My Newspape I*.
Who can estimate the value of the news
paper? No one until iie has lost it —until
tin* pleasant periodical visits, like the face
of a dear friend, bringing such a fund of
wit, news and general intelligence, that
he is always greeted with a hearty wel
come, are withdrawn. It is in one sense
the light of the world, without which the
mental universe would he as much in
darkness as the terrestrial is without the
sun.
There are books, it is true, good, wise,
instructive and entertaining; but they do
not ted ij> what we want to know of pass
ing events, or direct us to the best places
of trade or business. Neither do they in
form us of who of our friends ure passing
away or getting married, or who is doing
a driving business, or who is bankrupt,
or who has sailed to the eastern continent,
or who has returned from a tour thither.
I did not think of all this until I had
formed the foolish resolve not to take my
paper another year. The pressure of the
limes was severe, business dull, my fami
ly exjieusivo, and it really seemed* neces
sary to retrench SOUK where, in order to
make both ends meet at the end of the
year. Ho I thought, as 1 sat one evening
in dressing gown and slippers, with my
teet upon the fender, I had my last paper
in my hand, which i perused with a
greater degree of interest than ever before.
It may be because L resolved to part with
it.
'1 tell you. Katie,' said I to my wife,
'iL won't do, we must curtail expenses;
and 1 will begin by withdrawing my ad
vertisement front the newspaper, * and
irdering it discontinued. Taxes will soon
lie due, which must be paid; wood is enor
mously high, but we can't do without it
—nor groceries, nor lights or clothing or
many other incidental expenses. We
have plenty of hooks and magazines, old,
to be sure, still they are readable; and we
must do without the paper for a year to '
come.'
'lt is only one dollar and a half a year,'
said my wife, tjuietly.
*1 know it,' 1 replied, 'hut every dollar
counts now-a-days.'
'But do you not believe that it will have
a tendency to render your business still
more dull not to advertise." she asked.
'Nonsense! a place so well established
needs not so questionable a lever to help
it on. I do not suppose that will make
any dillerenee, while the cost of advertis
ing amounts to considerable,' I replied, a
little impatient.
'But what will you do for the news'."
she ventured again.
'Oil, 1 can gain enough of that by inter
i-ourse with others, and can occasionally
buy or borrow a cop v.'
'John Hniythe,' now fully aroused, '1
am ashamed of you. What ! too poor to
take a pa]er yourself, and yet willing to
iilcli information tromothers, whose mon
ey has paid for what they learn, and, at
the same time, defraud the honest pub
lishers, who are constantly laboring with
head and hand for others' good. Talk
about retrenchment. You had better stop
your bills at the saloons for ale and segurs
—a needless exi*euiitu re foryoursclf&lone,
while the newspaper is a perpetual intel
lectual least lor the whole family, your
self not excepted, and it costs 'but the
merest trifle in comparison to the money
you spend every week for tobacco and
drink. ou have not spoken of the in
creased price of these articles. Stop the
paper, indeed!' And my wife jerked her
chair around with not a very graceful
movement, and sat with her hack toward
me, in utter contempt for my 'pennv wise
and pound foolish' resolution.
Now, I make it a point never to vield a
point to my wife or any of the family, if
i can help it, as in ease I should I would
Itecome a secondary consideration in my
own family—a position Ibv no means in
tend to occupy; so I said nothing, but sat
and pulled my fragrant Havana, watch
ing the graceful folds of smoke as it wound
itself in little wreaths about my head. I
resolved that, come what would, I would
not yield indulgence in the delicious weed
for the sake of a newspaper.
the next day 1 called u]x>n my pub
lisher, settled accounts, and ordered the
paper to be discontinued.
'On what grounds'." he asked, in some
surprise.
'Nothing,' I said, 'only T can't aflbrd
it.' and 1 walked away, leaving him to
liis own reflections.
Time passed on, and on the day when
it was due 1 could not feel quite content
ed at the non-appearance of niv news
paper. I missed the bright cheery faceol
the carrier and tie- interesting news he
was want to bring with the return of each
week, through fair weather and foul.—
There were other paper* about, for 1
bought a copy occasionally; but thest
* were published in eastern cities, ami eon
tained no local news of my own home.
At night, when I reached home, mj
eldest daughter, Mvm. met me in tin
It.-in
i 'Where is the paper, papa?' said she. —
i 'Oh lam in such a hurry to see it. Mattie
I Truewortli's marriage is in it, ami the
| editor has published such an appropriate
verse in connection I am told.'
But I put her hand aside, saying, The
paper will not come any more, 1 have
ordered it discontinued.
'Why, father!' she'exelaimed,'howcan
we do without it?' ,
'We must I cam to do without it, I re
plied, as r ltas.-ed to the upper room.
Alter supper, instead ot reading to ni\
family— sometimes leading tlieir minds
away' off to other scenes and distant re
gion-, beautiful countries that others have
explored at a great expense and some risk
of life; sometimes to the fierce fields ol
battle, blood and carnage, pictured so viv
idly that they seemed indeed before us
while we were comfortable and safe in our
little home; or singing over the stray
waifs of real poetry which ofttimes finds
its way into the newspaper, touching a
tender chord in every heart, —-as I was
! won't to do, 1 stretched niyselt up< 11 the
sofa and tried to sleep.
'Tommy,' whispered Myra, 'run over to
Mr. Wilds and see if you cannot borrow
his Gazette.
But Tommy soon returned for answer
that 'Mr. Wild was reading it himself.'
'Then go to Mr. Brown's, and, if you
cannot get his, to Mr. Gates.'
But Tommy was not more successful at
j cither those places. Mr. Brown luulta
j en his down town, and Mr. Gates 'didn't
i like to lend his paper. Thought liisfath
! er took it.' A disappointed sigh was My
j ra's only answer.
'The 'particulars # of that murder aflair
are in the Gazette this week,' said my
wife, with a slight frown, upon her brow,
'and 1 would really like to see it.'
'And Millie Mittbrd's new story was to
come out in this week's paper. I really
wish I could borrow it somewhere,' said
Myra.
'Here, Tommy,' said T, taking five
cents from my pocket, 'run down to the
news office and buy a copy, if it is not too
late, or the publishing office.'
Tommy soon returned out of breath. —
'l've run enough after that old paper,'
said he, with a touch of his father 'spunk,'
'and 1 won't go again. The publishing
office was closed, and the news office had
not a number left. 1 would like to find
out, tiiongli, when that excursion is com
ing off. Nobody knows for sure but the
Gazette. Is it in that, father?' he added.
The minds of all as well as myself were
on the missing pajier, but i was thorough
ly out of patience with myself ami with
them. 'I tell you I don't know anything
about it,' I replied, in a not very amia
ble tone I fear, 'seems to me you are all
wonderfully interested in that confounded
paper since you know it is stopped. 1
don't want to hear another word about it.'
This put a quietus upon the subject, at
least for the time. However, as time
passed on, 1 began to think I had made
very little progress towards bettering my
condition, and that gathering informa
tion of current events by 'intercourse with
others,' and from street conversations,
was a very unreliable source. Every one
gave a coloring peculiarly his own, and
every one needs to read for himself to
have a correct idea of 'what is going on'
around him.
Besides this, my business from dull be
came duller, and eventually dullest; while
my neighbor across the way, with no bet
ter qualifications than myself, seemed to
do a driving business. Gould it be lie
cause he advertised largely in all the lo
cals that which nobody took the trouble
to read? Doubtful.
• Due day I met an old friend and custo
mer whom I had not seen for a long time.
I had often wondered what had become
of him, as well as some others in his
neighborhood, who were once all good
paying customers of mine.
'How are you 7' said he, giving me his
hand. 'How do vou prosper; going down
hill, eh?'
'1 hope not,' I replied, with a faint
smile.
'Well, I see you have stopped advertis
ing, and I supposed you had closed out
or smashed up; and, as I am usually in
a hurry when 1 come to town, I go where
they advertise to do work well and
promptly. This is why I have not iK'en
to see you lately. Good-bye, sir. If you
are still in business let us see your card,
and know where you are and what you
are doing.'
I began to think I>etter of advertising
than before, and on my way home 1 gave
the worthy publisher'of the Gazette an
other call.
'1 began to think, freind,' said I, 'that
I began in the wrong direction to curtail
ex j icnses.: that I was indeed 'penny wise
and |Kund foolish' when I withdrew my
patronage. Our interests are more inti
mately connected than I could have be
lieved until I made the experiment.'
ThereiqKin I was again enrolled on his
list <>t subscribers, and half a column de
voted to business affairs. And 1 freely
confess that I have had no occasion to re
gret the expenditure. My old customers
and many new ones began to make their
appearance, business began to revive, and
ere long I felt warranted of securing an
assistant.
My family wore gatilied with the ap
pearance of their old friend, the Newspa
per; and i am resolved that, sooner than
part with it again, T will yield up'ale and
cigars,' which for me would be quite a
sacrifice. I prize more highly than ever
before my Newspaper.
Murder iu Boxbury, Mass.
Mary Ellen Kearney was shot dead on
i the 19th. in the doorwav of her father's
house in Roxbury, by John Moran. The
i parties hail been keeping company, but
Moron's character being reputed bad, the
father of the young woman had forbid
t den him the house. The alleged murder
er surrendered himself to the jiolioe next
I morning. Another cause for shooting
[ the young woman, is the statement that
1 | she had uecidently learned the contents
1 of a letter from a man named Mallorv in
' Philadelphia, written to Moron, announc
- J ing that the man they garoted had died
e | ot his injuries, and cautioning himlMor
