The following incident illustrate:
pretty forcibly the idea that some
people appear to have of encouraging
newspapers:
The editor and proprietor of a pa
per of one of our inland cities, had, a
few years ago, among his subscribers
quite prominent individual OF the
place who had been d constant reader
of the paper since the commencement
of its publication, but who had never
paid penny for subscription.
The collector of bills having re-
turned that against the delinquent
to his employer as one impossible to
convert into cash, the editor resolved
to give the party in question a broad
hint as to his remissness the first
time an opportunity should occur in
public.
He did not have to wait long, for
in a few DAYS, he discovered bis neg
ligent patron seated in the Office OF
the principal hotel, surrounded by
quite group of friends, and dispos-
ing of cigars and other little luxuries
sufficient to have liqui1ated at least
one years subscription.
When the laugh at the last joke
had subsided, the editor approached
the group, and, after the usual salu-
tstion to his subscriber, remarked:
Colonel, you have had my paper
now for five years, and never paid
for it, although the bill has frequently
been sent should like my pay for
it."
PAY !" calculated the colonel,
with genuine or well feigned aston
ishment- did you say pay?"
Certainly" was the reply, you
have had the paper, and l want the
pay for it."
PAY - said the colonel again :
why it can't be that you expect me
to pay anything for that paper.
Why I oaiytook the blamed hing to
encourage yoa"
The laugh from the circle Of listen
ers came in here like the bursting OF
a bomb-shell.

ATenant's Obligations

1t is an ordinary custom in leases to
have covenant that the tenant shall
keep the premises in good order and
repair As to just what this covenant
may mean, however, there is consid-
cradle difference of opinion, sometimes
the Intervention of a Judge and jury
are necessary to sttle the question. A
case of this kind has been on trial in
the Superior Court of Baltimore, in
which the judge in charging the
jury, described the legal aspect of
the matter. The word keep" he
said, implied an obligation to put
the premises in repair when received,
and to keep them so, for it would be
idle to xtipulate to keep in repair what
is not in repair, and the covenant
was therefore; equivalent to "put and
keep and deliver up, in good order
and repair. The real difficulty, how
ever, was in the words good order
and repair" These words, he said,
meant such a reasonable condition OF
things as belong to houses of their
age, class and condition, as good re-
pair for one might not be for another
1t was not necessary that an outgO-
ing tenant should repaint and repa-
per, but only keep the paint and pa
per in such condition as is consistent
with the use not allow the house to
be defaced; use it with proper and
reasonable care, and deliver it up as
it may be left after such care. The
Judge remarked that there was no
custom or rule by which an outgo-
ing tenant was obliged to repair and
repsper, unless under distinct and
well-defned agreement to that effect
On the other hand, there is no i'm
plication that the tenant shall keep
the premises as received. The Oh
legation to keep in good order and re-
pair does not mean to keep the house
in the condition in which it is receiv-
ed, but in condition that is reasona-

The ADgIo-saxon Cheer.

What a scrviceable cry and word
of-all work is provided for us by oul
| familiar h,rrah ! Probably no 9th
er tongue, ancient or modern, evel
possessed cheer so variously useful
Certainly the Greek and Roman had
no cry of wider application, and we
may surmise that the 'hOsannah, y
whence, as philogists say, huzza may
have come, as well as the Gothic word
Of hurry and agitation whence our
"hurrah" and the Swedish hurra arc
derived, were also far more limited in
employment. We discharge our cheers
in yolleys of three or volleys of nine,
or We load and fire them at will we
hurrah at an GRAFTON, procession, an
after dinner toast. an extra holiday at
school, show Of fireworks, a yatch
race, the announcement of election
returns. the ninth inning Of base
ball match, or the storming Of a re-
doubt. Compared with this the ex-
ultant cries of the modern Latin race
are very contracted in application
They must be directed at some specif-
ic person or thing-Tire el reg, Vire
Garibdldi, Tice IL President, or else
ViUe y Empire, or Tjre Z Assembled
and they are not pure expressions
of general joyous excitement. Let
US concede that our "hurrah" is rath-
er barbarous shout, well worthy of
its barbarous origin. 1t certainly ha.
not the refinement of rire, rira, riro;
and as it lacks their delicacy of sound,
so does it also lack their defniteness
of Specification. Nevertheless, the
piping sound Of cire can hardly give
the full-lunged satisfaction Of the yell
"hurrah,r and hence natives of other
countries who come to our own, take
kindly to our popular shout, and in
quire no more than we Americans do
what the word really means-The
Goldry for December.
