Post-rider. Good morning, friend, I have bro't
you a family breakfall ?—here is a newspaper for
you.
Farmer. I believe that my family would hardly
be fatisfied with such light food ; —we had much
rather fit down to a platter of good beef (leaks.
Pof rider. Why, here is wholesome meat of
all kinds, some dressed in a plain and simple man
ner, and some cooked in a higher talle and season
ed with a little chine. Here too is a plenty of all
forts of sauce, excepting four crout.—ln short,
the paper dilhes up a little something for every
reasonable palate ; —and, at the fame time, the
cookery, even to the very.broth, is all American.
Not an Englishman nor Frenchman is fuffered to
have a finger in any of the dishes. Come Sir, will
you be a fubferiber for such kind of fare ?
Farmer. Not lat present.—As you carry the
paper, 1 suppose you have a share in the profits,
and therefore, it is for your interefl to praise it,
in order to get it off; but, for my part, I believe
that since the war in Europe is over, newspapers
will grow very lean, and scarcely be worth read
ing. ~
Pofl-rider. I muff differ from yon in that par
ticular; The reading of murderous battles never
yet made man, woman or child, either wiser or
better ; it only serves to harden rhe mind by inur
ing it to (cepes of blood. The paper will not
teach people how to kill, but it will teach how to
save life and how to render life virtuous and
hap^py. It will contain prudent and wholesome
advice to the people of all clafles and conditions.
There will be something in every Paper, which you
would with to have your children remember ;
and if you should preserve the papers and bind
them, they will make a cheap and ufeful family
book.
Farmer. As I have never read the Newspaper,
1 cant coinradift you; but my chief objection, I
have not yet mentioned :—The times are growing
so hard, that I cant afford money for a newspaper.
Podrider. Ah, MONEY ! That is the
very thing I was thinking of. Unless a con
siderable quantity of that precious oil be daily
applied, the printing press cannot work to any
advantage But what is the paltrv sum of two
dollars to a man of your eftate?—And then confid-'
er that your taking the paper after a length of time
will make you richer, rather than poorer. Some
part of the papers will be filled with remarks on
husbandry ; and, with what the editors may cull
from almost an hundred other, newspapers, which
every week come to their office, and from files of
magazines and a multitude of books, together
with what little they can spin out of their own
brain, it will be a bad case if in a whole year they
cant collect so much good matter on husbandry as
will be worth two dollars to a farmer.
Farmer. Let me look at your paper. I per
ceive the print is plain : provided the matter be as
good as the manner, I (hall find no fault with it.
I had concluded not to take a newspaper, now
that times are becoming hard and difficult, but
1 will confider on it ; and as you have offered me
what you call a family breakfaft, I offer you a real
breakfaft.—-Come, walk in. “ John, draw us a
little cider, and then give this man's horse Jame good
hay."

SONG.
A Lonely cot is all I own :
It ltduds on yonder verdant down ;
And near the brook / —the brook is final! !
Yet clear its bubbling fountains fall !
A Spreading beach upreare its head.
And half conceals the humble (bed :
From chilling winds a fafe retreat ;
A refuge from the noontide heat !
And on its boughs the nightingale
So sweetly tells her plaintive tale,
That oft the palling rustics dray,
With loit'ring Hep to catch the lay !
Sweet bine eye'd maid, with look so fair ;
My heart's dear pride, my fondeft care !
1 hie me home ; —the llorm doth low'r ;
Come flhare, sweet maid, my (helt'ring bower.
Between a Farmer and a Pofl-Rider.
