The greatest pests I ever m-'et with, are newspaper borrowers, anvi they annoy me more than a little. I am a farmer whose cii c umstances in life are riot so gjod as many of my mare fortunate neighbors. I have a large family rising around me, who I am not .-only bound to support, hut also feel myself under a mural obligation, to give

them an education, and inform their minds on the uqj events of the times, and give them a knowledge of the ways of worl.J; and it is for that purpose I take your pa,,er say my family is large, ana it keep my exertions constant Jv cn the stretch hv honest industry, to provide for 'them a comfoi table living; consequently, I have en litile time to read your paper, except on Sundays or flights. A few Saturdays since, after having finished my week's work I went into mj house; and thought I would amuse and edify myself and children by reading the news. 1 took u refreshing drink of water to clear my throat a:id render .articulation more easy and distinct; and with my spectacles bestriding my nose, and an air of contentment, I Moated myrelf in my great armed chair, and asked my wife to hand me the last paper. "My Dear" says she, "our neighbor Sordid sent his son Tim to borrow the paper, and I lent il to him; under the promise that he would return it this evening for I knew that you would rather go without yoar supper than without your paper' I am not a man who is apt to fly in a passion about trifles; so I did not complain, but waited patiently, that evening ibr my paper but no paper came. The '.next morning I sent one of my children after if, and after waiting an hour I received the intelligence that Mr. Sordid had lent it to his neighbor Narrow-mind. This began to work on my irascihles; but receiving a gentle admonition from mv prudent wife, I restrained my temper. Determined, if possible, to have the benefit of the paper as weil as my neighbors, I sent my sou post-haste after it. But 1 again received the nczos that Mr. Laekwitt had been thro and requested permission to c tri v it home that hisdaughtcrs might tea.! the poetry of YViliebv Wild wood. My patience was now nearly exhausted, but thinking perhaps that as li'rs daughters were fond of poetry it might be an inducement for him to subscribe for the papers, and prevent him in future from being troublesome, I bore :thc disappointment with Christian fortitude Again I sent my son over to Mr. Lackwilt's with a polite request that, if his daughters had read all ot illebj's pot trv, and could conveniently spare it, I should feel mvselfevf n-mel v rrivitirifd. if I could have the pleasure of perusing it myself. -Hut Mr. Printer who can judge of my astonishrr.'i.t and i dignafion when my son returned with a vvoi'ul counten-

I would be Very happy to accommodate you; but1 "as I have to pay my money for the paper 1 should like to hive lhe benefit of it myself. But sir, as you are a near neighbor of mine I will gratify you this time; but the next time you go to town you must subscribe for yourself O sir says he, there is no necessity of me taking a paper, when yours will answer us both. Let us he neighborly. But neighbor, says I, as I wish my children to reap the advantages of the paper. 1 intend to keep them filed, and

am determined to prohibit my family from lending them for the future. So sir you may prov ide yourself w ith one Well sir, says he, but the times are so hard, and money so scorce that I leally am not able to take one. Pashaw, says I, you are more able to

take a paper than I am. Besides sir, you have a larire family of bos, who will soon launch out on the boisterous sea of life, and if is highly necessary that thev should know something about the ways of the world, nothing is better calculated to give them this knowledge than a well conducted newspaper; and your children will derive more benefit from il than they would from six month's schooling. So I contend that instead of increasing your expenses' it would tend in a great degree to abridge them I admit the correctness of your reasoning, but indeed, sir, I am too poor at present, to take the paper, so I bid you good dav. (Exeunt scratching his head.) Now, Mr. Printer, I am reduced to the necessity of either taking enough pa pers to supply my neighborhood, giving my own to them entirely or of offending th'-m by a downright refusal So you will please send me a dozen of your pa pers for the benefit of my rich neighbors until I give you iurtner directions. A SUBSCRIBER. From the Emporium. Head ivork and Heart work. Tle head and the heart often run strangely contrary to each other. I have been asked the reason why many men who are full of good sense maxims who t an talk about prudence by the day; .nd seem to be men of wisdom; act so directly contrary to their own theories, and by practices overturn all their precepts; and 1 can give a brief answ er to the question - That was head zi-orc this was hunt zcork. I will explain more full v. One of the first conclusions I arrived at on entering the world of business, was this my relation to society a5 one of its social members is such, as that il is important that I should retain the good opinion and friendship of every member of it, as far as I am able; to this end much forbearance, great evenness ot temper, and carefulness of conduct was necessary I adopted the reroiuiion to aim at such a course this zuas head zvorh. An occasional insult, frequent wrongs, repeated ill-treatment, overturned aii my resolutions. I resented, squabbled, sought redress and made some enemies this mas heart zcork. I determined in the outset to mind my own business; to sit down and be industrious and steady; to make my shop my home; it was head work again. Pleasure allured; fashion dazzled; my gay acquaintances persuaded; and I di vided my time between business and amusement, devoting far too large a share to the latter heart work again. Of all other lessons in the world, I wished to learn that of economy ; it teemed ol first importance; all important: 1 coin inced mvelf f this resolved and

re-resolved entrenched myself hehindwere in the middle of the pas-age, a logic, old maxims, and the fatherly ad-sma!l privateer, such as commonly in-

Another maxim for which I stood in - and laid it under my pilhur, determined imy triumph, a fair blue eyed nymph came in to the neighborhood and z Minds! I got married in less than sixi months; and my wife usurped the place! of my resolution. This was heart work. Then, .however, there was more occasion for head work than ever; for it was necessary to make things go smooth, to keep in a good humour, and in a cant phrase, to mind my P's and Qs. But I was passionate; I scolded according to my feelings, not by any rule or reasons; I still found as before that in every tilt between my heart and my head the former was sure to he victorious, and to overset all my logic at a single trial. It

might have been, perhaps it was somej

little consolation to look and see that others shared the same fate. I saw ma ny sensible young ladie, w hose beads taught them that modest) and humanity, kindness and virtue, were the pearls at , ter which ihev should seek to adorn ter vvoicii mev s.iouiu seek 10 auoi u themselves, caught in the snare their hearts laid for them; simpering before the mirror: showing otf at parlies, coquetting with beaux, and running the wheel of fashionable dissipation. 1 had a friend in ihe city, w ho was master of a good business, whose prospect? were promising, and who had began the world with high hopes and spirits. I saw him sending little poem to the printer; they were printed, praised, and at last somebody said, k,lhe author of these verses should put them in a les perishable form" should collect them: make a book!

An instance of murder, more awful than has hitherto blotted the criminal records of this country, happened at Newport Village, on Thursday, the 1st inst. Samuel Perry, a man of 50 years ef age, and vvell known as a merchant of that place, cut the throat of his wife, an aimable and much esteemed lady, (formerly MissLydia Reed, of Danube,) aged 35. The soul-destroy-ing habit of intcmpercnce,to which he had been addicted for many years, is believed to have been the incipient step, which long caused the greatest unhap piness in his family, and finally led to the awful catastrophe which has now taken place. The principal facts, so far as we have been able to collect them from the state merits of various persons in the vicinity, are as follows: ?iirs. Perry was prepar ing to iron clothes at a table when her husband rose from off his bed in the adjoining room, and coming partly behind tier, gave her a deep wound across hef neck with a large pocket knife her dying shrieks arrested the notice of a neighbor who was passing by, and who caught her in his arms as she was sinking to the door medical help was soon obtained, but the principal veins of the neck were severed by the deadly steel: the blood flowed profusely, and in a few minutes the unfortunate woman, expired !
