Most persons think that of all debts, a pubhcr's need not be paid until all others arc canlied. Now we would like to know if the pubher of a newspaper does not d'serve his pay well as any one else Let us consider this itter a little. In the first place, the publisher s his msteiials to buy?his press, type, pape: For these he pays the cash. Then bis inters must be paid, house-rent paid Ac. In other business is the cash more needed than this. Mostof pi inters are depeudent on their i nings for their support, and employera are inpdled to pay them punctually. Now how a they be paid, if subscribers do not pay the Wishers? We recall to mlnd a little rfrcomince. During the time of court, a subscriber our paper, and one we have a high opinion handed us a two dollar bill on a Noithcrn uk, inquiring if we would take that, observing the time, that he had held that bill (or some I months. We took the bill?where is the itor that will not take money f Yet, we could t butsmile to think, that oui friend had kept that 1 for so long a time, and we believe had never erad to pay another debt with it, and at t pa**ed it for bis paper.

I re ' pent in view of these causes, the tendency '? is to make breadstuff's scarce nnd high, oven in our own country, and when to these causes is added the prospect of n protrae ted European war, the inevitable tendency and result is to cause breads!uffs to nd. vanee and continue at high prices, until the causes ccsse, or the producing country is stimulated to n yield and upply equal to 1 r the demand. Now every farm* r, can, ho j far as he is concerned, contribute to cheek 0 j. the high prices of flour, by sowing a sulTi- | y ! cient qu.u tlty of wheat for the coiswmp- > tion of his own family, and ill?* Is what everv farmer should do. and then if prices ii ' 'i still continue to rule high, he can reap the ( hem lit of the igli price, by adding a few I 1 more acres, after enough for family pur- 1 poses, for the market. The b? st criterion j of a good farmer, is lluit lie mnkes his own j bacon, corn and flour, and a still better eri- i r terion is, that lie makes enough for home 1 j use, nnd a little to -p.ro, such n farmer,if j posterity should fail to bless Isiin. will be | gratefully appreciated by the nou produ- i p cers of his day.
