Here is a heart-to-heart talk which a country editor, who evidently has troubles of his own, recently gave to his delinquent subscribers: “Good morning. Have you paid your sub scription for last ye. r? Perhaps you owe for last year, or several years. Now, you understai d, we need mon ey; we have mill ons—to get, but it is really an imi osition to let the good people go on carrying our mon ey when we are f ;rong and healthy, and so abundant!' able to bear t)ie burden ourselves. For this reason we ask anybody who 1 as any of our mon ey in his possession to leave it at the office or send it by post, freight train, express of any other way, just so it gets here. Silver and gold are heavy, and it would be a matter of life-long regret if anybody should get bow-legged carrying it about for us.” PETIT JURORS.
