Running 4 Newspaper.

There is more truth than poetry in the
following paragraph, which comes from q
Memphis exchange. 1t may be suggestive
to some of our readers it is terribly sug
gessivs to many newspaper publishers;
BY some unaccountAbls misapprehension
OF facts, there is q large class OF people IN
the world who think that it costs little or
nothing to run o newspaper, and II they buy
q COPY from the newsboy, when too far from
the office to come and beg one, they are
regular patrons and entitled to unlimited
favors. Men cali every day at newspaper
otics to get a copy of the daily paper, just
from press, for nothing, who would never
dream of begging a pocket handkerchief
from a dry goods store, an apple from a
fruIs stand or a piece of candy from u con-
fectioner, even upon the plea of old acquain
lance, having bought something once before.
One paper is not much but . hundred q day
amounts to something in the course oftime.
But this is q small drain compared with the
tree advertising a paper ia expected to do.
Some men wno have paid two dollars at an
early period Of life for an advertisement
worth four or five appear to think they are
stockholders in the establishment for eternl.
ty. They demand the publication OF all
hlhIII0RC5 dAu oSSSS
and family episodes, for the next forty years
gratis. Speak of pay and they
grow indignant. Don't | patronize your
paper 2" Yes; but you receive
the worth of your money for what you pay
But says the patron, ut will not cost you
anything to pu, this in" which is just as
ridiculous as to ask e man to grind your exc
on his grindstone,, and graciously tell him
tina. 1t Won't cost him a cent. 1t takes
money to run a newspaper as well as any
other business, and no paper will succeed
financially that carries a dead head system,
Any mention of the peoples affairs that they
are anxious to see in prints worth paying for,
and when printed is generally as any other
investment Of the same amount.
The newspaper business is very e~1actiug
on ell connected with it, and the pay is
comparatively small; the proprietors risk
mole money for smaller profits, and the
editors, reporters and printers work harder
and cheaper than the same number of men in
any other profession requiring the given
amount of intelligence, training and drudg
cry. The life hssits charms and its pleasant
associations scarcely known by the outside
world; but it has its earnest work and
enxieties and hours of exhaustion which,
likewise, are not known to those who think
the business all fun. The idea that news
psperdom is a charmed circle, where the
favored men bers live q life o Tease and free
from care, and 90 to the circus at night on
q free ticket, and to the springs on a free
pass in the hummer, is an idea which we
desire to explode practically and theoreti-
cslly. Business is business, and the journal
taat succeeds is the one that is run on a
square business footing. the same as banking
or building bridges, keeping a hotel or
running a livery stable.

Mothers, Speak Low.

to be dreaded in a household. The
children catch it and it lasts for
life--a n incurable disease. A
friend has such neighbor within

and windows are open, and even
Poll Parrot has caught the tune,
and delights in screaming until
she has been sent into the country
to improve her habits. Children
catch cross tones quicker than par
rots, and it is q much more mis-
chievious habit. When mother
sets the example, you will scarce,

much scolding before they do any

they Tighten your burdens any ;
they make them only ten times
