" Don't Stop "—that is what many write 

 to us about their papers, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says: "This 

 has been a year of disaster, and it is not con- 

 venient for me to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; hut don't stop sending it. I will 

 get the money to you within three months.'* 

 Such letters are coming every day, and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 Stop any papers until requested to do so.
