THE pNuEEs.InN. Men.ic;Ncl.

we pick out such 'c:ipplcd'' PAPERS, as
would be returned with Instructions to
discontinue, if sent to subscriber, and
, send them to each other To lis al least
it is an unaloyel pleasure f. read the et.
changes as they come IN, but THIS pleasure
has its alloy. Blurred. bloltrl, torn mis-
=, prints are thrown aside for The "printcrs"
and in many instances really interesting
articles are rendered ilegiblc Ivy some woe
fnl act Of the pressman. Some of ar cA,
changes come to rs as pretty as 4 picture,
while others ore mere blochcs, the latter
bearing evidence occasionally, that such
miSprn,s are exceptions. We TO this
same trick ourselves, but really think, tia,
inasmuch asj we depend 50 much, the one
upon another for our news, That we should
treat each other better and send the best in
the shop. Who seconds the melon?
