THE ADVANTAGES OF A NEWSPAPER IN A


Riding out from town few miles, one eve
ming last week, (says the editor,) we chanced TO
call at the house of Mr., who was absent
with his wife on visit No white person APP
peared about the house, with the exception of six
or eight well-looking children whose ages differ
ed from that of Is years down to absolute infan-
cy. We we're soon in the midst of them, and
from the intense gaze with which the little fellows
beheld US, and the mute silence they at first pre-
served, we perceived that we were stranger to
this portion Of the rising generation.


Edtor-Where is your father! inquired we Of
sweet little lass, about or 0 years Of age, who
stood nearest us, leaning against bed post.
Why, sir said she, he is gone TO the Hot Springs.
The Hot Springs in Arkansas!


Girl-Yes, sir; he has seen piece in the
Banner about the Hot Springs, and he could not
rest till he started to see them.


Editor-Your father takes the Banner, then,
does he!

Edtor-Well, do you remember what you see
in it, after you read it!


Girl-O yes, sir, for we read it every day some.

Editor-Who is your representative in Con-
gress!
