If it contains any, adve ntelements the ;subscribers claim they take too ,inch space. If there ms e. scarcity of advertis i,n , it is ulipot,u1ar, and the people won't have it. If we attend church regularly, they say we .de it for effect. If we stay away from church, they say we are ,moist rouser heathenish, If we accept an iutvitation to a wedd- ing they say we are invited, to a"uvrrite it Ifp we are one the streets much, they say we neglect our business. If we ava:.i? going on the street, they say we don't hustle around af- ter fter the :news. If we reject a ltoae-winded cam- munirttion, its author becomes furl- ovsly enraged and discontinues his paper. If we publish lengthy gommu sear• tions, our .subscribers say we lack die- cretion, and ptit them tin to Ale ope If we ice windows an.

If we •omit jokes, they say we are goo;, miserable ,fossies,, If we are single, they say we are ton helpless to get married. it we ere merri,ed they say it is a pity fn; our wives. If we publish a man who has brought disgrace) on his family, the )friends of the ,anely never forgave us. If we, out of the goodness of our heart, decline_ to say anything cin, the subject, the .mare's enemies are di.:s- appointed, and eve are branded as white -livered cowards. We ate ea* to receive these raps and mans more, and we are al. - ways ready receive visitors, if ac. ooMnanted by dog or not. Of course We tlo not claim there i.,any work in. running a newspaper.
