The charms OF newspaper reading to the intelli-
gent citizen farmer, who values the instruction of
himself and his family constitute the relish of the
week. and furnish abundance of profitable reflection
and conversation. If lie is patriot, he cannot be
insensiole TO the welfare of his counry-If he is a
Phanthropist, he fells concern for his fellow men,
however dstant,-lf he is father, he loses no op-
portunity to instruct his children and cannot but
view the passing tidngs of the times as a most es-
sential part of their education. Though he may be
distant from the opolis-though secluded from
society, he can know all that is necessary to the
known of the pomp and hustle of city life.
by close attention to the diversified columns of
newspapers we are enabled to catch manners liv-

marches of armies and fate Of natons-and in an
other the humble advertisement of the humble deal

est, from the hoary sages to the sping school boy.
The man who can't find time, to read one pa
per during the week, must be truly slave to igno-
rance poverty. The truth is, however, this is an
excuse for Incidence and parsimony, and thus whole
families are deprived o: information points which
afford one half the conversation of society. They
content to borrow ideas from their neghbors :;

Her burning eye must own,
Her heart may be another's still
She may love more than one.
