The value Of Newgpapers.

The value of newspapers, though becoming
more and more SO, is not yet appreciated as il
should be; but, as an exchange aptly says, the
fapidity with which some people are waking
up to their necessity and usefulness is one Of
the significant signs of the tifnes. Few fami>
lies are now content with one newspaper In
their home, The thirst for knowledge is not
easily satisfied, and books, although useful.
yea; absolutely necessary, in their place, fail
to meet the demands of youth or age. Our
country newspapers are eagerly sought, and
their contents are eagerly devoured then
comes the demand for the city nows, national
and foreign news. Next to the political,
comes the scientific and literary journsls.-
Lastly and above all, comes the moral and
religious journals. All these are demanded
to satisfy the cravings of the active mind
Newspapers are also valuable to material
prosperity. They advertise the village, cOun--
try or locality. They spread before the rea>
der map on which may be traced character,
design and progress. IF a stranger calls at a
hotel he first enquiries for the village newspa.
per; if friend comes from a distance the
enquiries for our village OF county paper, and
you feel discomftted if you are unable to find
late copy, and cOnfouDded if you are COM
PEELED to say you do not take it.
Newspapers are just as necessary to Be a
man for his true position in life as food or
raiment. Show us ragged barefooted boy
rather than an ignorant one. his head will
cover his feet in after life if he is supplied
with neNspapefs. He will make his mark in
the world, If you crafty that desire for knoWl.
edge. Other things being equal, 1t is rule
that never fails. Give your children DeWspa-
