0oid Sfecs 10 q young mani Tame does MOI say
where he was born-though nature has gifted him
with dialect that his falhess cesntry cannot be
mistaken, for the son is endowed with true Miesian
name and ogae. The above yoang gentleman must
be handled light. l will use the pen with all the de-
licacy the task is deserving of and paint the portrait
and use The nsel with care, and sci nothing down
! aught in malice" This young gentleman is a dc.
scendant of the 80 Ballagans," of Munster, in the
northern part OF Ireland our heros father emlgratsd
10 this country the year of our Lord one Thousand
eight hundred and -; he embarked IN the lea
Their business IN the nelghborhood OF the Swamp"
In his business ne was Fortunate and IA few years
ne realized handsome fortune.
Well, reader, the hero of this sketch 10 Corny,
Inc eldest son OF the aboveworlhy man; nc has no am
blton to copy from his worthy father IN bis business
ability for he does not possess any his only wish Is
TO follow the tricky paths of fashion. Our nero can
be seen on the Sabbath deeked in costly robes, with
gold specs-gold specs! gentle reader on the top of
MS hose-lhlngs that his father never wore; ne be-
longs to- the class of fashionable young men ne
graces rae boxes of our theatres with fair by
his sde--every and then touching those specs
running lbs fingers through his well oiled hair ixlng
ms starchrd collar up 10 his ears-hs innocent look
and youthful appearance, and Ooekneylsh air draws
a laugh from the most melancholy person. Hs is al
50 an asplrant IN the politics OF our country; he adj
dresses the Demoidts of the Seventh Ward IN truly
passionate, forensic, and pat riotic eloquene0; in
TRUTH he has not had an equal since the days OF De-
mosthcnes; the more modern orator, Patrick Henry,
was a fool 10 him the adopted citizens of the Sc
venlh Ward swear by st. Patrick, that TamHany
Kali must give him nomination 10 Congress, for he
10 the only representative they have now, barring the
eloquent DR.. Christopher Goldfish Columbus and is
whispered that the Doctor has gone 10 the wings,
horse, srrups, ana all. "He a renegade irons the
ranks OF the democracy ,ehurTo Uharra. o. my
countrymsn" Such IS the eloquent strain Of the he
70 of our graphic sketch-the SAID Doctor being in The
ranks OF our 0ppenens we must make ST. Tamma-
ny study her interest, by giving our hero nomna-
ton, or his fathers counrymen will kick, stand
alott from the fight, or run him stump. o. Mr.. Ed.

splendid eloquence this youthful prodigy dlsp aged

ing money towards the building of the said church
when its funds were very low. The thing was pre-

SAID weekly paper, whose Editor had the luck, as
he always has, of being in every place where adml
lance is gratis. The delivery was published the
above paper, with editorial article upon the pre-
senanOn, with the Rev gearemans speech in the
next weeks paper " We gods and little ishes"--I
was surprised Observation-Disclosures d-anni-

The editor actually has couple of columns filled

ceving IL he looked like sheep being hauled up
TO the butchers bock-the only difference between
them being, that one has gold specs upon his we'll
rubbed and soapy looking vsage. In fact, per-
feet humbugeery from first To last-and il was un-
n holding N tall
young man to the rdicue and laughter OF his hos af
friends. This yeung man belongs to a clique, and
few Of them have graced your columns in the
Sketches of LouHgers aud none are more deserving
place IN your columns than the present one as one
OF the humbugs Of the day-a shallow, ignorant
young man, with money only TO put him forward
wrHng from the earnings Of hard working father
flirting around places that no respectable young man
would be seen a-a person thinking he has talents,
but possessed Of none unknown-a mere youth q
devotee at the shrine Of that willy thing, fashion,
When zee young man putting himself forward
endowed only with the above recommendations
thrustng himself forward in the company Of men
who have children Of his own age, addressing them
in schoolboy slang, and brazen face and gold
specs 10 get hin through not waiting 10 bud from
youth into mans age. Ii is a sacred right Of his
parents 10 counsel him 10 desst Ii the hayward
boy sets their commands AZ nought-though the Ian
guage used IN the address Of the Rev. gentleman
would make person believe that he knew the CON-
mandnents-oRe is, Honor thy father and mother
him, nay, order him 10 deslst from persevering in
his childish and youthful propensity.
There are friends OF his family that would advise
him TO desst, and save them the modification OF a
friends son hcing Laughed at by public meeting
An editor deserves tho execraiion of every sensible
man, Tor helping through the columns of hs paper
by pralsing a person for his talents and oratoreal
powers when he is void Of all-that said editor well
knows u. Some would lay at the door of the hero
Of this SKETCH that he is mad For hrs sake, as his
friend hope il is not so-bu II 10 So his friends
should look TO him before II is too ate-fsr IL he con
tnues longer in his maynard course of HE ne will
before long be an inmate Of a madman's celia
maniac
With these few words of advice to the friends of
the young man, (which | give gratis) close this
sketch of youths waywareness, "more in sorrow
than in anger;" and in my next may give sketch
of one which no doubt will be amusing 10 your a,i-
merous and intellectual array of readers.
