U'C U -.Salt.,) paper, Tib. I Printer' (ira'nilies. No class of mechanics, perhaps, suffer more from the predatory and begging habits of individuals than printers. They work so hard, invest so much, furnish their papers so low, that people teally seem to th.nk they actually arc worth nothing but to be given away, or taken without leave. Accordingly, nothing is more ronlnon than for people, who have the curiosity to read something that happens to be peculiarly interesting, or who wish to send a paper to a friend as a token of remembrance, to run into a printing office, and ask for or lake a paper just out from the press: and if the printer should think ot taxing him any thing for it, the customer would think himself quite insulted by the niggardliness of ihe stingy printer! With .vhat other mechanics or business men would people think of taking the same liberties? Go into a grocery and ask the retailer to give you a four-pence-ha -penny s worth ot tea, collee or su,r.,r and' unless vou were really an ob ject of charity, be would probably think l.imcfi f tfi f? one lmnoseu upon. 'r visii ,1 hook store, and make oil' with halfadozfti sheets of writing paper, and most likely the p. oprietor will pursue his cus i,wmr wP'i -i writ for netit larceny. Go into a joiner's shop, and ask him to give you six cents worth uf his wares, and 'you would feel as if you weie engaged in a cheap business. And yel people -;m putpr : miniin.fr office, and tarie six cents worth of printer's labor, and really think it one of that sort of tilings which should be given away because the paper is printed. A clean w hite sheet he would think too valuable to abstract without pay, and vet it costs a printer 7 5 dollars verv week to set up the types tuat are impressed upon the sheet, that make it wnrthlcss. No no this is not the way to do business. If vow want a paper and will not subscribe for it as all Honorable me:1 Jo just step into the office, and laying down a silver bit, say "Sir, if you please, let me have one of your papers, and take that in pay for it." You wdl readily be accommodated, and then, be seated, (not looking over the shoulder oi the compositor, to read his manuscript) or retire and read your own paper, like a man of good conscience and honorable principles. .1 swallowed up Cifi.

Newspapers. A child beginning to read becomes delighted with a newspaper, because lie reads of names and things that are familiar. . A newspaper in one year, says Mr. Weeks is worth a quarter's schooling to a child, and every father must consider that substantial in format-on is connected with this advancement. The mother of the family being one of its head, and hating more immediate charge of i lie children, ought to be intelligent in mind, pure in language, and always cheerful and circumspect. As the instructor of her children, she should herself be instructed. A mind occupied, becomes fortified against the ills r.f life. Children amt-d by reading and study, -ere of course considerate and easily governed.

How many parents who never spent twenty dollars for books for their families, wopidrdly have giv en thousands to reclaim a son or daughter who had ignorant!' and thoughtlessly fell into temptation? . ..,. , JJ.v:tIcil hints to Mechanics. There is mi mii'di truth, wholesome advice, and good sen-e in the following, which we extract from an exchange paper, that we cannot avoid giving it a place in our columns: "Avoid giving long credits even to your best customers. A man who can pay easily wid not thank you lor the delay, and a slack, douhff 'ul paymaster, is not too valuable a customer to dun sharply and seasonably. A fish may as well attempt to live without water, or a man without fiir. as a mechanic without punctuality and promptness in collecting and paying debt 5.
