The following article should be read ^ria * pondered well by every man who takes a paper without paying for it. My observa tion enables me to state as a fact, that pub lishers of newspapers are more poorly re warded than any other class - o f men in the United States, who invest an equal amount of labor, capital and thought. They are ex pected to do more service for less pay, to stand more sponging and dead-heading, to puff and defend more people without fee or hope o f reward than any other class. They credit wider and longer, get oftenef cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are of- tener the victims o f misplaced confidence than any other calling in the community. People pay a printer’s bill Svith more reluctance 'than any other. It goes harder with them to expend a dollar on a valuable newspaper than ten on a needless gewgaw; yet every body avails himself o f the use ofjihe editor’s pen and the printer’s ink. V How many professions and political repu- tations and fortunes have been made and sus tained by the friendly, though unrequited pen of the editor? How many embryo towns and cities have been brought into notice#nd puffed into prosperity by tbe press ? How^ many railroads, now in successful operation, would have foundered but for the 44 lever that moves the world.” Iu short, what branch of industry and activity has not been promoted, stimulated aud defended by the press. And who has tendered it more than a mis erable pittance for its services ? The bazars of fashion and the haunts o f dissipation and appetite are thronged with an eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms, and the com modities there vended are sold at enormous profits, though intrinsically worthless,' and paid for with scrupulous punctuality, while the counting room of the newspaper is the seat o f jewing, cheapening trade, orders and pennies. It is made a point o f honor to liqui date a/grog bill, btft not of dishonor to repu diate a printer’s bill. thick on his temples, and the furrows on his forehead deeply cut, when we.went back on a visit to our old hojne, and the friends of his youth did not recognize him.

I threw down the dose I was mixing, exclaiming almoft an- grily: j ; / ; • 44 It’s no use, I can’t get along, no matter how hard I strive. . What shall I do now? Oh, dear! I do wish I had no baby !” My very finger tips tingled with terror the instant the unwomanly wish had passed my lips.; and clearing the steps at two or three bounds, I rushed to the corner where her crib stood, eager to clasp her to my bosom, and pour out my remorse in tears and kisses. I snatched aside the curtain. • The crib was there, so was the snowy pillow, bearing the damp impress *of her head; but Little Pearl was gone.
