On BOARD THE Two PoLLIEs,

10 tie Editors ofihc NJ Y. Daily Express
GENTLEMEN i thank you for sendin m
the papers regularly but hant had time Il
write to you now for some time.
believe my last letter telpd you about III,
condition of Uncle Sam and his buttons, bu
am not sarin.
| have now the satisfaction to tell you, -ant
you may tell it 10 all creation.-tha the "Twc
Pollics" is Gfoat, and this is nigh upon Tho
way it came about. Some weeks ago GOT q
lettc. from uncle Joshua, tellin inc TO keep
sharp lookout the tides along about In,
beginnin of November, they had had !
plagy high one down there in Mainc,- ane
shortly before that there was a considerable
rise in Rhode Island, and it ould sartiny be
the same all along ShOre-and acoordin to hi:
kalkalalion, there would be real r0user alon
by York state some where about the middle Of
this monh--and that if | ever expected 10 gil
the "Two Pollies" oil, this was the time tc
keep u sharp look out, for Congress had done
nohln 10 help at the last session, and mi hi
not at the next. And sure emf, on The 9Th
just at sunrise, it began 10 rise, and every fol-
lowin tide kept goin !eetle beyond the last
one; and by shutdown Of the 9Th" the giort.
Gus SM Norcmber"-tbe Two Polies began
TO III out OF the sand, and roland to rights
up she come on an even keel and swung off TO
her anker, which had been run out into deep
water.
The next mornn the folks begun TO gather
along shore, and cvry livin critlur who could
git off, all come on board-and SIGH a time as
we had there for spell, | kaIkate hant been
seen for many day on board vessel, sound
as ever in her hull, but wantn spars sails and
risgr. My old friend Zeku Bigeioio, was a.
mong the visitors, and nothin would do but
he must deliver an address TO the folks-and
he Is yon know, complete hand at that-and
so up he got on the wndlass, and did pore it
cul there for about half an hour, most awful
Lie stood like a teapot, one arm akmbo and
other spouttng and slch stream! there was
no gitlin by it. He thanked everybody and
frerything, that he had any hand in getting the
Two Pollles of shorc-he said the same caus-
es would lift more folks out of the mud than
we had any notion on-ior that the Two Pol
lies was not the only object that had been run
on shore by the wickeGnoss, and the ignorance
and sefshncss OF some folks, and when he
come 10 speak Of them folks, and tell hoic and
'ohy all this trouble had been brought on The
country entirely by their ioickedneSS, their fg-
norance, and their toIfuinesS, he Just took up
his swll tub and emplicd The hull scrape ont
right over en-. never in my born days heuIn
the like.
AFTER this address was over, we all gave
''ihr C times three" good hearty cheers, and
the Two Pollles, she rolled from side 10 side
like good na'ured Laughter, first one scupper
IN and tlen lolher, lust as though she was ia
kin part in the fun and which She had RIGHT
10 do.
The Two Poes, asI said aforc, is sound in
her hull, and all her ground tackle is as rood
ever: bnt she wants reft,in. and as vet | am
a leetle ppuzz!cd TO know which pori 10 carry
her 10 for an outfit. Same think She ouoht ,o
