Newspaper Borrowers.

In justice to many of our subscribers, rather
than interest we have in the matter, (although.
we confess We have some) we feel called upon
to say word or two in relation to this interes-
ting class of our citizens, who have in many in
stances become complete bores to some of our
subscribers by their regularly weekly importu-
mites. The annoyance in some cases is too
great to be borne, as these borrowers lie in wait
for the paper and seize upon it at its first appear.
ance and monopolize its use, to the discontinue
of the subscriber. 'llesri 36 s4rm
One instance of the kind we have long been
aware of. The borrower is man of property,
and is vastly better able to take the paper than
his poor neighbor over the way; but notwith-
standing this, he slips across and gets the paper
as soon the boy leaves it. SO that the subscri-
Der finds it at his neighbours store almost inva-
riably. ~
Several similar cases we could relate, but
will only allude to one, other gentleman who
holds the Times in such veneration as to Dor
row it eUery geek to read Sunday afternoon in
preference to attending church!
The expense of having the Times left at ones
house or place of business is mere trifle, and
besides. how much more independent and agree
able it is to have the reading of your own paper,
rather than to sneak into entries and about
store doors, sponging from yoar neiskbors in
loafer style, and hook the reading Of papers paid
for by others.
