An exchange remarks: Persons
who patronizo papers should pay
promptly, forthc pecuniary prospects
of the press have a peculiar power in
pushing forward public prosperity.
If the printer is paid promptly, and
his pocket.book kept plethoric by
prompt paying patrons, he puts his
pen to paper in peace; he paints his
pictures of passing events in more
pleasant colors, and the persual fhis
paper is of more pleasusc to his pco-
pie. Paste this piece of proverbial
philosophy in some place where all
persons can pcrsuoit. Be pleased al
so to ponder upon it myself patient
ly and prcscrvingly and proiitably,
and persistcntly practice its preccpts
perpetually,
