OUR SENTIMENTS.

The following is clipped from an
exchange and expresses our senti-
ments: "a newspaper takened in a
family seems to shed a CLEAN of in
telligence all around. 1t gives the
children a taste forreading; it COM
municates all the important events
Of the world; it is a never failing
source of amusement, and furnish
a fund Of instructions which will
never be exhausted. Every family,
however poor, if they wish to hold a
place in the ranks intelligent be-
ings takes at least one newspaper.
The man who is possessed of prop
erty sufficient to make his life easy,
surrounded by children eager for
knowledge, instigated by the voice
ofcupidity and neglects to subscribe
for a home newspaper is deficient in
the duty of a parent and a good citi-
zen, and is deserving of the censure
of his neighborhood. The news
paper has done more to refine, ele-
waite and educate the human race
than any other institution, with the
exception of the church"

laneum and distribute the small

Bob Ingersoll into the hell-box and
