IiHAy'Nr TIME TO READ NEwsPAPERs'--Who
said that Don't all speak at once. Think a.
gain, sir? havoyou time to do any think else?
How long have you been busy that you have
had no time to read newspapers Since spring
cone in do you say Well then, just hold easy
for a few minutes, and learn what has TRANSFERRED
since you last had time to read. In the way OF
conRagrations: Pittsburgh leads off with the loss
Of nearly one-third Of its extent: Quebec two
thirds, New York with six or eight millions Of
dollars, Matanzas, Rochester, with more than con.
siderable besides innumerable smaller places to be
thrown in by way of change; but all this you've
heard Of. yes, no doubt, but you've paid no body
for the ners. Besides this, since you have had
time to read, the extent OF the United States has
been increased by an addition nearly or one.third
as large as ITSELF Principles of the Constitution
have been settled, whether in accordance with the
views of its trainers or not, we do not now say
which will have the mghiyest inAueuce on the
destiny of our nation.

ten characters on archment they are to be in
terpreted as the administrators of their prscepts
understand them, and precedent after all is the
great guide 10 their meaning. Thus the Annex
alton of Louisiana was seized as precedent for
the Annexation Of Texas: and thus the instru-

the North American continent is made to "extend
through all extent" III could "spread undivi-

time to read All yes. that's the mischief you
hav'n, had time 10 think either, have you' Yes,
you've had time to think, you could think while
abou, your work, that's it exactly, man that
has no time to read has nothing to think of. You
have enough to do to think of your work do you !?
What! are you IN any sense slave, compelled to
work at the V i'll of another? No your business
is your own, aud under your own control. Well
what do you think about your work What in-
hueLces are learning for good i'll, on its profit

which can either Cypress or promote 1t! Delve
! away at your business if you will and at the next
election go thoughlesslu to the polls and deposit
vote which may blow your prospects to atoms.
The very best way, no doubt for freemen to
perpeuate the blessings Of free government is
never to think, never TO read, aud never to Judge

to discover whether there are none hanging around
