RYE COFFEE.

Mr. Poolson,
am one Of those who bT the pressure Of toe
Il ues, have been compelled % resort 70 economy
in all shapessn in money saving Improvements.
I have met with nothing more deserving Of the
public attention than rye coffee. Five or six of
my friends have introduced the use of ii into
their families where until lately the tatse Of it
was wholly unknown and as ! think the coulmu-
nity will Re benefited by the communicated,
shall inform them how TO prepare il. lfproperly
roasted, well made and mixed with good cream
il can with difficulty be distinguished in colour
or taste from the real coffee. This fact | know
from experience When weak and badly roasted,
il Is not very palateable, but its cost l. only
about the tenth part of the imported coffee, it
Que ht not TO be abandoned from q mere failure
in two or three experiments.
The quantity of coffee consumed in the u.
States is about ten millions of pounds annually.
Surprising one quart Of rye 70 70 as far pound
Of coffee, which is about the proportion Che one
TO cost two and half cents, the other 25 to 90,
what saving to the nation would there be py
its introduction into general use
The price of rye now i about 30 cents per
hushel and yet Il is reta,led 20 those who can not
afford to buy il BY the large measure at two dol
lars. which is too extrayagant profit have
thought that it would be worth while for some Of
consideration, and furnish il to the poor ready
roasted at first cost, which would save vast
deal Of fuel. In cold weather too the Soup Soc-
cites might extend their labours, and supply
their customers with wholesome ready made hct
coffee for brea fast, al about one nj quart,
ready sweetened and with milk ill., The grounds
OF the rye thus used TOO may possibly do 70 feed

preparation which ] have seen praciised, l. az

NEWSPAPER BORROWERS.

We find numerous complaints in the ne wspapers,
oTthe practice which too generally prevails a
mong the parsimonious, Of regularly borrowing
TO avoid the tritiipg expence of subscribing TO,
the newspapers, to the great annoyance Of
their subscribers, and to the great injury of the
Printers-We have ourselves suffered from
this cause, having lost number of our most
punctual and valuable subscribers, whose trou-
blesome neighbours would not permit them TO
peruse the paper in quietness. We copy the
following from the Galaxy. Of Boston, TO show
that some Of our neighbors do not sustain the
grievance with so good grace as we have
BORROWERS AND BEGGARS.
!. One OF our subscribers at the nortberly
par, OF the town complains that he can never
read bis paper in peace, on account OF the
continual application of his neighbours TO
borrozr IL; aud also that his good nature (Which
always gets the better Of has duty and oar in
terest) meets but poor reward, tor the pa
ner IS returned IN state 50 defaCed and torn,
as to be utterly useless. We are sorry that
we can do nothing for his reliet--.'therein the
pa lient must minister 10 himself Tor these
borrowing misers have no sense OF shame (;
their backs are as lnsensible 10 the lash OF
rtdicule as that OF the Sea Serpent l. 10 the
pelting of pebbles their faces can no more
blush at Ieproo( than an alligator al the APP
preach OF fly and a hungry swine in gar
den OF cucumbers perseveres not 10 his pur-
pose with greater periIDacity. Our Trend
may have half dozen copies OF this paper,

no relief 10 fortnight, lac had beiler hand ~
the names of his plaques and we will hod
some corner in which 10 expose them, as a
caution TO others 10 beware Ut them. u this
will not do, he must act as in cases ct yellow

Another subscriber, in Coruhil, complains
of the texture and quality Of our paper, and
says thai he cannot lend it to more than ZEN
of bis neighbours before It IS worn out SO
that be is often obliged to buy an extra paper
TO carry home 10 his wife. This IS rather a
harder case than The former, and we shall con

With common I" country people"

Talks politicks, decides on wars,
Drinks rum and lives in fashion.
Tim Oxgouri, lately from the plough,
A polished gentleman is now
And talks Of country fellows
But ask the fop what books he's read,
You'll find the brain pan OF his head,
As empty as bellows.

And sings some tasty songs too
But my veracity impeach,
If she can tell what part ofspeech

Without one spark Of wit rehn'd,
Without one beauty ofthe mind,
Genius or education
Or family or fame TO boast,
To see such gentry rule the roast,
Turns patience TO yeXatlon.

Or cast your pearls before the swine,
