A NEWSPAPER.
A man eats up a pound of sugar, and
the pleasure he has enjoyed te ended; but
the informatioa he gets from a newspaper
is treasured up in the mind. to be enjoyed
anew. and to be used whenever occasidn
or Inclination calls lor it. A newspaper is
not the wisdom of one man. 'nrtWo men:
it is the wisdom of the age..and of the pan
ages too. A family without a newspaper
is always halfsn age behind the times in
general information. besides they never
think much, or find much to tell: about.—
And then there are little ones growing up
to ignorance. mthout any taste [or reading.
Besides all these evtls, there’s the wife,
who, when her work is done, has to sit
down with her hands in her lap, and nolh'
ing to amuse her. or divert her mind from
the toils and cares of the domestic circle.-—-
