evil may, and ought to be remediad. In the first place this can be done, to j a considerable extent, by immediate pay- ' ment of the debts due ns. This would J enable us to meet the emergency for the : pre* --nt, by enabling as to buy oar mt- > terwl, rTen at an advanced price, pay I for-'he work we must necessarily hire, j aird leave a little for the very econnmi- j dilute of a large family. We are will, j ing to use the utmost economy and in- : ; dastry. We do not oik to have our bus- , i iuess what it was before the late revul- 1 i • sion. We are willing to suffer, with the 1 1 rest of l be people the losses incident to 1 1 the present state of onr national affairs ; [ I and we are willing to even sacrifice some i j of wbut- we bave.herrtufore earned 'by ; ! strict indostry ; but we do not, al we j have said before, like to work for no- < ' thing and find ourself. ' Another way in which this evil may' j be remedied, is by the increase op our' ' j subscription list. This might be* done j I by the influence of the friendu bf the j j " Wave " who do not want it to slop., i rolling yet, by inducing those to subl scribe who li»ve not already . done so. , ! | Tliere are many persons in the County j who ought to feci interest enough in,l , j such an institution in our midst to par | j one dollar a year, and who are nbund- , ! outly able to do so , anil many of that number are as regular, readers of the pa- , : per as those who pay for it. They arc i ! the newspaper borrowers, a class of ' spongers who ought to hare their eyes poisoned every time they undertake to ' | read a borrowed newspaper, which only , costs u dollar a year. Now we submit •t this mailt r to the candid consideration* i of the public. Shall the " Wave become j a breaker," unuer these circumstances ? j or shall we be compelled to live on air? ! If those who owe us will pay op, and a | goodly nniubcr will add their naims to | our subscription list, we will promise , , toot to stop the publication of the paper, i I or raise the price, of nse an inferior i | quality of paper, unless it should rise rnoch higher in price than at present. We only add, that, hereafter, while ; i the* present prices of materials continue, i we shsli.be compelled to charge adver- j ; tislng rates for all religious and educa- : i tlonsl notices, which we have heretofore published gratis.
