gives the following exsmple: " On

tempted him, that after w'utfa'ly eye

rule he had imposed 00 himself, he
left it ia the dish, desiring his servant
to let the capon be kept till the next
day, when his month would be out."

to advance him any far h-r aum, at

at one of thote establishment! in
which he had lost all of his money,
he heard a coach stop before his lodg

rostageA the question appears to
be agitated in Congress, and in differ
cnt parts of the Union, relative to the
disposal of the funds, when the Na
tional Debt is discharged, why would
it not be good policy to relieve the
people of a heavy tax, by leaaening
the postage on letters and newspapers.
Letter postage, although. rated raiher
high, can atill be endured the major
part of letters being, it is believed,
received by men of business, presum
ed able to encounter the expense. It
is the oewapaper pottage of which we
moat complain, and which we consid
er ought to be reduced at least oni

country than in cities, and the whole
burden eventually falls on the printers.

made without materially affecting our
