A Word With Subscribers.

We frequently have subscribers tell
US TO call on them when we want any
money, or to let them know when their
subscription becomes due. To the first
we have to reply that the editor, like
other mortals. wants money at all
times. If his own necessities do not
require it perhaps those of some credi-
tor do; and in the second place the sub
scription is due from the time 1t COM
mences. If a person wants the paper
three months let him pay for that time,
if he wants it six months. the. same,
and if he desires to take it Il year the
same rule applies. To more strictly
enforce this plan is one reason why the
subscription price was reduced. The
pay as you 20 principle is better for all
concerned. There is no risk to run
because this paper is not likely to sus-
pend and leave any one in the lurch.
Look at the date on your address label
and remember if you have not already
paid. that yonr subscription is due noW
and the amount will be received at any
time it is convenient for you to yay it.

"Pale through the azure expanse of the

Like intangible snow its breath of silvery

Softly fell through the fields of the air.
An elegant repast came in as an in

Jordan's Band furnished music for
the twinkling of merry feet.
And beautiful maidens moved down in
the dance,
With the magic of motion and sunshine of
glance;
And white arms wreathed lightly and
treSSeS fell free
AS the pIumage of birds in some tropical
tree"
