Mon AMIGO
fancy that, having met you in narrow alley,
and secured your attention by fastening u but
ton, may now discourse to you in my ram
bling and monopollzing style; and, that you, what
ever visions of male swine may fiji before your ina
gnaton, will check the restless tendencies 10 which
a situation so unenviabe may give rise, and submit
ting to an annoyance from which there is escape,
will quietly give heed 10 what have to say, touch
ing matters and things in this il-conditioned com
munity So listen bravely as becomes martyr.
Business is confoundedly dull, at least all our bu-
siness men say so and those who have no bushes
to attend to of their own, and consequently interest
themselves in the affairs of their neghbors, concur
IN and confirm the assertion. An elaborate inquiry
nto the causes OF this commercial stagnation would
take up too much time but think it may safely be
attributed TO the fact, that people have nothing
to do, nothing TO buy with, and nothing 10 sell.
There Is, however, prospect of better times; for
as soon as the benign operation OF the Bankrupt
law shall have worked out the Indebtedness of hun
dreds of our most respectable citizens and re-

claims upon the prompo purchase, but slow-to-pay

profession. There IL in the stock company OF this
Theatre scarcely one individual, from the head OF

its patronage bids fair, Judging from the past, to
keep but little in advance OF It's merits. There have
