The Couixtity Press".
Nothing is more common, says one of-our
brethren ofihe country press, when a person
comes to stop his paper, than to give as an
excuse for so doing that he takes so many
papersthat he can’t afford to pay for them
all, and if he could he has not time to read
them all. The person forgets that by so do-
ing he insults the feelings of the editor; and
if such is reallythe reason why he discon-
tinues his paper, he ought to have good bree-
ding enough to keep it to himself. It virtu-
ally amounts to this; ‘I lake :1‘ number of
papers, I want to stop one, and as yours is
the uorest of the whole, I'll stop th.rt.’ Now
whilb we admit the right of a man to take
whatever paper or papers he pleases, yet we‘
lay it down as a principle that the local press
should receive his first support, because upon
himself and others in the neighborhood it
looks for support. Nothing can be more
gallingio a country editor, than to hear of
New York papers having their six or seven
thousand subscribers, when his paper has
not so many hundreds: yet he works as
hard to get out a good paper as his city friend
and the only reason why it is not so large
and interesting, _is because it has not such
good support. Patty presses depend upon
party men for support, and in all political
contests the country press if it does not rake
the lead, does most of the work. We like
the country papers; they remind us of
home. They generally contain some good
story. There is a rusticity, a gdod natured-
ncss about them which goes to the beari.—-
But the public mind has become vitiated, it
longs for the metropolitan papers, and the
good old paper which has been taken in the
family for twenty years, has to be given up,
turned off‘, like a supcrannuated horse, to
die in its old age. Thus everything is be-
coming New Yorkisli Our young men read
New York papers, they fall in love with
New York fashions and New York life The
plow and the scythe and the hue lose their
charm. He longs to boa nierchant; far-
ming and mechanical labors are only fit for
clowns. Well he goes to New York, en-
ters into business, in a few years fails, cortices
back to his fatber’s house in debt and until
red for everything useful. A great deal has
been written on the passion which our young
men liave for city life. L3l- farmers lake pa-
pers printed in their own county and see if
the passion don't cease.
An litter-testiiig II iisliaiid.
One of the go-aheid ladies of this pro-
gressing age thus writes of lIl:‘l'_&l]USl.l(l!lt’l to
t‘.:c~l$oston Olive Branch. it does seem to
be a pity thatsucb a woman should have been
Callglil in the same net with such a ‘man as
this lady describes her husband to bc—but
such accidents do happen occasionally. \Vc
should like to have Solomon's opinion of his
wife:
“ Mr. Editor :—lf you could only see my
lill.~i).'.l'i(i, Solomon Stillwcotlzr-r‘??? It is in v
firm conviction he will be the death of me.
I am naturally a happy, bright, eiicrgctic,
warin-hearted, chain lightning, impulsive
woman;-—horn after ilie stages were exploded,
and in the days of I?-iilroad and steam en-
gines. 'I’ve the most capacious heart that
ever thiimpcd against silken bodiccs; can hate
like Lucifer, and love in proportion, and be
eternatly grateful to one who is so’ iiind to
me. Now Solomon‘ is calm. Nothing ruf-
flcs or disturbs him. Mount Vesuvius could
n’t make him hurry; he does everything
both mercantile and tiiatrirnonlai by rule,
sqllate and conipass. When proper time ar-
rives, it comes off, and it don"t a fraction of
a second before. VVcrc the house on fire, he
would stop to lake the lint off his coat, and
brush his teelli before starting. if I ask him
a question at breakf.:st,I never get an answer
till after ten ; he walks around the house with
.1 noiseless, velvety tread like a supernatural
pussy cat. Should the children in their play
knock over the tea table and its contents, he
looks quietly up from his book and says,
“ Am’t you rathetrude, children !”
One summer evening in the country, as he
sat upon the grass smoking a cigar; it occur-
red to me whether anything short of an earth-
quake would start him up} so I_ placed a
long string of crar-k-ers directly behind him,
and ‘touched ’etri off, and as I'm a living _v_vo-
man he never so much as winked. You
should see him getting ready for church.
Sunday, as he pairs bis finger nails, lays ev-
ery hair on his head ove'r' its appropriate
bump, sprinkles a drop of cologne on the
northwest corner of his handkerchief, and
ties the bow of that cravat for the fortieth
time; i never saw Solomon excited ; [never
heard him laugh he don't know the luxury
of tears, Now if I could only get up a do-
mestic squabble! (thunder could clear the
atmosphere, you knoW,) but it’s no use. . l’Ve
tried to start him on politics, but he‘s on the
fence, had as lief jump one way as the other,
and is quite indifferent as to gluten: i‘ve
at on the sulks and been distant and digni-
fied—*-I tell you he likes it; besides. you
couldn’t freeze him colder than be is; I’ve
been loving, and patting _him-—il’s a waste
of aurniunition, he can’t be thawed out. lt’s
my solemn belief that he was originally in-
tended for an old maid, but b'y some horrid
mistake, he's my husband. I could double

A T(§|llp!:I'lil§ce‘ Joke.
Joe Harris was-ii whole souled, merry
fellow, but unfortunately, very fond ofa
glass. After living in New Orleans for ma-
ny years, he came toibe conclusion of visit-
ing’ an old uncle, away up in Niassacliiisetts
whom’! he had not seen for years Now,
there is a great difference between New Ur-
leans and 1\/.lassa\chnsctts, in regard to the use
of ardent spirits, and when Joe arrived there
and found all excited about tempe2‘ance,‘he
felt bad, thinking, with the old song, that
“keeping the spirits up by pouring the spir-
its down” was one of the best ways to make
time pass (l) and began to fear, indeed, that
he was in a pickle. But on the morning af=
let his arrival, theold man and his sons be-
ing out to work, his aunt came to him and
said-
“Joe you have been living in the South,
anti, no doubt, are in the habit_ of taking a
little something‘ to‘ drink, about eleven o’cl'k,
Now, I/seep‘ some here for medicinal purpo-
sex, but let no one know it, as my husband
ivantsjo set the boys :1 good example.” '
Joe promised, and thinking he would get
no more that «lay, took, as he expressed'it,-
“a buster” Afu-r that he walked out to the
stable, and who should he meet but his un-
cle '
"W'ell, Joe,” says he, “I expect you are
accustomed to drink something in New 0.-
leans, but you find us all tcmpeiance here,
and for the sake of my sons, I don’t let them
know that I have any brandy about ; but 1
just keep a little out here for my rheuma-
tism. \Vill you accept a little?”
Joe signified his Feacliness, and took an-
other big horn. Then continuing his walk
he cameto Vl here the boys were hauling
rails. Alter c‘onversin'g awhile, one cit‘ his
cousins said—
“Joe, I expect you would like to have a
drink, and as the old folks are down on liq-
uor, we beep some out hereto help us with
our work.” .,
Ont came the bottle and down they sat;
and he says that by the time he went home
to dinner, he was as tight as he could well
be, and all from visiting a temperance [ani-

In wliatever you erigage, pursue it with it
stcariincss of purpose as though you were
dH.i_-'l'mlllv23d to succeed. A vaccillating mind
‘never accornplislicd anything worth naming.
There is nothing like a fixed, steady aim___
It dignifics our nature and insures our suc-
cess. Who have secured the most for man-
kind? Who have rais".2‘d themselves from
poverty to riches? Those who are steady
to their purpose. The man who is one thing
to-day and ano‘ther to-‘mo‘rrow—who drive-s
an idea peil iIl('ll this week while it drives
him the next —is alrvaysin trouble, and does
just nothing from one year's end to the‘ other.
Look and admire the man of steady purpose.
He moves noiselessly along, and yet what
wonders he accomplishes l I-Ie rises gradu-
ally we grant,but surely. The heavens are
not too high for him, neither are‘ the stars be-
ycnd his reach.
The Young Men of the Age. _
Not long since, we saw a tear gathering
in the eye of an old man, as he spoke of the
past and the prcsent—of the time when he
burhed pine knots upon the rude home health
for light to obtain a scanty ‘ education, and
then compared the ten‘ thousand pl'l\'Il(-‘ges
which are now scatfered broadcast around
every door. Oh.said be,in tremulons tones,
the young n"r'en of this day do not appreciate
the light of the age they live in. The words
of the old man m§’dc ussad, while {It the same
time we felt mortified that so many of our
young men fail lo improve the advantages
within their reach. They tire even continu-
ally muttering about their lot, and pushing
for positions where they can _win the reward
without the sweetening, purifying, ennoblirig
sacrifice of toil. The mist-cloud enjoyinents
of a day are eagerly sought after, to the ex-
clusion‘ or neglect of the more honorable, in-'
tcllectual and useful. In truth. few of our
young men know anything of the value of
the privileges around them.

Destiny of Man
Man is not a savage ora pauper by the in;
inexorable fatality of his nature He is sur.
rounded by every’ form of the truest and no.
blest wealth of well being for the body,
we hb for the mind, wealth for the heart,
H0 is not of plebilean origin, but his linings
is from God; and when he exemplifies the
dignity‘ of his nature, royal and patrician ti-‘
ties sinkinio oblivion. Men were not born
to perform twenty four months of liodiiy la-
bor in twelve months of time, while the Illa
ielleciual and moral iniproveinent, which a
single year might master is spread over 3
life. The laws of nature and of God doom
no Jinn to live on a potatoe a day: but rho
productive powers of the earth are as much
beyond all healthful demands of sustenance
as the volume of atmosphere which encircle
the globe is beyond the capacity of human
lungs. Men ‘were not created to live in
wigwnms or in sties; but to rise up and lie
down in dwellings of Weallll and elegance,
Men were uotfcrealed for mcndicity societies
and aims-houses, and the gallows: but for
competence, and freedom, and virtue; not
for thoughtless puerilities and vanities, but
for digriiry and honor, for joy unspeakable
and full of glory.

have just conversed with a gentleman Worth
his forty thousand dollal‘s,who a few months
ago was in debt to the amount of several
thousands. He did not sit in the chimney

a strong pull, and kept pulling till one pilz
