informed J. g. T. sranahan President of the Park Com
mission of The deficiency and stated that 1t would be
impossible for him to un his contract at the price, The

PAPERS BEPonE BOOKS.


Papers before books is the rule, now
adays, with most readers. The time
for reading is so brief and uncertain,
the character of the book so remote
from the ever varying activities of the
hour, that the eye searches for the pic
ture of passing events, or the light,
spicy article OF the living periodical
rather than the solid matter Of the book.
Go into any family and You will see
that from the old grandmother who
still reads with her spectacless, to the
little boy or girl that can spell out the
words in easy reading, it is the paper OF
magazine that is first wanted and first
read. Look in the cars, the parlor, OIL
any other place, and you will discover
the same fact--the paper or periodical
first, the book next. What, then,
should the press do but supply this
great and growing want what should
the friends of the young and old do but
encourage such papers and periodicals
as are lifted to promote right principles
aud virtuous and useful practices ?
