■“ Bissixe A JiEWSPAPER.
How few people seem to know wliat it
costs to run a newspaper. This is an ejacu
lation often heard in newspaper counting
rooms after the departure of somebody
who has tried to confiscate a paper, or get
in a puff of somebody on the strength ol
old friendship or some imaginary reason
equally as strong. Hv some unaccounta
ble misapprehension of facts, there is a
large class of people iu the world who
think that it costs little or nothing to run a
newspaper, and that if they buy a copy
from a newsboy, when too far from the
office to come and begone, they are regu
lar patrons, and entitled to unlimited
tut ors. Men call every day at newspaper
offices to get a copy of the daily paper,
just from press, for nothing, who would
never dream of begging a pocket hand
kerchief Irom a drv goods store, an apple
from a fruit stand, or a piece of candy
from a confectioner, even upon tin* plea
of an old acquaintance or having bought
something once before. One paper is not
much, but a hundred a day amounts to
something in the course of time. But
this is a small drain compared with tho
free advertising a newspaper is expected
to do. Some men who have paid two
dollars at an early period in life for an ad
vertisment worth four or five, appear to
think they are stockholders in the estab
lishment for eternity. They demand the
publication of all marriage and funeral
notices, obituaries, and family episodes
for the next torty years gratis. .Speak of
pay and tiiey grovv indignant. “Don't I
patronize your paper?” “Yes; but you
receive the worth of vour money for what
yon paid." “But," says the patron, “it
will not cost you anything to put this in,"
which is just as ridiculous as to ask a man
■to grind your ax on his grindstone, and
graciously tell him that it won't cost him
a cent. It takes money to run a news
paper. as well as any other business, and
no paper will succeed financially that car
ries a dead-head system. Any mention of
the people's affairs that they are anxious
to see iu print is worth paying for, and
when printed is generally as any other in
vestment of the same amount.
The newspaper business is very exact
ing on all connected with it, and the pay
is comparatively small: the proprietors
risk more money for smaller profits, and
the editors and reporters and printers
work harder and cheaper than the same
number of men in any other profession
requiring the given amount of intelligence
and training and drudgery. The life has
its charms and its pleasant associations,
scarcely known by the outside world; but
it has its earnest work and anxieties and
hours of exhaustion, which likewise, are
not known to those who think the busi
ness all fun. The idea that newspaperdom
is a charmed circle where the favored
members live a life of ease and free from
care, and go to the circus at night on a
free ticket and to the springs on a free
pass in the summer, is an idea which we
desire to explode practically and theor
etically. Business is business, and the
journal that succeeds is the one that is run
on a square business footing, the same as
banking or building bridges, keeping hotel
or running a livery stable—Memphis Ava
lanche.

T here are many sewing machines, now offered to :
•the public, that have their good points, and are of |
much assistance to the housewife and the industri- 1
oils seamstress. Parties purchasing n sew iug ma
chine of «»»// sort, find the improvement on the old
fa-hioiied way of sewing by band so great and
pleasing, that they are naturally, but erroneously,
led to believe thai they have the be.-1, until the spell
is broken by the introduction of Me Siiitjtr of isTU I
into a neighbor's family. w Inch is sure, by tin* in
creased rapidity and ca.-e w itli w liich it does ever}

, “Vertical F« etl Pars," “Noist less Running,” sib nt
Feed,” and la-t and wot-t of all, the low-priced—
i * Family Shuttle Machines.”
Many of these points are desirable, (and the
| Singer excells all in each individual speciality) but
1 the greatest use made of these special points, is by
1 the retail agent who parades them before the inex
perienced purchaser w ith such fluent and earnest
style, as to entirely divert attention from the really
* important bearings of the case. While otlier inno
cent local agents ignorantk represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable of doing every varie

editorial notices, or expend funds in “log-rolling”
at Fairs to gain medals or premium*.
