a hint to Borrowers Of Newspapers.


The practice of borrowing newspapers, says the
Baltimore Federal Gazette, very annoying to sub.
scrbers and of course printers, has lately increas
ed to such degree as to be productive of serious
injury, aud to require that efficient means
should be used il practicable, to put stop it.
Several recent instances have occurred Zone yeser
day. OF subscribers to this Gazette ordering their
papers to be stopped for the sole purpose OF being
relieved from the daily annoyance OF borrowers who
are more curious than liberal.
To those persons who have so little regard for
proprety as 20 continue the practice after this no
tee of the injury which it causes shall not feel
ourselves bound to preserve any forbearance and we
suggest ii to brethren of the type. as proper
rule ol proceeding in which we should al! unite--to
procure and publish list OF borrowers of newspa
pers who never contribute any thing to the support
OF the publishers"
The Albany Microscope says, We have large
list of gerry profitable BORROWERS, respectable in
point of numbers if not otherwise" Many other
papers have made honor able menton, of this COM
mendable and economical mode of cheap reading.
We also have jus! cause OF corr plant on this sub,
ject. One OF our country subscribers informed US
few weeks since that he had thought OF dlsconn-
uhg his paper, as he was almost entirely deprived
of its by several OF his neighbos who were in the
constant habit of borrowing it. We have taken
measure to procure, and have the promise OF being
furnished with list of the names OF those high
minded patrons Of newspapers, which, should they
continue the practice they may rest assured shall in
due time be published at full length.

Repartee--Dr. Radcliffe, the celebrated phycian,
and Sir Godfrey Kneller, the no less celebrated
painter, possessed adjoining premises and for mu-
tual convenience they had opened door 10 the wall
which divided their gardens. Radclih's servants,
however, having done some mischief in Sir God
reys GARDEN the latter sent tell his friend that he
feared he should be under the absolute necessity of
brcking up the door 1t happened that Radcliffe
was in crusty humour when the message was
brought, and he returned for answer that Sir God

To WELD the sword of liberty,
And break the Despot's chains.
Arouse thy knighthood, one and all
When DER thy borders bursts the Gaul,
The head of Tyranny shall fall,
His gore enrich thy plains.
Then fear thee not the lived glance
That shoots from bayonct and lance

Before her destiny
The blaze will serve thee well to show
Where thou should'st ann the deadly blow,
That bears thy vengeance the foe

Fear not the red flag Gallia waves,
Fear not her hundred thousand slaves,
Thou'st soil enough TO find them graves;

When Freedom urges thy bold thrust,
The Tyrants shall be rolled in dust,
And all thy glory won.

FRANCE,


Land of the Lilly pause a while,
Ere fate has sealed thy fearful dnoms
Hast ere thou seen the frightful smile,
The dread forerunner of the tomb
The chained emotions Of the soul
May cease awhile TO warm the heart,
But yet they'll burst beyond control,
And whelm in one convulsive start.
The ra1ient daughter from above,
Oh holy freedoms lovely maid
Was seen within thy fragrant grove,
And gaily triPped around MY shade.
Thy son from slumber wondering springs
Away his king indignant spurns,
And round the maiden rudely clings,
With eyes that flame and heart that burns.
IT'S not the mad enthusiasts tllroe
That freedom loves shoiild her be given
Oh no tits mild affections glow,
Beneath calm reasons smiling heaven.
Thy sister nation now begins
To feel awakening f eedon's throb;
And will thou dare in all thy sins,
That newborn liberty to rob
The holy fame, though sometimes slow,
Is certain as the deep tides roll,
And who shall say il will not glow
Around the brave Castllian's soul 2 "a
oh canst thou think to shackle thought
AS if it were the crouchng slave
Go, have the radient rainbow caught,
Bind TO the rock the raging wave!

Ran once to butt the Spanish mountains down;
He made one fatal dash and aimed so true,
His diadem in fifty pieces few;
Then with mournful face he gazed around,
And not single fragment could be found

This is the rich reward of all my palms,
