That sheet so blank be- fore is a living paper now. A change has passed over it as marvellous as if in an instant the unwritten face of the boy should put on the furrows of age, the lines of care, the impress of man~ hoods» experience, thought and toil.

One would think it should be dearly bought and highly prized, and yet it is the cheapest thing in the world. Two or three cents will buy it. One or .two dollars will bring it to your home every week in the year. And yet there'sre men too poor to take a newspaper!
