M1sTAkEs---The following are some of
the few mistakes which suggest themselves
to she publisher of newspaper:
Il is 1t mistake to suppose that the sub.
scripticn Of paper is clear gain to the
publisher,
1t is mistake 80 suppose that he obtains
his white paper for nothing.
1t is mista Ike to suppose that a paper
is printed without cost,
1t is mistake to suppose that a printer
can live bodil.;', by faith
1. is mistake to suppose thas il is easy
to please everybody.
1t is mistake TO suppose that money
due for the paper would be as good to us
, in year as now.
1t is mistake to suppose that we would
not be thankful for what is due, as well as
for new subscribers.

and just sufficient of the former is used to
color the water, which is impregnated with
gas. The cost per bottle of this stuff does
not exceed one cent, including cork, and is
: sold by tavern-keepers and others at the
, profitable price of ten cents
