Cash in Advance system.

After due consideration, and CAREFUL
ly weighing the advantages and disad-
vantages of the matter, we have con-
cluded to adopt the strictly cash system
as regards subscriptions to the RKPUB-
L1cAN on and after the lst of July next.
1t is absolutely necessary, in order to
run a newspaper as it should be run
that the publisher have his money in
advance, so that he may be able to meet
the many daily expenses that occur.
There are always large number of
subscribers who will take the paper as
long as the publisher sends it to him
without asking him for any pay, but as
soon as he asks for it, will tell him to
stop the paper, and never pay for what
he has already got. 1t is to avoid all
such and other losses incident to the cred
it system, that we propose to adopt the
cash system. 1t will not affect any one
who is willing to pay for his paper, as it
is just as easy to pay in advance as at
the end Of the year. Publishers who
have tried this system, declare they
would not, under any consideration, go
back to the old method. Every one
knows that if he wishes to subscribe for
one Of the foreign weeklies, he must
send his money in advance. He does this
cheerfully, and thinks nothing of it
The same spirit should exist in regard
to his home papers. We shall speak of
of this matter again, and in the mean
time we would urge those who are back
with their subscriptions to send in the
amount without delay, as We are very
needy for money.

Wasted Hours.

Oh, how many of these upon the rec
ord of our past! How many hours
wasted, worse than wasted, in frivol-
GUS conversation, useless employment; !;
hours Of which we can give no account,
and in which we benefited neither our
selves or others. There are such hours
in the busiest lives, but they make up
the whole sum OF the lives of many.
Many live without accomplishing any
good; squander away their time in
petty, trifiing things, as if the only OBJ
ject in life were to kill time, as if earth
were not place for probation, but our
abiding residence. We do not value
time as we should, but let many golden
hours pass by unimproved. We loiter
during the day time of life, and ere We
know it, the night draws near "when
no man can work. Oh, hours misspent
and wasted! How we wish that we
could live them over again. God will
require from us an account of the man
ner in which we spent our years, and
he will judge us so differently from our
own judgment. The years that we spent
in promoting our selfish motives, ignor-
ing our SOULS salvation, these all in his
sight will be wasted. Let us be pru-
dent then in the employment of our
time that when the Great Judgeinvesti-
gates the works of each one, he will not
say that we have lived wholly in vain.

What to do in Case of Accident.

Prof. Wilder, of Cornell University,
gives the following short rules for ac-
ton in cases of accident, which it will
be found useful to preserve or remem-
ber: SAKE z
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing
dash water into them; remove cinders.
ETC., with the round point of lead
pencil.
Remove water from the ear by tepid
water; never put "a hard instrument
into the ear. ,
If any artery is cut, compress above
the wound; if vein is cut, compress
below.
If choked, get upon all fours and
cough. -
For slight burns, dip the part in cold
water; if the skin is destroyed, cover
with varnish. fH71
Smother fire with carpets, &c. ; wa
ter will often spread burning oil, and
increase danger. Before pushing
through smoke,-take a fun breath and
then stoop low but if 'carbonic gas is
suspected, walk erect.
Suck poisoned, wounds, unless your
mouth is sore; enlarge the, wound, OF
better, cut out the part without delay
hold the wounded part as long as can
be borne to hot coal or a cigar.
In case of poisoning, excite vomiting
by tickling the throat or by warm wa
ter and mustard.
For acid poisons, give alkalis; for al
kaline poisons give acids; white of an
egg is good in most cases; in case OF
opium poisoning give strong coffee and
keep moving.
If in water, float on the back, with
the nose and mouth projecting.
For apoplexy, raise the head and body
For fainting, lay the person fiat.
