" 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 mo to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; but dtm't stnp gending 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 

 Btop any papers until requested to do so.
