THE GAZETTE.
THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY q.

- The NEWSPAPER. "A man eats a pound Of
sugar and it is gone, and the pleasure he has
enjoyed is ended, but the information he gets
from newspaper is treasured up to be enjoy
ed anew and to be used whenever occasion or
inclination calls for it. A newspaper Is not
the wisdom of one man or two men it is the
wisdom Of the age, and of past ages, too. A
family without a newspaper is always year. pc
hind the time in general information besides
they can never think much nor find much to
think about. And then there are the little
ones growing up without any taste for reading.
Who, then, would be without newspaper
and who would read one regularly without pay
ing for it -:
To TELLTHE NUMBER THAT ANY PERSON
THINKS oF-Bid the person double the num-
Der he has fixed on in his mind, multiplying the
sum of them By FIVE, and give you the product,
which they will not refuse to do, it being far
above the number thought of, from which, if
you cut off the last figure of the product will
always be cipher or five, the number left
will be the first thought of. As for example !:
Let the number thought Of be 26, which
doubled makes SO !; that multiplied by FIVE pro-
duces 260 then if you take away the cipher
which is in the place there will remain 26, the
number first thought of.
