WHY DON.T YOU TAKE THE PAPERS! V
BT N. r. WILLIS. J
Why don't you tako tlio papers! S
They're "the lift of my delight}"
Except about election time, n
And then I read for spite. d
Subscribe, you cannot low a cent? g
Why should you bo afraid!
For cash thus p&id in money lent a
On interest four-fold paid. t
Qo then, and take the papers, y
And pay to-day, nor pray delays
And my word, it is inferred
You'll live till you are gray. p
An old newspaper friend of mine, J1
While dying from a cough, *
Desired to hear the latest news, c
While ho wm going off.
X took the paper, and I read 1
Of loue now pills in force:
He bought a box?and he w?(toed! >
No?-hearty m a horse.
t
I knew a printer's debtor once,
Racked with a scorching fever. *
I
Who sworo to pay her bill nest d*y j
If hi* diatrcB.3 would leave her. j
"Hare, Jessie, take these 'silver wheels,'
Oo pay the printer nowl" t
She spoke, aho slept, and then awoke (
With health upon her brow.
I knew two men as much alike 1
Aa e'er you saw two stumps,
And no phrenologist could find (
A diffprmcA in ??.?{- > ?
... vuvu WlUU]7U. |
On* took tho papers, and hia life {
la happier than a king's: <
Hit children all err read and write, t
And talk of men and thing* 1
The other took no papers, and ^
While strolling through a wood, t
A tree fell down npon hia crown, t
And killed him "werry good." ]
Bad ha been reading of the news .
a a a "
ax nome, like neighbor Jim, j
I'd bet a cent that accident ,
Would not hiTe happoued him. ,
Why don't you take the papers?
Nor from the printer ano xic.
Because yon borrow of bin boy ,
A paper ercry week. r
For he who take* the ?*??? '

And paya bis bill when duo, j
Han live in peace -with God and man.
And with tho printer too.

1?< Duk??Gentlemen, the object of <

every country in Europe since the corn 1
lawa were repealed. We have had the i
potato rot and Irish famine, since the corn ,
laws wero repealed. We have had short .
cotton crops ainoe tho corn laws wore re- ,
pealed. We have had the railway mania ,
and the panic since the corn laws were repealed.
Therefore it is clear that free ^

3d Duke?-My ncble friend having ,
proved, that freo trade is ruining the j
country, I call upon vou, gentiemen, to >

and everything against everybody and ev? i

corn laws, to protect the?a-hera?ten- {

O ood Advicc.?John II. Prentice, in
lis recent valedictory on retiring from 1
he editorial chair, which he had filled for 1
'ortv-two veara, has the following:
"No man should be without a w< M-con 1
ducted newspaper. He is far behind the 1
>pirit of the age unless be reads one, is 1
lot upon an equal footing with his follow- '
nan who enjoys such advantage, and is
lisregardful of his duty to his familv. in
^ot affording them an opportuity of acquiring
a knowledge of what is passing in
the world, at the cheapest possible teaching.
Show me a family without a newspaper,
and I venture to say that there
will be manifest in that family a want of
amenity of manners and indications of ignoranco
most strikingly in contrast with
the neighbor who allows himself such a
rational indulgence. Young men, especially,
should read newspapers. If I
were a boy, even of twelvo yeai* I would
read a newspnper weekly, though I had
to work by torchlight to earn money
enough to pay for it. The boy who reads j
well will f<-> ""J ?1

if so, be will bo almost sure to make a
man of himself, hating vicious indulgence,
which reading U calculated to beget a
distaste for."
Iff AN AWFUL BAD FIX.
Col. Noland, editor of 'he Batesvillc
[Ark.) Eagle, tells the following good
?tory of a man being in a very warm and
ight place:
The late Col. Allen Oakley was stopping
for the night at a Dublin Wi?>
washer was warm, anA Oakley, when he
retired to bed, divested himself of all his
clothes but ht3 shirt. About midnight a
terrible fuss vras raised in the yard?a
catamount had been rustled up, and the
dogs were fighting it. After having it
around and around for some time they
got to tho door, which, flying open, in
popped the catamount. You mav miens

there was getting out of their way! poor
Oakley Raw no chance to make the door,
sad sought safety by climbing up tho logs
to what should have been the loft; hut
alas! it was deficient of every thing but a
cross pole. This he straddled, with tho
expectation of hearing, ;f not witnessing
the fight going on below. But like the
gallant hero of Ccrro Gordo, he soon had
tne painful evidence that a man can be

had waked up a wasp's nest, something
more than a half bushel in size, and they
were putting it to him in style. One hand
was necessary to held on with, and the
other slapped some. To come down was
to incur the danger of a mad eat's teeth,
and to hold on was not a bed of roses 1
Yet Oaldev did hold on??nd

natter for him to ride the next day*
The New York Herald has a letter
from Rome, under date of 3d ult. which
pays:
With th? exception of Major Cass, our
Charge d'Affaires, thene is not a single
diplomatic officer at Rome the whole of
that body still remainir.* at Gaeta. I am
informed that Russian, English, German,
and other foreigners have implored Maj.
Cass to ?Ake them under his protection.

highest respectability, have resorted to
his hotel in great numbers, in hope of security.

the action of this morning, the stats
and stripes, or rather a very bad imitation
of them, were waving from paluoes Piusiana,
Falconeiri, and one or two others.
This is certainly a strange spectacle. That
