A Love Letter.

Say, what shall he our sport today I" is efen
the cry Of the dler "Say, what shall be our leader
today 7" is often the cry of the ed'ter The block
ade of Mexico has become uresome-,heN North East
ern boundary is in statu quo-the Mayor won't ares,
the French Consul the charge Of abduction, or Sc
duction, or Paddy O'Raerty has it enticing two
men go wild him agin their will Canada ques-
ton is qulescent-thc city 10 healthy-the Indians
won't invade us 10 give matter for an arcle-the
steam ships won't arrive when we want them-in
fact we can't get any thing serious for leader and
so we'll have something comic And why rot ?
We've been serious long enough; and
.variety's the spice OF life
That gives / all It's favor"
love letter is matter that interests the whole
community for all have learned 10 love- either earlier
or later Ii is old saving that love letters will not
bear the inspection, 10 say nothing OF the criticisms
OF third persons and perhaps in ninety nine cases
out OF every hundred this is a correct remark. But
ridiculous they generally are, we DO not know that
we ever remember to have read so truly ridiculous
piece of writing as the following; and when we take
into account all the circumstances connected with it.
il would be great sin of omission not TO furnish it
10 our readers If answer no other good end, it will
serve TO shake the spleen from their sides and save
them dose of medicine.
The sublime and sentimental merchant who penned
II, came originally from Newport to New York-and
not beng quite smart enough TO make fortune here
he fell IN love with New York lady, and started for
Toledo in Michigan; here, it appears by his allusion
his success in business and by the of his tender
ePstle, he became SMART as Toledo blade; and
the latest bulletin about the state of his brain, body
and business, may be CLEANED from the following let
ter, which he indted to his dearest
TOLEDO, August l6,h 1888.
My DEAREST MARY,-O! Idol of my soul, love
you better and better every day. Oh! Mary you
are dearer 10 my heart than all this world. How
many times think of the happy hours we have spent

Now if Polly forges her Tommy after this ebsi-
ton OF sentiment sweetness, system and heroics'
why then she deserves TO be asked 10 wed, al
though, TO use Tommys classic phrase, she had as
lire as not" The going TO church is well put IN as

can support a wife now well as ever. Desperate
fellowl Tommy wouldn't change places with any
merchan, in Newport Not he! But probably the
boot is on the other leg! May be, the Newport mer-
chants would mt change places with Tommy. He
would like for her father to consent but then ne
won't ask unless she likes. ConsIderate Tommy!
As Jaha says in the "Hunchback,"
-"Oh! docilv lover,
Do hi. mlsress will ina, wes, sssins, his own"
From what he says about supporting wife, and
the probable Numerous little responsibilities contiR-

VIVA; he mcsus where he says, Kiss silly for
me" We can hardly comprehend unless II be that he
wishes Polly to kiss some representative of his in
New York For oar own parts. Il Mary is worth
