represented Stark and Wayne in Con-

DAILIEs.-More than weeklies involve

towns few dailies pay. Many an enter
prisiDg fellow has sunk his little or con-
siderable all, and discovered his foolish
venture when too late. We learn the
present ad. Vance editor of the Repository
had some experience Of the kind not
long since in Piqua in this State. OF
course he stuck to the daily experiment
as long as he well could.
'Tis pleasant sure to have daily run,
And issue forth with every rising SUM-
But If 1t comes out in the afternoon,
Like to the sun, it may decline full soon,
Ambitious fellows though will stick right to it.,
AT least as long as ever they can do it
Vaulting ambition oft oerleaps ITSELF
As aVarice often when intent on pelf.
Our ad Vance man has tried the same before,
And kept it running till he could no more
