts unknown" He
never intends to pay for it, and DON'T

A friend has osked US to give our
opinion as to the merits Of Grover ssd
Bakers Sewing. Machine, and to stste
whether they are valuable for family use.
We will make our reply publicly, for two
reasons--6rst, that We may not be obliged
to write the same thing tOr other inqair-
ers; and second, that the readers Who
would not inquire, may have the advan-
tage of it If it is worth anything.
The Grover and Baker machine, % far
as We have heard it spoken OF By those
who have used it works entirely salts.
factorily. It scws . strong. firm scam,
not liable to rip when not desired, but
which can be ripped readily when noces-
sary. Each stich fastcns itself, and
when you get to the end Of the seam it il
finished, taking no time or waste Of
thread TO fastcn it. 1t sews directly
from two spools, obviating the necessity
Of rc-windins. 1t is rendily learned,
easily managed, aud not liable to get out
repair
Hwil hem, fell, gather, tuck quilt, aod
smbroider in style entirely satisfactory
to the most particular. ..-
The manufacturers would undoubtedly
add to this list of merits, almost ad in
.fnifun,; aud there is one thing more We
think Of as We write: it il great con.
servator of woman's good nature, and
goo looks, too. So our advice to oil
husbands who would see the faces of their
wives cheerful aud pleasant instead Of
careworn and dcsponding, oil fathere
who would gain time for their daughters
to improve their minds, and bodies also
all brothers who wish to do brotherly
thing for loving sister, is to buy them
a sewing machine.-L;ts Msstrated.
