Tltey jiin n xutiuy IIIIU OIlllHJKIlSalHe ClSSS Of men, and Wf lin<l no town or villn^ft* flourishing without their nid. Indeed their presence or alienee is nlways a trua index ol' the condition of a place?whether it is advancing in wealth nod importance, or sinking into decay. Whenever we pass through ii village and hear the frequent sound of the carpenter's hammer, the clink of the blacksmith's iinvrl ?that village, we any to ourselves, is flourishing. It can- 1 not be otherwise, for the producers are actively employed, and outnumber the consumers. Whenever and wherever this is the esse, the peoplo are growing wealthy, and at the same time training up the rising generation to hahits of industry and mo ality. Where, if a city or village pursue the opposite of this course?neglects its mechanics and supports those of some ^ foreign town? those who can will be compelled to goto some other place, and those who nru compel ed by the force of circumstances to remain, will become idle and piofligsto?they will cease to produce and Ic consumers?in a few years they become beggars. and their children ignorant and jj? vhToua. If there is any truth in the assertion, that we ought as n nation *,o give the preference to domestic man ah Clares, the fact is equally true with regard to the community ; Doth i arc sustained by the same arguments.

Most persons think that of all debts, a pub* hcr'a neeil not be paid until all others are catilled. Now we would like to know if the pubher of a newspaper does not d'serve his pay well as nnv one else Let us consider this utter a little. In the first place, the publisher is his matciials to buy?his press, type, paper j. 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. Most of pi inters are dependent on their rnings for their support, and employers are mpt-lled to pay theiu punctually. Now bow n they be paid, if subscribers do not pay the Wishers? We recall to mind a little circtim- | nice. Dunne the time of court, a iitH?cril?e^ i our paper, and one wo liarc a high opinion , handed ua a two dollar bill on a Xoithcrn nk, inquiring if we would take that, observing the time, that he had held that bill for some i month*.
