Sour Little Paper.

This is a term very commonly ap.
piled, by persons living in country
places, to their local press, and the
Mobile Register (itself 4 large and
ably conducted Journal) objects to it
rs 4 kind Of treason in a man to thus
run down or disparage his own institu.
tons. The Register, in Il commend
able spirit, in striking contrast with
the avaricious blindness of the Nash
vile daiIics in their late treatment Of
the Tennessee conntry-press, contin-
ues its article as follows:
"Supposc your home paper is a little
paper, who IS to blame for il? Not the
publisher, we are sure for there never
yet was a country publisher who did
not cherish an ambition to Get his pa.
per as large as possible, in every re
spect. Somebody must he to blame,
and as there are but two parties inter
ested in q newspaper-thc publisher
and the patrons-and as the publisher
is not to blame, it is certainly no very
difficult matter to settle the case. Give
your publisher the patronage requisite
to the making of u big paper, and our
word for it, you will not long have an
eXGuse for talking about our little pa.

city publications, and nothing else will

city, and your little paper will be
found Keeping pace With it all the time.
But don't undertake to build it up Ivy
advertising your institutions as being
inferior to those orany other place
that will be too much on the principle
OF setting vinegar to catch ll!es, to sue

inferior, help to make them better,
maintaining the while, toward the pub
lie, a digDiiicd silence rs to their de
fects, in order not to discourage those

Many may regard this as Il strange
position for the Register to take for,

ally understood that there exists Il
spirit Of competition between the city
ana the local press. 1t is all a mistake.
We want every man to take his local
paper, and thus contribute his mite to
ward advancing the interests of his
section. A live local paper is one of.
the most powerful engines that can be
attached to the car of progress, and a
liberal patronage never fails TO make a
live loca! paper. Why we want every
man to take his local paper, in because
we desiie to see the whole country
prosper ; and then, we need not deny
it, there is Il selfish motive associated
with M patriotism. The more a peo.
pie read the more they want to read,
hence the more local papers they take
for the home news, the more Registers
we shall be able to circulate among
them, for a pretty even balance is
kept up between home and

A BEAUTIFUL SIMILE.-While Fathe

A BEAUTIFUL SIMILE.-While Father
Ryan was speaking not long since il
Mobile, before the guests Of the La
dies Memorial Association, he made
use Of the following words. In point
ing to a heavy bank Of clouds just
rising in the west, and obscuring the
setting sun, among which a vivid
lightning was necessarily playing, he
said:
'As yon sun goes down behind a
dark cloud, so went down the hopes of
those engaged in the unequal struggle
for Southern liberty as you now see
the lightning flashing and blazing
athwart the cloud, so leaped the bolts
of hate and persecution. But behind
that cloud the stars are still shining,
just as the star of hope is still lighting
up the hearts Of our people; and as
the sun will rise again on the morrow,
10 shall eventually rise up in all its
splendor the down-trodden and par

The Orangemen are going to parade
in New York on the 18th inst, to cele
brate the battle of the Boyne away
yondcr in the days, we believe, ofKing
William, or somebody else. OF course
the Irish will be insulted by this parade,
and the New York papers are fearing
a repetition of the terrible scenes OF
last 18th Of July, Now, it seems to
us, albeit the people Of New York
ought TO know their business better
than the Home Journal-but it seems
to us the experience of July 1871,
ought not to be lost. The parade OF
civic societies, whether American,
British, Irish, German. or others, with
arms, ought to be forbidden by law,
if not the parades themselves. They
only serve to revive and keep alive
old time battles and animositics, and,
besides, as adopted citizens the Orange
men and st. Patrick men should re.
member that an ocean rolls between
the Kingdoms of the old world and the
republic Of the new, and their fcuds
are an insult to us. The New York
Times regrets the official permission
given for the parade, and says:
That the Orange parade involves
that on st. Patrick's Day hereafter
and we hoped that under the new law
and with the power given to the police,
and in consideration of the strong
public feeling upon this matter, we
might be rid of both these nuisancos.
and all of their kind, hereafter.

A large number of the clergy left
New York, tie other day, for Europe,
to spend their holidays, and some OBJ
jections have been made by persons
who belong, like the Home Journal,
to the cant-get-away class. These
malcontents seem to think that Gods
chosen ones ought to fill their pulpits,
ii summer as well as winter, to give
spiritual aliment to those who foot the
bills of their expenses. We beg leave
to enter an objection to this selfish
argument. Preachers wear out as
well rs others, and ten to one ifthey
should remain at home they would
have to preach the same old dry ser
mons to half attentive hearers, who 90

the preachers go abroad and learn
something of the world, breathe fresh
air, behold new scenes, and they car

DoN'T Do Ir, BoYs.-rhe story Is
told Of an old farmer who loved mis-
chief, and did not love neighboring
deacon. With u gang Of roguish boys
in the neighborhood he was on most
friendly terms, though he took good
care never to encourage them In their
youthful pranks. But he thoroughly
understood them, and they knew him.
One evening he met them just starting
out on lark, and addressing them In
stern tones, he said: Boys, | tell
you not to put the deacon's wagon on
the roof Of his barn Tonight" And
then, a. II an afterthouSht, Just as
they were moving Off In the direction
OF the deacon's residence, he cried out:
" Be good boys, and here's n quarter
for YOU" The next morning the dea-
con had to call upon his nelgh6ors to
assist in getting his wagon to terra
arp.a, but no one could say the farmer
advised the mischief the boys had
done.

to encourage poor people to put BY a

on deposit small sums Of money from
poor persons. the aggregate Of which

And now we want for President

"But, then, papa, was not old Jef.

Then. pa, II should steal horse,
I'd steal Q hundred more,
would be great and get bailed out,
Like Davis did before.
"oh, no, my child, the Gospel says
That you should always do
To every person as You would
That they should do to you."
"Eut, pa, did Horace Greeley think
That In some future day,
He'd want bail when ho shoud try
His country to betray!"
The Senator could say no moro
SO, turning quickly, said:
