them to it, and rather than retaliate, they

them on n reserve.

a very clever fellow, rs its editor, we have
no doubt of its success, in a pecuniary
point Of view. The fncetious editor re.
marks, in regard to new subscribers:-
Although our amiability of disposition
and benevolence of character are subjects
of universal commentator, we would re-
mind our friends that we wan, no names
sent unless the ready money accompanies
them, for our desire to do good to others
will not permit us to ruin ourselves, by

That is the true doctrine, brother Ro.

ver,isers would fork over the change, there
would not be so many half-starved, poor,
