ayes, daddy, but Mr.. Neitherside is
reading one, and Mr.. Scrbelerus is laugh

was going to have published in the 'Mir-
ror,' and believe he has read it twenty
times over"
"Ths is provoking; wonder why they
don't take the papers themselves, and not
be troubling their neighbors."
"Why don't you take paper, daddy"
"Why-why--if l did never could get
a chance to see it. An impertinent set of

Cant get paper, daddy, Mr.. Liberal

from Mr.. Scribelerus, and Mr.. Dolittle is
looking over his shoulder while he reads
it, and he'll want it next"
"This is beyond all bearing, it is now
seven o'clock, and | suppose must wait
till after breakfast before | can get the
news, and who the ID (in riolent pas
Sion,J would give a sumarkee TO read a
newspaper after breakfast. Do you hear,
John, 60 again, John, and wait till one OF
the other OF the papers is out of the hands
Of these internal monopoliZers, and be
sure to catch it, John, and then tell Mr..
Liberal that ] will return it instantly, do
you hear, john"
"Yes, daddy" (Erit.) (Ehter Seallo,o.)
"Good morning, neighbor Eagernoos-

"New! fire and faggots, | have sent a
dozen times to Liberal there, to request
the loan of his paper, only for moment,
and he has the impertlnence to refuse me-"
"RefuSe you?"
"Not exactly refuse me, but he permits
such fellows as Longwind, Neitherside,
Scribelerus, g. Newsmonger, to pour over
them for hours, not only (through msta-
ken courtesy,) depriving himself, but his
neighbors, from getting early intelligence
Of what is passing i'll the world"

don't leave it at my house any more, cause
| hackelled about the price, and woodn't
pay him."
"Tbat's good reason for the psinter, if
it is none for you. Well, John, did you
get the paper?"
"No, daddy, just as that Mr.. Netherside
was done, in come Mr.. H0okit and Mr..
Nabit, and come back"
"Confound my i'll luck!--go back, do

you hear? any of the last weeks papers,
do you hear?"
"Yes, daddy"

to subscribe for newspaper: will not
be so pestered with the trouble of borrow
ing from accommodating neighbors."
"You are right, Mr.. Eagsrnoos, the
printers only ak five dollars right down,
and then you have whole year to pay
t'other five dollars in, and then you can
dispute the bill, and they will send the
.noosepaper three months after that, afore
i, is settled--them folks what brings the
paper always throws it where it was taken,
never thinking that the subscriber is done
over"
"IIere comes John--wcll, John, have
you got the paper?"
"No, daddy, the neighbors borrowed all
the old papers, and Mrs. Parrot sent TO get
the mornings papers as soon as they were
done with"
"The ID she did--then may hang
up my fiddle till sundown, for when she
begins to read It's from alpha to omega.
Give me my hat John. Never mind break
