Family Newspapers.

The value of family newspapers is
by no means appreciated; but the ra-
pidity with which people are waking
up to their necessity and usefulness
is one of the significant signs of the
times. Few families are now CON
tent with one newspaper. The thirst
for knowledge is not so easily salts
fled; and books, though useful, yea,
absolutely necessary in their place,
fail to meet the demand of youth or
age. Our family newspaper is eager
ly sought, and its contents devoured :
then comes the demand for national
or foreign news. Next to the politi-
cal come the literary and scientific
journals. All these are demanded to
satisfy the cravings of the active
mind. Family newspapers are valu-
able to material prosperity. They
spread before the reader map on
which may be traced character, de-
sign and progress. If a stranger
calls at hotel, he first inquiries for
the newspaper; if a friend comes
from distance, the next thing after
the family greeting he inquiries for
your newspaper; and you feel dis
comforted if you cannot find late
copy, and COMPOUNDED if you are COM
PEELED to say you do not take it,
Family newspapers are just as nee
essary to fit a family for its true po-
sition in life as FOOD and raiment.
Show us o ragged, bare.footed boy,
rather than an ignorant one. His
head will cover his feet in after life,
if he is well supplied with newspa-
pers: Other things being equal it is
a rule that never fails.
