How IT PAYS TO TAKE A News
pAPER:-Some papers are not of
much account as to appearance,
but | never took one that did not
pay me, in some way. more than
| paid for it. One time an old
friend started little paper away
down in Southwestern Georgia
and sent it to me, and | su bscrbed
just to encourage him, and after
while it published a notice that
AZ administrator had an order TO
sell several lots at public outcry,
and one ofthe lots was in my coun
ty. So l inquired about the lot, and
wrote to my friend TO attend the
sale and run it up to fifty dollars.
He did SO, and bid me OF the lot
tor thirty dollars; and sold it, in
a month, TO man ii joined for a
hundred, and SO | made sixty
eight dollars clear by taking that
paper. My father told me shat
when he was a young man be saw
a notice in paper that school
teacher was wanted away off 10 a
distant county, and he went there
and got the situation. and a little
girl was sent to him, and after q
while she grew up mighty sweet
and pretty, and be fell in love
with her and married her-now,
if he hadn't taken that paper,
what 90 you reckon would have
become of me? Wouldn't | have
been some other fellow, or may be
not at all.-Printer's Circular.

Spite of the critical common
place, that art is independent of
ethics, and that it is possible to
achieve greatness with a bad
heart, there is something in the
soul which rebels and refuses its
homage to genius, however,
bright, when it is detestable. 81.
