Some oDe has somewhere in this great city e,tab


lifhed boarding house upon the principles novel
one, certainly, i'll such eDterpIises-of chargiog or
of protesting to charge, the inmates only the exact
cos. Of their maintenance. The enterprise has not
made very thunderous Ioiso here; but it has de-
cidedy disturbed the equilibrium Of the managers
Of Tbs Courier, which is printed 10 Boston, in the
I State Of Massachusetts. Those gentlemen are
doubtless men Of large meas, with two clOsks and
everything handsome about them. Their weekly
bills are, we presume, great in Themselves, but
ANAL in comparison with the means provided for
meeting them. These ornaments Of journalism are,
questionless, sturdy housenoders, to whom dis
bursement is easy-fortunate creatures, who never
encountered the frown Of lardlsdy, who never
shook over weak Bohes, and who never sbuddered
over strong butter. They not only cannot under
stand WHY there ,hould be cheap boarding houses
but they are amazed to find that there should be
any need of boarding. houses at all. We ara very
happy to find them thus buried, 80 to speak, in
clover The only compensation for their infinite
felicity is the difficulty which they experience in
seeing ono inch beyond their noses. If they have
waxed fat, they have also acquired propensity for
kicking and for kicking to tho right and left, without
much regard for the object Of their vibrations.
Their denunciations, therefore, are rather promis-
cuous, and their concentrations more erratc than
logical They discover, In abort, that all things
are alike which they do not like, and that there is
an occult connection between your political your
socisl, your moral and your detetca heresy. It's
either the good or the i'll fortune Of such gentlemen
wrapped up as they are in messufeless content
which nanifests itself in equally unlimited dis
content, to see nothing outside the circle Of
their own piDguitude which is lovely and Of good
report. All within is bissful, and all beyond is
bsrbarous. They find al odd sort Of complacen,y
in this. AZ they, being right upon one point, must
be right in ell, 90 the i'll starred person who is
wrorg upon one poIlt must be wrong in all. Hepcs

nent Of the Nebraska bill, we have one who would
rob his reighbor and run away with bis neighbor's
wife. This superb logic, of course, leads Tie
Courier to take low and desparing views Of the
present and OF the future. Its passion for aegre
