How lonesome the fireside where
there is no newspaper! Ask the mail
who has had family newspaper to read
with the latest news, the good stories,
and useful lessons, and the witty ayings
OF the nawspapers-ask him its value.
Let him be deprived Of it for weeks, and
then ask him to put an estimate upon it.
Will he say that two or three dollars are
too much! No, no, he will esleem i,
one of his greatest treasures, and value
j. accordingly.
We were led to these reflections the
other day, by an Industrious, worthy
