The following from the Cincinnati
Commercial is just as applicable in this
locality as anywhere
A great many excellent people are of
opinion, that when they are engaged in
an enterprise that they assume is chari-
table in its nature, they are entitled to
free advertising and unlimited puffery in
the newspapers; and the newspaper pro-
prietor who objects to placing himself at
at their service is regarded as an inten-
sely improper person, uncharitable, un-
f'6t for treason, stratagens
and spoils. Beneyolept persons are
not entirely correct in this judgBeBt The
manager Of a. newspaper is entitled 10
his Judgment as to what enterprises are
really charitable and judicious. He is
entitled to regard the columns Of reading
matter under his control as valuable for
the information Of public. and so far as
he can make them so. sacred from in
hrusion even under pretenses Of pure be
nevolence. He has large expenses, and
has alright to look upon his advertising
columns as sources Of revenue not to be
abatcd at the suggestion that II Is done
in the name of charity and sweet good
will to mankind. And the manager OF
A newspaper has a right TO regard HIM
self as engaged in a legitimate pnEt9,..e
bnsiness. He is not necessarily a p0nhC
Sb5raCtcr. and is as clearly entitled TO
his privacy, and the exclusive conduct
of his own business, as the keeper OF a
grocerD, or drug store. If he is pros
ferrous. it is reasonable 10 expect HIM to
be charitable; bat he must claim the
privilege of discriminating in his charities
as other persons do. and Of doing il in his
own way. He will probably prefer to
pay his subscriptions in aid Of charitable
enterprises, in cash, and to demand for
the advertising that is done for those en-
tcrprises "the regular rates; and If he

THE OLD GN4RLED APPLE
TREE.
BY MRS. X. N. SHERWOOD.

4 or all the childish memories,
That brighten with the d. ing years.
] And bring n giadneSS t. the eyes
/ Like Laughter coming afier t3srs,
! There's none that makes the hearG bound
I With All is old-ti1oe JoIlity,
! Like that sweet vision of the lawn,
The old gnarled apple tree.
/ It stood Just where the lawn swept down
| Into a rapid, sfeep descent,
/ Benzath each stately neighbqr 8 froEns -
A placid picture OF con ent
And lot the years briug what they would,
The orchards bare, or buruened be,
Abundant fruit il bore and good,
The old gnaried apple tree
Twas said that many years agOne
"A ssd-f4eed lady, with her child,
Came uBattenGed and alone,
And dwelt within the western wild:
She, by the simple people round,
Was more than hunan deemed TO besF rF4
Her sanity hand placed IN the ground
The old gnarled apple tree.
The woman seemed half happy grown.
The cfsfif Was desolafe and sad,
The flowers and the birds had flown,
rne only playmates that he had
And SO, Ote day, in WantOn play,
H toyed with vine ana shrub and tree, -
Que tender sapling broken lay
The old gRarledupple tree.
The woman hound 1t, with q teak,
And blessed it, in her sanity way;
y
AS have heard the people say
The Spring-tiIne alWay s brings her bloom,
The summer fruItage far TO see,
To crown with plenty and Perfume
The old gnarled apple tree,
All glad things loved the dear old tree,
Aud early came the ErOOpfng jay,
The robin and the hOney-liee-
And children laughing in the way,
And in the dawn and in the dew
Arose a Joyous melody
The praiseful sOng OF Nature to
The old gnarIed apple tree.
My little sister fair and sweet
Now sadly far from me, ALAS
, Twas surely yesterday our feet
Slipped softly through the deWy grass,
Slipped through the grass and through the
gloom,
And Wild with merriment and glee,
We fllled our widespread aprons from
The old gnarled apple tree.
Do hut wandeFe When alone
My life grows young and glad and warm
The dearest joys The heart has known
Are void OF earthly shape and fprmi
Then fly any soul and claspagain
The sacred sweets OF memory
fhe fondest loves OF youth enchafn

Of books Of literature and science, and

fact that the proposed change will in
