In short, all . who aim at keeping abreast of the times ’ are sure to patronize some newspaper, ) or perhaps more than one, and pay for [ them, too. Those persons to whom we 3 referâ€"namely those who do‘not‘take a paperâ€"are sometimes found excusing iiive themselves fer the negleet'in some such ‘ wei ‘ways as the following :â€"--They “can’t poet afford to pay for them ;” they “have not . solt i timeto read them ;” “it is of no useâ€" imp they can do without them ;” and sundry Ho other excuses hardly worth mentioning, fre especially “there are none of the papers the published around here any good.” It may seem self-intereSt on our part to say oni , that those who use these excuses are cet . standing in their own light, yet it is no- em 1 thing but truth. We will not enter an into a detail of the benefits to be derived ni* _ from the regular perusal of a newspaper; bl: but, for the sake of the class referred to, da we will mentiOn a few, that they may fr: form some idea of what they lose by sa their neglect. First, in their being obliged to gather what little news. they fr ever hear at second handsâ€"Often errone- u, ously--and at a great loss of timeâ€":- E Second, they fail to obtain anything like w an accurate account of the state of the n cr0ps and markets, and hence often buy a or sell at a heavy loss. Third, they lose n {the opportunity of acquiring much use- ,- of ful information in the arts, sciences and i‘ in ‘ politics; they miss what would give t. :r- ‘ them amusement in leisure hours, and, I . which is as bad, seldom know what store to go to get even articles 0f common use. They thus, in the name of econ-l 0 i my, squander their time and money,i t i 8 e e IS )8 n U ft "ii 4 4 e l t l 0‘. a: if) i and, what is perhaps worse, they go to “yithe polls on election daysâ€" when the :rs, best interests of the locality they re- n‘al .side in, or, it may be, those of their out country are at stakeâ€"not half qualified and to discharge the duties they owe it. But "mi there is another matter which they ought. 106- i to look at. Supposing they have families, tny- i who are at school, the newspaper is al- ‘ love ways an object of interest, often of ray. amusement to them, and in this way mos l serves to stimulate their mental energies, less. 1 and powerfully assists the teacher in l further education.

Altogether, we may add that a properly conducted news- paper is a real boon to all classes, and those persons act; the part of wisdom who liberally patronize it.â€"Jndepem.7mt.

A naked foot stepping on one of the un- buried fangs, would be fatally wounded. | The poison would spread, in a very lshort time, all through the system.â€" The ‘venom lasts a long time, and is as deadly after the snake is dead as it. was 'before. 'Our cruel Indians used to dip the points of their arrows in this poi- son,â€"â€"so if they made the least. wound their victims would be sure to die. The nake’ s poison is in his teeth; but there is something quite as dangerous an(L much more common in communities which has its poison in the tongue.
