| ATTACHMENT TO NEWSPAPERS.-The very
strong attachment of subscribers to we'll
conducted newspaper is fully confirmed by
publishers. s'Stop my paper - words of dread
| to beginners in business lose their terror after
paper has been established for a term Of
years. So long as paper pursues Just, hon
Orable and judicious course, meeting the wants
of it's customers in all respects, the ties of
friendship between the subscribers and the pa
per are as hard to break by all outside third
party as the link which binds old friends in
business or social life. Occasional defects and
errors in a newspaper are overlooked by those
who have become attached to it through it's
perusal for years. They sometimes become
dissatisfied with it on account of something
which has slipped into it's columns, and may
stop taking it but the absence of the familiar
sheet at their homes and Offices for a few weeks
becomes an insupportable privation, and they
hasten to take it again and possibly apologize
for having it stopped. No friendship on earth
is more constant than that contracted by the
reader of journal which makes an honest
and earnest effort to merit it's continued sup
port. Hence, conscientiously conducted pa
per becomes favorite in the family.
MISTAKES OF LIFE.-Somebody has con-
densed the mistakes of life and arrived at the
Most people would say if they told the truth,
that there was no limit to the mistakes of
life !: that they were like the drops in the
ocean or the sands of the shore in number,
but it is we'll to be accurate. Here, then, are
fourteen great mistakes: ''It is a great mis-
take to set up our own standard of right and
wrong and judge people accordingly to meas
ure the enjoyment of others by our own; to
expect uniformity of opinion in this world
to look for judgment and experience in youth;
to endeavor to mould all dispositions alike;
not to yield to immaterial trihes to look for
perfection in our own actions; to worry our
selves and others with what cannot be RENE
died not to alleviate all that needs allevia-
tion as far as lies in our power net to make
allowance for the infrmities of others to con-
slider everything impossible that we cannot
perform; to believe only what our finite minds
can grasp to expect to be able to understand
everything" The greatest of mistakes is to
live only for time, when one moment may
launch us into eternity.
HISTORY OF THE SMALLPOX.-SmallpoX
arose in the very darkest period of medieval
times. 1t first invaded England in the ninth
century; it was common in Arabia in the
tenth ; the crusaders carried it through all
southern Europe; it reached Norway in the
fourteenth century lin 1917 it was carried toSt.
Domingo by the Spaniards along with slavery,
the inqusition, the rack, and host Of other
blessings; three years later it crossed to Mexi-
co and slew three millions; it invaded Iceland
in 1907, and Greenland 1873, Staying fourth
part of the residents the former, and large
proportion of those in the latter country !; and
despite all that medical skill has done and is
doing to cast it from the earthit bids fair to
retain its hold, in some measure as long as
popular ignorance, destitution, negligence and
carelessness, continue to combat the physi-
clans and the dictates of common sense.
