Pay for Your Paper.

Ii you arc afraid to trust mo for
year, [ am afraid to trust you How
do | know that you will send me th,
paper for u year 2 Such conun
urumS mark the conservatism Of al
least one careful man. There is nc
reason why he should trust us wit =.
o dollar and 4 half; pcrh ,ps it is bcst
that he should not. There is no
rc'son why u druggist should ask
pay for the medicine he sells before
it operates, or that u railroad compa
ny should ask pay ftr IL ticket before
the ride is finished, or that carpcn
ter should ask pay for building Il
house till it is worn out and the
owner moved away.
1t costs many thousands Of dollars
to buy Il gooding printing office, and
make ready for printing newsp;t-
per Paper, ink, labor, and all
tho little accessories to q paper
cost the money in advance. We
have not the means necessary to
furnish ten Thousand persons each
with u newspaper for year, then to
employ score of men to collect
bills all over the country, unless VIC
charge at least ten dollars II vear for
the paper. 1t is better for ten
thousand men to pay each one dol
lar and Il half a year in advance,
than for us to have ten Thousand
dollars scattered all over the coun-
try, two thirds of which wo cannot
collect. A man can easily forges 10
pay what he owes for the paper. He
! can move away and never be found,
no matter how much that publisher
may be i'll need of the dollar or two
the sn 1scliber may owe 1t is not
easy for newspaper to disappear.
The editor who has the earnings and
reputation ola lifetime invested in a.
business, and who has built ND /.
newspaper to IL large circulation, is
not apt to chcata man out OF one
dollar and half, more or less, for an
uneNplred newspaper subscri ption
Another thing. We should never
take u paper edited by u m.n we
could not trust with the price of the
paper. II you have no more conf
donce in us. and our business honesty
than to be afraid to trust us, keep
your money. We cannot afford to
give credit to everybody, and it
would DC unfair to discriminate. Fora
number OF years we have been print
ing newspaper, ana mover yet have
talleu to send the paper each week
to the persons VINO have paid for it,
1t is not likely that we shall com.
menco being dishonest now. We
cannot, without making IL great
change in our IN amer Of conducting
business, give Il dlibbling credit al,
over the county. We arc not afraid
to trust our correspondent with ~
dollar and y half, bat prefer to have
him read his own paper than one he
has not paid for. IIe buys pound
Of ten, and partakcs thereof day
after d.y till it is uscl up. Uo
purchases IL pair of boots, and for II
year has the wearing Of them. He
pays the minister five dollars for
performing tho marriage ceremony
that unites him to his wife, by.t
according to his own rule. he should
not pay the marriage fec till his wife
expires, So he could have the use Of
both his wife aud his money. Will tho
man sell us IL barrel of pork and wait
for his puy till the last piece is
cooked and eaten ? If so, we can
tell him where he can find lust such
customers for all tho pork ho can
raise. c.-E'rchamye.
DEFECTS IN IoRsEs.-It is rec ON
mcndci that in purchasing q horse
it shonld be bone in mind chat there
is direct relation between the
horses forehead and his disposition
and gu llities. The face must be
very broad between the eyes, but it
should taper little as it approaches
tho cars. If the breadth is carried
all the way upwards, the top of the
head will bo too wide. the ears ill
set, and tho horse probably sulhy.
AS is the human being, SO in the
horse, great deal Of the expression
of the countonanco depends on tho
eye. 1t is q most marvellous indox
to the working of the mind within.
A glance at it will often reveal tho
benevolent feeling, the sulSy dispo~
sition, or the vicious propensity that
is about to manifest itself. The
reason of all this must be most obvi-
GUS, whom we remember that it is in
direct communication with the brain
the material instrument through
| which tho mind operates. The eye
of the horse should be kindly,
strong, bold and fiery, yet gentle
looking. 1t should not show much
white, as that often indicates O vi.
cious disposition. A horse that is
looking back SO far as to expose the
white of his eye, is generally on the
abort for mischief, and is not to be
trusted with his heels. The eye gives
q strong indication both of temper
and temperament of the animal
and it is easy to Judge from itwheth-
or activity or sluggishness prevails
most.
