Mr A believes he shall discontinue his paper, I oca use it contains no political nev.a- and B is decidedly l opinion that the same sheet dabbles too freely in the political movements of the day. C doesn't take it I ecause it is all on one side and D, wh- sc opinion it generally expresses, does not like i'.l ceruse it is not severe cu sugh upon the opposition. E thinks it docs not p;iV due attention to fashionable literature and F cannot bear the flimsy notions c-f idle wi iters. G will not sutler a paper to le upon his table, which ventures an ; iui n against slavt ry and II never patronizes one that lacks moral com ago to exp; se the evils of the day. I declares he does not w ant a paper filled with the hodge-podge proceeding.-and doings of congress tai l the legislature and J considers that paper the best which gives the grcates quantity of such proceedings. K patronizes papers for the light and lively reading which they contain and L wonders that the press does not publish Dewey's sermons, and such other "solid matter." M will not even read a paper that does n t expose the evils of sectarianism and J is decidedly of opinion that the pulpit and not the press should mcdlie with religious dogmas. Oiikcs to read police reports audi', whose appetites is less morbid, would n at have the paper in w hich these silly reports are printed in his house. Q likes anecdotes a.nd R wont take a paper that publishes them. R says that murders and dreadful accidents ought n t to be put into papers and S complains that his miserable paper gave no account of that highway robbery last week. T say s the types is two sural; and U thinks it too large. V stops his paper because it contains nothing but advertisements and all that W wants with it is to see what is Ibrsae. X will not take the paper unless it is left at his store l elbro sunrise and Y declares he v. li! not pay for it if left so early that it is stolen from bis domicile before he is up. And, last of all comes the compliments of some of the ladies, who declare the paper is uniii'cresring, because it does n t ev ery day contain a list of marriagesjust as it it were possible for the po u- printer to marry people, whether the art:es will or no.
