having on the wedding garment a coat
with no buttons behind. This was too
much for a wealthy old Shareholder pres
ent, who arose with many sighs and the
sad countenance' of a Pharisee, and
said his pious feelings were much wound
ed, and his comfort at the love feast de-
stroyed, by the buttons OF the brothers
coat. The old gray headed Elder arose
and said to hin, | see not how you can
swallow down three hundred niggers, and
yet get choked with a couple of buttons |

Gentlemen-In your paper Of Monday
last Is a small article headed The Wheat
and Corn Crops Now as economy is
the order of the day, | advise you to get
this same corn crop article tit is onlyfour-
teen lines) put in s~tereolype-it will save
; you the trouble of again setting it in type
l for May. l84l !; aye, and it may be kept
: in the office, as a standing article, for your
l children's children's children, to the fifth
and sixth generations; for as sure as the
month Of May comes round have l seen
this same corn crop article, with a very
, few words of alteration, in your and other
papers for the last forty years just passed.
= Now, Messrs. Printers, this thing is sure
Nv sent forth by a combination of story
: ~tellers, who have laid their heads together
:, to raise the price of -four twelve and a
i half or twenty-five cents per barrel. Per-
haps never at the same season of the year
was the prospect better. the broad sur
face of Long Island looks like a field
which the Lord hath blessed the hills
:. are covered with hocks, and the valleys
with corn the creeks teeming with fish
= and the woods with fowl-they shout fol
Joy, they also sing.
BY the by, Mr.. Typesetter, as you
must have seen all this on Saturday, whel
r.. riding to Hicksviile, | wondered on Mon
rs. day how you could stick in such a scur
d Wv, unthankful, fourteen line article, an
nj it a leading article too. l was wonderin
ire and Remembering, (hoeing China corn a
NJ. the time though.) AT last | made tt
ed conclusion that as you never before roo
bic on the rails in company with Arabs, yo
yht might be so absorbed in contemplate
.ci- the chronology of their round heads, ar
in defining the lineamenls of their brow
: a hides, that you had no eye at that tin
ru- for natures widest grandeur. L.
