County Papers,

We sometimes meet individuals
who complain of their county papers
and cease to take it, preferring to sub
scribe fora city paper. An exchange
very truthfuily says they do not COM
prehend the facts in relation to the
publication and support of papers.
In the first place, the terms of nearly
all the city papers are the same as the
country papers--$2 for a single copy
and the only way they get them for
less than that price is by clubbing, and
sending for a number of copies at a
time. Then again they must %invaria-
bly, send the money in advance, which
they very seldom do for their county
paper. But the principal difference
consists in the fact that it costs the
publishers of the country paper the
same to set his type that it does the
city publisher, and setting the type is
the principal expense in publishing a
newspaper of small circulation. At
ter the type is once set, the expense is
merely then for the blank paper and
press-work, and the paper with an
hundred thousand subscribers is very
profitable at two dollars-of course
the large city papers contain a larger
amount of reading matter than coun-
try papers, but which is most interest
ing? That's the question. Do the
city papers say anything in regard to
your own county? Nothing. Do they
contain notice of your schools, church
es, meetings, marriages and hundreds
of other local matters OF interest which
the county papers publish without
pay? Not an item. Do they ever say
a word calculated to draw attention
to our county and its numerous thri'
wing towns, and aid in our progress
and enterprise? Not a line. And
vet, there are men who take the con.
tracted view of this matter that unless
they are getting as many square inches
of reading matter in their county pa
per as they do in their city paper, they
are not getting the worth of their mo
ney. 1t reminds us of the person whC
took the largest pair of boots in thu
box, simply because they cost the sam
a. the pair much smaller that fit.

Amusamanfs,

Our town for the past week has been
alive with places of amusement. Sab
bath School Festivals, Concerts, Balls,
'sSurprise'' parties and Rail Road meet
ings, have been sc thick that it is impos-
sible for us to give al extended notice
to all them or to particularise. Suffice
it to say, that everything passed off pleas
autly, and everybody seemed to enjoy
themselves to the extent of their capaci-
terrain, the Baptist, the Christian and the
Universalist, each gave an entertainment
which no doubt was Il source of much
qualification and pleasure to the chill
dren and reflected credit upon the Tea
cheers OF the several Schools. That these
Christian associations should commence
rate the birth of our Savior is right
they owe it-as a debt of gratitude that
can never be paid-His code of laws is a
priceless legacy to the world. Let it
emulate His virtues. Let a new resolve
fill the hearts of all who share the light
he shed upon the world, to follow his
example in works of charity and love.
Remembering that He lived for all men
and all ages, let every follower of His
renew his resolution not to live for him.
self alone, but to brighten his pathway
to eternity by relieving the sufferings OF
others, by thinking charity of his neigh
bors, by kind words and christian deeds,
IL by trampling down and sitting the
low and greedy instincts of his coarser
nature.
