INFLUENCE OF NEWSPAPERS.

A school teacher who has been engag-
ed for a long time in his profession, and
witnessed the influence of newspapers on
the mind of a family of children, writes
as follows:
l have found it to be the universal
fact, without exception, that these schol-
ars of both sexes, and all ages, who have
access to the newspapers at home, when
compared with those who have not, are
l.. Better readers, excellent in pro-
nunciation, and consequently read more
understandingly.
2 They are better spoilers, and de-
fine words with ease and accuracy
3. They obtain practical knowledge
of geography and in about half the time
it requires others, as the newspapers
have made them acquainted with the To-
cation of the important places of nations,
their government and doings on the globe.
4. They are better grammarians I; for
having become so familiar with every
variety of style in the newspapers, from
the commonplace advertisement to the
finished and classical Grafton of the states
man, they more readily comprehend the
meaning of the text, and consequently
analyze its construction with accuracy.
5. They write better compositions, US
ing better language, containing more
thoughts, more clearly and more connect
edly expressed.
6. Those young men who have for
years been readers of the newspapers are
always taking the lead in debating soci-
eties, exhibiting more extensive knowl-
edge upon a greater variety of subjects,
and expressing their views with greater
fuency, clearness and correctness. En-
change.

CASH INSTEAD OF CREDIT.

If the lesson could be permanently
learned that the cash system is better
than the credit system, all the suffering
entailed by this monetary crisis would
not be dear price to pay for it.
People who buy for cash always buy
cheaper than those who buy on credit.
They buy, too, more closely, and select
more carefully.
Purchases which are paid for when
they are made are limited more exactly
to the purchasers wants. There is moth
ing like having to count the money
right out when the article is bought to
make people economical. The amount
of Indebtedness incurred is not much
considered when the payday is afar off.
Persons who do all their business on
cash basis know just where they stand
and what they can afford. Consequently
they never find after-occasion for regret
ting, in a turn of times, that they have
INDUCED in this luxury or that, which
they would have foregone had they seen
what was coming.
Real wants are few and can be graft
fed for cash. At all events, they should
always be limited to what can be paid
for in cash.
How much of anxiety, how many
sleepless hours, how many heartburn
ings, disappointments, and regrets would
be avoided if this rule were always
| strictly adhered to.

AN ONO GIANr-A Cleveland paper
relates number of anecdotes illustra-
tive of the strength and size of Abner
McIlrath. whom it dubs giant. 1t ap-
pears that McIlrath is ''sixty-one years
of age, and is six feet seven and half
inches standing in his boots, fairly pro-
portioned in form, without a pound of
waste flesh. He was and is giant in
muscular strength. He has lifted LOO
pounds of iron, and blow with his
massive fist and long arm is so powerful
that on one occasion, when some twelve
or fifteen sailors went out to his place
to .sraise muss," he thrashed the whole
lot and threw them one by one out of
the door just as one could throw so many
babies, and during that operation he
dared not double his fs5 for fear his
blows might prove fatal to some of the
rowdies. He formerly carried on the
business of a cooper, and used to come
to town with his load of barrels. On
one occasion, while stopping at the "Red
Tavern latterly known as the jackson
House." and which is now torn down, a
snob from town, who was out there with
his tournout in the shape of livery
horse and buggy, got into difficulty
with Abe, and having insulted him in
some way or another, Abe resented it
by lifting the buggy right up and strad-
ding it across the fence, and then got
on his wagon and drove off to town,
whistling as though nothing was the
matter. and leaving the luckles wight to
get his buggy off the fence as best he
could"

THOUGHTS SUGGESTED BY THE
TIMES.

A hard winter is upon US, lot on ac-
count of the vigorous weather alone, but
on account of general stagnation of
business and the suffering aud want that
will be felt in many families. The past
season has been more than ordinarily
fruitful and productive our granaries
and our store-houses are well filled, but
the wheels of business are stopped, and
the laboring man finds it difficult, if
not impossible to find the wherewithal
to buy his food, and other necessaries of
life What is the cause of thus ? Can
it not be traced to extravaganza and
reckless desire to become rich, even at
the sacrifice Of honor? Men have aped
the examples of few, who have been
reported successful in that class of bus
iness made respectable in New York,
and have been willing to stake every
thing in wild cat speculations and stock
gambling, and the majority of them
have gone down in the late crash.
While the vampires of the day have
preyed on the public by circulars, adver-
tisements and letters addressed to almost
everybody, the American, in his willing
ness to be duped, has taken the bait,
and has paid out his money for stock,
bonds and other .securities" which were
expected to be very profitable, but which
have generally proved worthless, and
he has gone down from affluence to
penury. AS an example, | cite the in
stance of a lady IN this town who a
short time since invested $4,000 by the
advice of friend in certain stock, ex-
pecting to reap great rewards. In few
days she was informed that an asses
ment had been made and she must send
more money to make the investment a
success. She sent the money, but in a
short time she became suspicious that
she had been cheated, and found out by
sending her stock into the city to be
| sold that it was worthless. Not by bad
investments in different kinds of stock,
alone, is money being lost. but by the
desire of many business men to do more
than their capital will warrant They
have run into debt to find at time like
the present, when it has been impossible
to borrow, that they could not meet their
bills, and their financial credit. if not
their means. has suffered greatly
Manufacturing establishments all over
the country have been doing too much
business, and are now obliged to suspend
work for the whole, or part of the
time. In our own village manufact-
uring company that has employed six
hundred hands is now obliged to run on
short hours and only a portion OF the
time, and many of the laborers are look
ing with much fear to the prospect Of
the winter. But while we can now see
that the greed for gain on the part OF q
large class of our people has led then
into bad investments, and has stimulated
many to do too much, we must all SEE
that extravaganza has been one of the
great causes of the present difficulty
and is now the reason why many thai
have labored for years, receiving grea
pay, are to-day poor, and liable to suffel
during the months to come. If they
had invested their surplus earnings il
homes, or in saving banks, the most o
them would have ample to carry then

Stephens, who was President of
the Southern Confederacy, boasted that
he was always in favor of salary grab.
The last speech he made in Congress, in
1859, before he left to join the rebellion,
was in favor of a salary grab, and the
first speech he now makes on his return
to-Congress is in favor of the salary
grab. But we can't see that this makes
the salary grab any more respectable.
Even if jeff. Davis could reenter Con-
gress and endorse it, we don't think
the people would like it any better. In
fact. Stephens may be considered as an
awful warning of what a salary -grabber
naturally becomes when he has chance.
