BY JULIAN A. SELBY Tqp Poor to Taps a Newspapeb. An anecdote is told of a farmer going* one day to the office of & New York jour nal and ordering his paper stopped, because he was too poor to take it any longer. "Suppose we make a bargain," said the editor, "in thiB.way. Go home and Beleet a hen that ?hall be called my hen; sell the egg* that tho hen lays during the year,' and send the proceeds to me as your BubsoriptiQiiTfor the paper." The Isomer was pleased at ? so oasy a.wajrt? pay for his i and readily consented. , The result was, that doing the year the hen paid lor the paper twice its regular price of subscription. ' I This is by no means n'pnx** fic? tion, for the same may be true in a great multitude of oases. Almost every one wastes .and throw away more than enough money during the year to get a weekly or daily newspaper that would furnish him with intellectual food, and keep him posted in the busy, stirring events .of the day. A very small retronchmfcnt in the luxuries that almost every one indulges in would secure1 a; .dapiy1 visitor full of gossip about*.';ine doings of ' the great world around us; full of Stirring events in the history that is every day being made in our own coun? try, and full of .useful general ,jn, fornmtion, and facts in literatures, science, and art. Bt-sides it is'the duty of-the,peoplo to" support the press, for it has always stood as a grand. bulwarki between them and political and military oppres? sion; it has Bounded', the notes of warning that has often aroused them to action; it has stripped the borrowed cloak from corruption and venality in high places, and showed them in all their deformity, and is to-day the great friend of education, justice, religon and peace. The press speaks every? where, at all times, carrying light in places where othewise perpetual darkness would reign. 1 And when we remember what the World would be without the press?how dark? ness, ignoranoe, nee and oppression would, flourish unopposed?let no one an^- longer say that he is too poor to take a newspaper.

She has,' it seems, adopted a garment in which it is almost impossible to' walk or to sit down; or to enter a carriage, and which c^n only be worn by throw? ing the body into the most painful contortions according to instruc? tions specially given by the dress-makers who manufacture it The Paris correspondent of the Queen gives the following account of' this new article of dress. 'Demi-trains/ says tho correspond? ent, .'are inconvenient for the street and even for getting" into a carriage, and they hre so tied back and bonded with elastic that walking, and, above all, sitting down are not the easy, careless movement of yore.
