that answeleth the rap sneereth

Never do thou loaf about, nor
knock down type, or the boys
will love thee as they do the
shade trees-when thou leavest.
Thou shouldst aeoer read Tie
copy on the printers case or the
sharp and hooked container
thereof, on he may knock thee
down.
Never inquire of The editor fer
news, for behold it is his bust
ness to give it to thee at the ap-
pointed time without asking forit.
Ii is not right that thou
shouldst ask him who is the au-
thor of an article, for it is his
duty to keep such things to HIM
self.
When thou dost enter his of
fee, take heed unto thyself that
thou dost not look at what con-
Germs thee not, for that is not
meet in the sight OF good breed
ing.
Neither examine thou the
proof-sheet, for it is not ready
to meet thine eye that thou
mayst understand.
Thou shouldst not delude thy
self with the thought that thou
hast saved a few cents when
thou hast secured a dead-head
copy of his paper, for whilst the
printer may smile aud say it's
all right, he'll never forget thy
meanness.

CHARLES DUPATy. EDlroe.
Newspaper Patronage.
Printers circular.1


There appears to be many
different ways of understanding
the true meaning of newspaper
patronage, as it is called, and,
as an interested party, we give
place to a disquisition on the
su' ieei by one who knows
whereof he speaks. It will serve,
perhaps, as mirror where Ger
tain persons may see themselves
as others see them.
One. man comes in and sub
scribes for a paper and pays for
it in advance, and goes home
and reads il with the proud sat
isfaction that it is his. He hands
in his advertisement, asks the
price, pays for it, and goes to
his place of business and real S
the advantage thereof. Another
man says you may put my name
on your books, and goes off
without saying a word about
pay. Time passes on, and You
want money, and want him 10
pay you what is honestly due
you. He flies into a passion,
perhaps pays, perhaps not, and
orders his paper stopped. This
Is called newspaper patronage.
Another man brings in a fifty
cent advertisement and wants a
two-dollar notice given il, and if
you refuse be goes off mad. And
This IS newspaper patronage.
Another man leaves near you
he does not take the paper
he don't like the editor-the
paper is too small for him-yet
be goes regularly to his neigh
Dor and borfoWs it, and quarrels
with .he opinions of the editor.
Occasionally he sees an article
ne likes; be begs, or gives half a
dime for the number. This is
called newspaper patronage.
Another mar takes the paper
and takes q copy for bis family,
and pays for it, and does all he
can to get new subscribers; he
never grumbles, bul always has
a cheerful word fol the editor. IfI
any little item of interest occurs
in the neighborhood, he infol msI
the editor. This is newspaper
patronage.
Another man has q patent and
wants you TO give it a two-dollar
notice every week ]; it will be of
interest to your readers, be says;
out although knowing it will
benefit him most of all, he does
lot offer to pay for it. This isl,
,alled newspaper patronage.
Another man has taken the
oaper for several years, but has
lot paid for it, aud comes in
With four or fye-dollar adver-
isement and ask you to insert it
or nothing, because he is an old /
patron of yours. This is called
patronage.
Another man-s'a young n AL
