Newspapers.

Nothing is more common than to hear
people talk of what they pay for the
newspapers, etc., as so much given to
charity. Newspapers by enhancing the
value of the property in the neighbor-
hood, and giving the localities in which
they are published a reputation abroad
benefit all such; particularly if they are
merchants or real estate owners. thrice
the amount weekly of the meagre sum
they pay for their support. Besides,
every public spirited citizen has land
able pride in having paper of which
he is not ashamed. \ good looking and
thriving paper helps property, gives a
character to locality, and is in many re-
spects a public convenience. If from
any cause the matter in the local or edi-
torial columns should not be up to your
standard, do not east it aside and pro-
nounce it good for nothing until salts
fled that there has been no more labor
on it than is paid for. If you want a
good, readable sheet, it must be support
ed. And it must not lbe supported in
feeling of charity either, but because
you feel it necessity to support it. The
press is the power that moves the peo-
nile

Bad Debts.

No position in the world requires a
greater amount of ability and prudence
than that of the merchant. No profess
sion demands closer attention and more
constant supervision, and in none is
there so large an amount of apprehen-
sion and anxiety. The career OF the
merchant is essentially game of skill.
Without ability it is almost impossible
he should succeed, and without the
strictest attention to details there is no
hope of success. Yet how futile does it
seem that a merchant should labor all
the year round to accumulate profits,
and find at the end of the year that the
balance to his credit is greatly lessened
by bad debts. lie labOrs to no purpose
for the extension of his business, if the
result of increased eXertions is counter
balanced by increased losses. There is
no department of business which re-
qnires greater watchfulness, and none in
which there is greater liability to fail
ure than in granting credits. The firm
that continually assumes hazardous ac-
counts is certain to collapse. The eX-
perience has been, and always will be,
that no matter how profitable may be
the prices obtained, they will never
compensate for improper risks. Besides
the prospects of positive loss from
weak accounts, the anxiety and increas-
ed exertion which they necessitate is
most trying. -
