What IA Newspaper Does for
HuiIling.

The following article should be read and
pondercd well by every mar who takes d
newspaper without paying for il:
My observation enables me to stale, as a
fact, the publishers Of Newspapers IRE
more poorly rewarded than any other class
of men in tho United Ssatcs who invest an
equal amount of labor, capital aud thought.
They are expected to do more service f0l
less pay, to stand more sp0ngng and dead
heading, to puff and defend more people
without fee or hope of reward than any
other class.
They credit wider and longer get oftener
cheated, suffer more pccuniary losses; are
ottener Il victims Of misplaced confidence
than AIRY other calling in the community -
People pay printers bin with much more
reluctance than any other. 1t goes harder
with them to cxpcnd dollar on a valuable
newsp. per, than ten on needless gew gaw
yet every body avais himself Of the use OF
the editor pen and the printers ink.
How many professional men and political
regulations and fortunes have been made
and sustained by the friendly though unre-
mittcd pen of the editor? How embryo
towns and cities have been brought into
notice and putfed into prosperity ny the
press? How many railroads now in sue
cessIul operation, would have been founder
cd but for the ''lever' that moves the world.
In short, what branch Of industry Or actiNi-
ty has not been promoted, stipulated and
defended by the press?
And who has rendered it more than a
miserable pittance for its mighty services?
The bazaars of fashion aud the haunts of
dissipation and appetite are throngel with
an eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms
and the commodities there needed are sold
at enormous profits, thongh intrinsically
worthless, and paid for with scrupulou>
pmctuality; W lille the counting-room Of the
newspaper is the seat of jewing, cheapning
trade, orders aud pennies. 1t is made a
point Of honor to liquidatc a grog bill, but
not Of dishonor to rcpudiate a printers
bill.

A BAsnFUL and rather green young fellow
invited young lady to attend a ball with
him, one night last summer: The invitation
was accepted, and the couple appeared at
the ball. After dancing for some time,
"greeny' saw his partner sittifis in one cor
ner OF the room all alone. Now was his
chance, so he walked up to where the lady
was 'itting and sat down beside her. All
well so far; but the ba,hful fellow was at a
loss for something to say: He fdgeted
about considerably, and was sweating nro-

collar, he commenced the conversation thus:

Planting by the Moon

There are a great many who ridicule the
idea of planting by thcmoon; but experience
is wiser than science, and many Of the most
successful gardeners observe rigidly thc
rules of planting according to the changes OF
the moon. An old friend, in whom we
have faith, assures us that all vegetables OF
the vine kind, rs beans, peas, potatoes. &C.,
bear more luxuriantly if planted in. the FIRST
three or four days after full moon; ard that
corn planted on the decline Of the moon
will make heavier ears than if planted at
any other time. Let our gardeners and
planters remember this, and make the ex-
pertinent.
