A Frenchman on Borrowing.

''The Borrower" A sketch by Aurelien
Scholl in L EUenement: ''The borrowing race
is the noble race. A native pride, an instinct
of sovereignty, are apparent in the attitude of
the borrower. He who lends is sad and
thong btful; the necessity of obedience is writ
ten on his brow Born to be useful and to be
used, he has in his aspect something humble
aHd forlorp, contrasted signally with the coz
slant good humor, the air of conquest, the ami
able audacity of him that shears him. To the
borrowing class belong all great kings, minis
tiers and women. From Acibiades, through
Cesar and Mirabeau the brilliant succession
descends to the last rulers of France, Spain and
Turkey. Health smiles on the borrower S
brow; his faith in Providence is firm, and is
careless of the lamentations OF stocks. Meuna
and tuuna, those sources of all human conten-
tons and miseries, are pleasantly COMPOUNDED
in his eyes. The present has no care for him
the future can have but little. The earth is his,
and the fulness thereof, and he has only to en-
ter upon his estates. Destroying vain distinc-
tions invented by legislators, the man who lives
by borrowing revives the original idea of COM
munity. He aloHe knows how to live; he is
the only aristocrat of the universe

regarding missing friends. Little satisfaction
Gamble given them. kilograms are also being
constantly received asking news of absent
