There is hardly anything so much needed in a family as a newspaper, and yet comparatively speaking, it is esteemed of so little value. Every one who will make a fair trial, and observe the influence of reading over his family will find at the end of the year, that he is not a cent poorer for having been a subscriber to a good newspaper. He will have accumulated more real intelligence of the every day concerns of life and the movements of nations, we take it for granted that he has perused every number with avidity—than he would have done in a series of years deprived of the sight thereof. His wife will have picked up much information relative to the government of children, many useful lessons of household economy, and no small share of instruction suited to her situation. The children will have acquired a degree of information worth the price of subscription ten times told. In fact, a good virtuous and well conducted newspaper in a family, is the best economist of time and money, and the aptest instructor of the mind.
