After you get angry and stop your paper, says an exchange, just poke your finger in water, pull it out, and look for the hole. Then you will know how sadly you are missed. A man who thinks a paper cannot thrive without his support ought to go off and stay awhile. When he comes baek half his friends will not know that he was gone, and the other half will not care a cent, while the world at large keep no account of his movement. You willfind things that you cannot endorse in every paper. Even the Bible is rather plain, and hits some hard licks. If you were to get mad and burn your Bible, the hundreds of presses would still go on printing it, and when you stop your paper and call the editor names, the paper will still bp published, and, what is more, you will read it on the sly.— Keowec Courier.
