tisements, supposlng that the editor in
serts them only for bis own benefit. and
that Of the parties advertising This is
mistake. No family newspaper should
be regarded as complete, without several
columns devoted to the advertisement of
such commodities as are in daily use by
our common civilization. A fair pro-
portion of space, filed with well assort-
ed advertisements, is as indispensable to
the interests of a family, as an equal
space filled with other matter. And
this the MONITOR furnishes
Respecting locals-sA mans house is /
his CASTLE" was an old maxim of the
law, and should be kept inviolate. The
sanctuary of home should be neither
rudely interviewed nor sindiscriminately
reported upon. Nor should the charac-
ter or feelings of any be needlessly in
jured But there is a broad and fruit
full field for the editor outside these sa-
cred enclosures, and we like to see it
we'll improved.
We are glad to know that Rev. Mr..
Faithful has been provoking the people
of his charge to good works, and that
the gospel in his town is finding express
sion in q well furnished parsonage, in a
newly repaired meeting house, or is
walking the streets in the form of re-
generated men. This is refreshing and
many Of Mr.. Faithful's toiling brethren
in neighboring parishes will take cour-
age.
We are glad to know that Miss Mary
Worth taught her first school last season
| in district number nine; that it was a
success, and that Johnny Constant took
the highest reward for regular attend
ance and good conduct. Here are two
good examples, and aspiring young
teachers, and school boys Whc read it
will be favorably influenced.
Nor do we ignore the announcement
that Mr.. Human has just completed a
large and commodious pig pen, with sew.
eral apartments on the ground floor
and a chamber for straw to be used as
litter. This item increases our respect
for humanity. Then, too, how the pigs
will grunt their deep satisfaction. al
, they appropriate their comfortable
, apartments And as pigs receive al
their good things in one, brief, and I'M
eventful life, how important that it b,
made comfortable How refreshing
that Mr.. Human has struck out in thi
, direction, and set his neighbors goot
example!
So if there are transfers of real es
tate or stock, or If there are remarkabl
occurrences either of joyous or of
grevious nature, in neighboring towns o
us, we want to know the facts. Thes
items are part of real life around us
and when faithfully chronicled in mod
est, racy style, they serve higher pur
l pose than the mere qualification of curl
osity. Every occurrence Of life has it
e moral, which may teach us to evade mis-
: fortunes ON the one hand, and secur
advantages on the other. Such list {
items is presented to the public in eac
r copy of the MONITOR.
a The MONITOR also gives fair expos
e of state news. the proceedings of our n;
n tional government, and birds-eye vie

e graphs seem to be wisely chosen, an
have reference to two objects; the el
livening of the mind, and the pointir
= of good morals; and to certain exten
! the former is as essential as the latte
!, The mind as much needs an occasion
stirring up for health, as does feath
bed. A hearty laugh over an innoce
joke, is good tonic for both body al
soul.

strong and fearless blows against vi
and immortality, in whatever form th
~ may oppose themselves to the purity a
w. general welfare of the public. The ,
rious agencies of moral reform, whetl
re- organized or single-handed, receive S
'rt sonable and fitting words of cheer, a
ast unequivocal support. Its religious
partment is the special advocate of
denominational party, but its sentime

nurture in all, deep. broad and gen
