SMALL SOULS.

It pains us to wriac Of this class Of
beings, made and fsshioned afier mau' $

deeuing qualities that as4found 10 q
true and noble manhood. possessing
souls not larger than an average grain
Of mustard. Prominent among this
class of beings We might mention the
habitual borrower Of newspapcrs,-too
mean to pay for a paper of bis own,
he continually bores his whole souled
and liberal minded neighbor, who
knows the value of a newspaper, and
IS willing to pay for it. As a general

and at the same ti1is makes point of
borrowing said papers u every oppor-.
