In borrowing or lending men may often change their positions according Co the ups and downs of life. The bor' rcwer of to-day may be the lender of tomorrow. The lender of to-day bs-
 eomes borrower bye and bye By shis change of position the pleasure and pain of borrowing and lending are distributed pretty equally among men. lt is pleasant to borrow. painful to lend. In the first place. something is attained for nothng. which is tue highest aim of man in life The lender. in. the second place. puts forth withc t any return. and this is painful. To pay back tho borrower always finds against the grain. while tho lender is overjoyed to be repaid. Thus the great law of compensation shows itself even in this matter.
 The genuine borrowers a great one of the great race. never pays back. and. indeed. his superiority to the lender is 70 manifest that payment is not expect ed of him. The public look with ad- miraton upon these borrowers while therc is but little sympathy for the lender who 'igces brokc." He is 's chump." or peradventure. ''sucker." ]" The borrower would appear to be the broader man, the more trustful in hu- man nature. while the mere fact that . man can lend means he has been sell fish. He is regarded as the borrowers legitimate prey as punishment for his criminal cumulativenesa The borrower has the sublime effron- tery of superierity He swoops upon the lender for his tribute as the feudal barons came down upon the peasantry for theirs. Very little sympathy is wasted by the public upon the man who has beeu coniidenced. He has given unwillingly his lawful tribute to his surerio r--the borrower. The borrower represents. as Lamb said. one-half the communistic idea the idea of What's yours is nina" He as general thing. represents "Whats niins is my own. though, as . necessity, he must not hoard his loans, else will he sink to the level of . lcDder. Every man with his money has his affinity. who must borrow from him. The man who never lends is an anomaly in nature. The borrower is, as q general thing profigatc-a jol- iy. good-natnred fellow. The reverse of this is true. but the logic which says . man is borrower because . profli- gate is false. The brainy ones of tho earth have been borrowers; witness that old literary coterie in Grub street. that were always oscillating between -'fush' and '.broke." Goldsmith was either in state of seige by cred tors or slecked out in garments of various hues. Savage was either ''sitting them up all around" or else lying abed with his head through hole in . blanket. his clothes being 'in hook. !" Even Shakespeare was . borro wer. and Bacon, when not borrowing. was being bribed. And Micawber, rare Wilkins, how the world loves him as the borrower par exec Hence! Any man can earn money by working for il. but to borrow requires genius of the higher order. The borrowers preserve the nation. for they keep tho money iu circulation. n.--St. Louis Globe Dsnsocyck
