SroNGING on PRINTERS. The Berk.
shire Courier never spoke truer words
than the following
"A great many societies, associations,
and people generally, have queer notions
about printers. They think they can
afford to print, puff, and publish all for
nothing. Let US give you an instance:
A man is desirous of advertising, AMI
after making contract for half dozen
lines, and beating US down to half price.
he wants to know if we can't throw in an
editorial puff, which in itself is worth more
than an advertisement. Would 1t not be
as sensible to ask grocer to throw in a
pound of coffee because you had bought
pound OF tea! People forget that ink and
paper cost money, and they seem astonished
it We ask pay for an obituary notice, IA
card OF thanks, a tribute of respect. or a
personal communication, or anything that
interests few persons and not the general
reader They forget that this business
makes them known. They forget that il
ls the printers ink that makes nine,tentbs
OF their immense fortunes; they forget
that 1t takes money to pay composition
to buy ink, type and paper; and lastly
they forget even to thank you for working
Tor nothing, by gratultously putting their
business or serving the public. Did you
ever hear OF anybody, or any corporation
thanking an editor tor what he had donee
Guess not. We print for money, and for
a reasonable price everybody can puff
themselves through our advertising col
umns, to their hearts content"

The Dependent.
To some this world is dark and lone
They see no sun above;
They see the dust upon the ground
They do not see the grove
Remind them that the sky Is fair,
And that the day is bright
They'll shake their heads, and family say,
Each day must havea night"
You point to them the flowers that bloom
And bid them note their stav
They love their fragrance and their hue
But then, they soon decay,
They love the days that spring-time bring-,
And feel the summers glow
But then, they dread the fal-tme rains,
And fear the winters snow.
To them this life is strife and pan--
Beyond this life is gloom
They see no softening, Heavenly light
They only see tho tomb
