Newspaper Patronage.

There seems to be great many different
ways Of defaing and understanding the phrase
"newspaper patronage" and as party inter
ested in a correct definition of the same, we
give the following disquisition on the subject
by one who knows whereof he speaks. 1t
may serve perhaps as a mirror, in which GER
tain parties may be able to see themselves as
others see them"
Many long and dreary years in the publish
ing business has forced the conviction upon
us that newspaper patronage is word of
many definitions, and that a great majority OF
mankind are either ignorant of the correct
definition or are dishonest in strict biblical
sense of the word. Newspaper patronage is
as changeable as chameleon.
One man comes in, subscribes for paper,
pays for it in advance and goes home and
reads it with a proud satisfaction that it is
his. He hands in his advertisement and he
reaps the advantage thereof. This is patron
age.
Another man asks you to send him the pa
per, and goes off without saying word about
the pay. Time passes on you are in need of
money and ask him to pay the sum he owes
you. lie flies into passion, perhaps pays,
perhaps not, and orders his paper stopped
This is called patronage
One man brings in a fifty cent advertise
ment and wants a two dollar puff thrown in,
and when you decline, he goes off mad Even
this is called patronage.
Another man don't take your paper, it is
too high priced but he borrows and reads it
regularly, and that could be called newspaper
patronage.
One man likes your paper, he takes copy
pays for it, and gets his friends to do the
same; he is not always grumbling to you OF
others, but has friendly word. If any &C
ton occurs in his section he informs the edi.
tor. This is newspaper patronage
One hands you marriage or other notice
and asks for extra copies containing it; and
when you ask him to pay for the papers, he
looks surprised: You surely don't take
| pay for such small matters?" This is called
newspaper patronage
One Git is good to see such) comes in and
says: 1.-The year for which l paid is about
to expire, want to paw for another" He
does so and retires. This is newspaper pat
ronage.
| 1t will be seen by the above that while GER
tain kinds of patronage are the very life o
the newspaper, there are other kinds more
fatal to its health and ejaculation than the
coils OF boa constructor are to the luckles:
prey he patronlzes.

LYING ABED IN THE MORNING.

If 4 LYING ABED In IHE MORNlNG.
I love to rove in the seedy grove,
Where gentle zephyrs are floating;
l love to sit at the festal board,
Where buckwheat cakes are smoking.
love to gaze at the golden haze,
Where Sol the west adjoining;
But this I love far better than all &c
To lie abed in the morning.
The poets should sing of the joys of spring
Is not in the least surprising;
But I cannot conceive why man should weave
A sonnet to early rising
Though Franklin of old was sage I'm told,
can't go with him in scoring
The blissful scenes in the land of dreams.
When lying abed in the morning.
l love to lie when the sunbeams shy
Come peeping through the curtains;
When phantoms bright regale the sight
With visions of coffee and mutton.
When the birds loud trill from the distant hill
The chorus of nature is joining
If there's aught below can Danish woe
IT'S lying abed in the morning.
Let those who choose retire to snooze
When the ducks and chickens are going,
And rub their eyes when, forced to rise
At Chandeliers dismal growing; .4rs
They loose sight of the gorgeous night,
And spend their days in yawning-
Till midnight damp I'll burn the lamp,
And lie abed in the morning.

A Dull Clerk.

Pickerncl, successful dry-goods merchant
of Boston. was waited upon at his hotel by a
gentleman farmer" who was DESTROYS of get.
ting boy, for whom he was guardian, a
place in Boston. Of course he was an un-
common smart boy; quick at figures, strong
OF intuition, and every way fit, he should
judge, to become merchant. Pickernel
thought it over, and said he would try and
make place for him. In due time the boy
arrived at Pickernel's store, his broad face
rudy with health and soapy from the morn
| ing wash, his hair slicked, his clothes new
and uncomfortable, and stiff dickey cutting
his cars. He announced himself as the boy.
&c.
"Ah you are the boy, are your said
Pickernel
eyes, Tspose SO, replied the youngstcr
"Well, come in here, then, I am very busy
but | will examine you in a few practical
questions"
The boy came in, and sitting down on the
desk, swung his heels underneath it as though
he felt entirely at home, waiting the qucs-
tons.
"Wel," said Pickernel, suppose lady
should come in here and buy dress OF fifteen
and half yards Of calico for eleven and
half cents yard what would it come to 2"
The boy looked at his questoner, at the
ceiling, at the floor, in state OF great bewil-
dermcnt.
GLOW much calikee p" he asked.
"Fifteen and half yards"
"What price ?"
"Eleven and a half cents"
"Well" said he, 'I'm darned if believe
any woman ever wanted so much cloth as that
for dress"
This was throwing up the sponge, and
Pickernel put another question.
"How much would five pounds of tea come
to at seventy-five cents and three quarters
per pound? p
He received this pretty much the same as
the other, and, after waiting a minute, he
asked:
WAS it green or black tea ?"
Without answering, Pickernel put another
question
Suppose I should send you out with two
dollar bill, and you should buy fourteen and
half pounds Of beef at seven and a half
cents a pound, how much would you have
left 2"
The boy looked at him an instant, and then
INDUCED in low whistle.
~ gu don't spose," said he, "you could get
beef anywhere at seven and half cents
pound, do YEP"
Pckernal gave up at this. He asked him
no more questions. but sent him back next
day with letter, stating that he didn't think
he would a:esacer.

Push oN.-A wise man will never rust
out. AS long as he brcaths the breath Of
life, he will be doing something for himself,
his country or posterity. Washington, Frank
lin, Howard, Young, Newton, all were at
work almost to the last hours of their exist
cnce. 1t is a foolish thing to believe that we
must lie down and die simply because we are
old. The man of energy is not old it is only
he that suffers his energies to waste away and
permits the springs Of his life to become mo-
,ionless, on whose hands the hours drag heav-
lily, aud to whom all things wear the 7est-
ments of gloom There are scores of gray
heads living to day that we would prefer in
any important enterprise to those young gem
tlemen who fear and tremble when shadows
approach, and turn away at the first harsh
word or discouraging ffown.

INDIVIDUAL INsIGNIFIcANcE IS IT,
knowledge is not learned in solitude; where
none oppose the will becomes tyrant. You
must learn from suffering wiser Judgment
of your powers. Youth, presumption, and
inexperience fit you not to cope with man,
much less with heaven. You will not find
yourself the conqueror in every mortal strug-

be made as soon as the water bois, or the gas
escapes and the flavor is destroyed.
Molasses is improved by boiling and should
be boiled and set away for cake and other
purposes.
Cranberries should have water kept on them
aud changed every two weeks.
Scour zinc with sand and butter milk.
Pour hot tallow on ink spots; let it remain
a few minutes before washing.
To give gloss to shirt bosoms and collars
add a piece of white wax and spermaccti, each
about the size of pea, to pint Of starch
while boiling. Iron until smooth, as friction
puts on the gloss
Another; pour boiling water on gumara-
bic, and when dissolved, put in a bottle cork

and it will give fine gloss.
