Thatw which goes to make up the aggre

within the last year. Paper bought six
months ago at S6 per bundle now costs
$40. Before this advance our paper
barely let us live. We will now scarce

reach our subscribers. We do not pro-
pose (as other papers have done) to ad

ask our patrons, and we hope they will
heed the appeal, to come forward and pay
up their arrears.
You doubtless think the 81 80 you
Dws for The present, or the SS oO you
owe for the past and present years, is
small thing. Well. so it is to you, but
you must remember that BY. these small
amounts We live, ard that the thousand or

handsome sum. We hope each of our
patrons who is in arrears will consider

Two little girls with earnest air,
With bright and trusting smile. ...

Ahl that sweet, simple eloquence,
Breathed In that artless form;
That gratitude without pre,enee,
From hearts so true and warm
lttouched the deeptoned, pleasant chord,
That fingered in my breast,
Which never thrilled at taatlering word,
By adult lips expressed.
Go on, dear children, you will gain,
The knowledge you desire,
BE good, obedient, Aeut and plain,
To wisdom e'er aspire;
Ere loUg you must the places nll,
Your parents do hold,
Love God, and do his holy will,
Your Joys cannot be told. ....

And guides TO better land;
