vantage on her medium-sized figure.
With intense interest she watches
the progress of the suit. While the
unromantic counsel read very
tamely her affeetionate effusions,
she famed herself vigorously. At
another time, she leaned on her
mothers shoulder, and a aood Of
tears essed her pent-up feelings,
when again she was powerfully af
fected by some evidence, and her
whole frame was convulsed and
shook like an aspen leaf. Certainly
she evoked much sympathy from
the audience.

YENDER.-There are some people who
claim TO be SO particularly tender in their
feelings that they cannot cut the head off
chicken, or be an eye witness to even
an Indifferent surgical operation who arc
shocked when the head of venomous
reptile is crushed under stone in the
hands of an idle boy, and who cannot
hear child cry on the street without
stopping to pat it on tho head and inquire
the cause of its sorrows and yet we have
known such to employ means the most
vile to injure their neighbors character,
defraud the widow and the orphan of
their just rights; rob and plunder others,
by indirection, in order to enrich them
selves, and turn the beggar, whom they
had wrenged, away from their door with
out food or shelter. There seems to be q
singular contradiction in such characters,
which TO us is inexplicable, and it would
appear that their very tenderness, if such
it may be called, IS given to them, at
times, in order to make their acts more
Infamous and aevilish, and their conduct
more reprehensible. Such people are a
riddle which is hard to solve

matter than yours Does that man con-
slider that it's receipts for one week are
double the yearly receipts of country
paper2 Does be consider also that if that
paper were Published a thousand years it
would not benefit him as much as his home
paper does in one? That is the thing.
See which will build up your own section !;
see which will be the greater benefit to
yosr own district. 1t is the county pa
per that directs the attention of people to
your farms, and publishes to the world it's
advantages, invites capital and advances
interest in it's own and adjoining counties.
Besides, is it tree that the hugo weekly
made up of the ponderous articles of the
daily contains more valuable matter than
the county paper Is it not always filled
up with lengthy editorials on some SUBJ
ject foreign to your interests and your
taste, with long-winded, .gusty novels.
(tho very bane Of the reading public) and
extended accounts of this and that while
your county paper if conducted properly,
will give you everything of Importance IN
the most concise manner, and You have
your timeleft to spend in something moro
profitable than wading through whole
case of type.
Let no one fail to take bis county paper
first, and if he should want daily Let
that be q second consideration.
