All very fine, tins thing** of a local paper. Hut do vou ever iluuk that it is a little like the air you breathe?not apprccia i prcciated unless you happen to bo sud : dctihjf deprived of it~*~arid forthat reason no thought is taken as to bow the sup ? ply is kopiMip. It costs money to print a paper, as well as to tlu any th'iig else, j type and presses, and piper and ink. and workmen, etc., ail have lu no paid fur, and Bomebodj h ^.it i>- do it. l>o you take the paper and pay for it prompt. ly ? 'No. 1?well, yuu Fee neighbor, done? take? it. und 1 can borrow from him " Jusi so ! sponge your way. U.I all the | put pie iu thu World, these human sponges are the most contemptible. Hut perhaps the answer is, "1 take the Cincinnati paper, and a religious und ? woll, really, you ktiow I take so many p?perS. Be^idei, I get so much more reading in the < tuciunuti paper. Yes?but do you ever lluuk that the size ol the town and its vioiuity', have in.I- h lo do with the size and value of im paper? My dear sir 1 no one tiling a i cripples aud discourages the local pa per, as these people who are so misera bly poor that they can't pay ?2.00 a jcar tor tho local paper, whil? they take two or three foreign papers?that hate Oo interest in c< uunon with ihein, in which they dun i sic tho name of their town priuted once iu live, years, and iu which i'" they did the fact would not bo an nounced without first being paid for it. Some people have fine homes, or stores, or Terms, but tboy fro too poor to pay 63 or $10 a year to invite tho people to buy of them. The paper is * good thing. Yea, it is expected the editor wilt sing the praises of their town long and loud, aod tcrj out to all people to come there and buy, and sell and make fat the pock ets of the business men thereof. But who buys tho materials for the printing office, the bread and meat, and shoes aud stockings, eto , fur printer's wife and ba bies, while }{c is thus spending bis time and energy in aid of the common good. . Let us tell you a word. Some busi ness men advertise liberally, and pay for it.?That man there takes aod pays for the paper, and his better off neighbor borrows aud reads it before it is cold from the carrier's hand, or the man who pays for it has- read a line. This is repeated in all .parts of tho town aud surrounding county, and the 'printer I gathers a meagre support here und there, as be best can. And there are many men even counting themselves wealthy and influential cttisons, who do not and nevct have a'ided one penny toward the etipn-irt of a local paper. Yet the home paper S all the time aiding them?and they expect it, too, in that it advocates the interest of the town, and encourages its prosperity. It is all very proper and right that tho home paper should lerve nothing unsaid that may benefit the community id which it is printed, in felting forth its advan tages, etc., but it in no less right that the ommuuity should see to it that tho printer receives a liberal reward for hie labor. ? Instevd of pleading various ex euses why they arc uuable to become subscribers vi advbuisers, or trying to screw down tHe prioior'a charge* below a living rate, when thej get a littlo printing done^ every business man in the town ought lb be willing to pay a liberal price for advertising his business, or call ing ; and not only take the paper himself but use bis influence to induce his friends and customers to become sub scribers. We Hold that the man who wishes his towo to prosper, that he may prosper with it, should jealously foster and support the home paper as a great lover tu bo used for that purpose. If the paper has a good support, no fear but the printer will do his share with in terest in pushing forward the town and the business of its people ; show him that his labors are appreciated, and you will be surprised at the impetus and vigor of your cucouragctucnt will give to the columns of the paper. As' you relieve his minu from the cares of "mak ing both ends meet" financially, he will have more time to bestow on hie paper of which every citizen may feel proud, r?o matter wiiere he picks it up. Suppose you give the bints thrown out in thus I aiticle a little earnest consideration and j see how the matter stands. Perhaps tho home paper ia not all vom could wish to have it. Try tho effect of a little prac tical support, aud you may be astonished ut tho result: How tho Train frdni 'Tutor Hill fnmp In on Time. I _ HY tlAUUY WILD'. M-. ? withers looked east. flic train from 'Tuler I!ill rVus almost clue, but as Mr. S mit hers looked he only saw the line of the track stretching off in toward the cation on the down grade, and com ing up passing him with its two lines of rails, until liulfu mile beyond it launched into two tracks, one heading off up into the mountains to the '-lumber section," where wero cut the cfb'ss ties for tho road, and the other, the old traei on the up grade, disappearing with its two lines iii converging rails, in the far distance. "Wa al," taid Suiithcrs, ".she's a-coro iug on Una?-her who 1 h. vori't seen for 'must a year?and the babby, who l aint .?-ecu nt all. I wonder does it look mach lite her!" Mr. Smithcra was not a handsome man, neither a courtly, ns be stood on the track,'looking tor the coming train ; but with his old ich hut, his sunburnt face, and his rusty looking old rifle, and what the coining train was bringing him, he was more than these can ever give? he was happy. "Waal," said Smithcis again, after a while, "all's ready." Ho turned and looked. Stretching out before bim was his "dlggins"?Smith era' Crossing," as it was called. A neat cottage among tho rocks, with som? trees, a few rough attempts at ornamental shubbory, and a largo field of corn. Iu the far distance tho peak of Duu detank in outlaid, looting hnfyk-hjeY ' nearer', a sttcai? ran brawling and foam ing through the pais Of 'T?ter HOI can on, making music with the songs of the birds and tbe gentle sighing of the au. tumn brcexe, and bis waa "Smithers* Crossing," long got ready iu anti^ftpjy j of "her" and the "babby." "That ibar train from ?T?ter' Hilt must be nioiiglity near on time," and Mr. Smithors looked east. Nothing Una tti>! long line of track disappearing behind the bilk in the canon. And Mr. Smith era looked west. Way Bp ia tho mountains he saw a wreath of smoke, which he knew was the morning's up lumber train coming back) and he watched it as it rapidly came ntorfc 1a view. Mr. Smithcrs, as J?* looked j thought (one can see very far in those clear, mountainous regions) be saw something tin usual about the train, nnd, as it camo nearer iu view, he. saw that the long lino of cars loaded with lumber bad bo come detached in some manner from the locomotive, and wero rushing with all the speed*their momentum could give on tho down grade. Bounding from side to side, the immense cars, loaded with lum ber, sometimes almost seemed, to leap from the track, followed by tho ibcom'livc at full speed. Suddenly Mr. Smithors turned white : "The train from 'tartar Hill is due on time, and they will run into each other, and her and the baby are on tho train." Mr. Smithers was a man of action, not words. About a mile on, where the two tracks met, was a brake to the turn, the cars ffo'n one .track to ihe other, and Mr. 8mithers knew tnat if he could get there in time he could stop the train and save "her" and the "baby." So he started at full speed, never pausing or hevdiug, even when be heard the passenger train from 'Tarter Hill blow its, "whistle to bid her anp the baby," thought Smythers, as ho arrived breathless at tbe brake. This he seised with both hands, and held with all his strength, but he found lie could do noth ing except by standing on the track, right in front of the descending train which came thundering on. fir. Smithcrs could see the men, with blanched facet, waving their hands to him ou the truck, aud throwing off the rails to lighten the cars. Mr. Smithors looked cast and saw the traill front ;Trir ter Uill coming round the enrve -Tor her and the baby." The ground trembled?there came a flash ?a roar?a bright light, with a sudden darkness, and an inanimate mass hurled from the track, and the cars ran off into the switch and stopped, as the train from 'Tater Hill came in safe on time. * * * * * * Mr. Lmitbor seemed to himself to be as'cep, and to hear, as we sometimes' do in our thoughts of odr far-tin eriildtlbod, long dead, voices os of people talking vague and iadistinct as in a dream?and lie awofce. ' Is she aud the baby safe ? God bless them!" He felt a pressure of a soft baud in his, and then hot tears "Jennie, is that you? God bless you !'' "I heard a man once say in our sec. tion?he was a preacher?that *GoS loved little children.' " "Was it true V "Yes, IcW "YVeii, iie wiii take oaro of you both, thon?lfc'tV?let's?-see the baby." Mr. Smithors saw a !argo pair of cu rious blub eyes look wonde.ingly into I his, a. chubby little face aud lair hair. "So liifc her,*' said Sntithers. "Jean nie, if that preacher man said true, he mutt take eare of you both." "Hold my hands, darling?are you there ? I can't sec you ! I might have lived, but you see the train from 'Tater Hill came in too near on time. Kiss me, you and the baby." And so tlie train1 for the other world having arrived bofore" time, Mr. Smith crs took the through ticket on it. Pointed Tczzle.?Hero is some thing worth studying. If any of our readers can solve it and sco tho point, they are at perfect liberty to do so ; I FY ??O tVBFO RYOUK PAPE KPA Y? P TheIWi*deN?n.
