"A Kind 50 GOOD IBVes1
We regret 10 learn from her last paper, that
our fair neighbor Of the Wing is going to leave
as, and take . several weeks" rip to the
Worlds Fair. But she has promised to let
those she leaves behind" hear from her often,
which will be very nice indeed No doubt We
shall have another soliloquy from steamboat
BIRTH" similar to the one the readers of the
Wing were favored with last winter, from the
steamer Stacy" Then, we shall hear all about
the progress Of "Wonsan's Rights" Our neigh
Dor, like Gen. Rueben Davis, is determined to be
the representative from the State at large. Well,
the people of Mississippi viii be "largely rep
resented" won't they? But we are sorry that
our representative cannot part even with an
pleasant people without
Sort of unexp xpressed concern"
But, dear neighbor, why do you slash our
" Junior" SO, just before starting on this " long
journey p Perhaps you are like certain old
deacon we once knew, who, very desirous that
they should be considered "piouS," used to fog
all his sons every Sunday me rning to give them
sober look for the day, so that the preacher
who generally went home from I" meeting" with
the old man, would think the boys We're ser-
ously concerned about their souls" Like this
old deacon, perhaps our fair neighbor expects to
bring the preacher home"-end wishes the bows
to appear concerned! Well mother, if you will
only bring us a stick of candy, or a ginger cake,
we will promise, when you come home, to app
pear very much :" concerned" If you will go
and see Gen. Pierce, perhaps he will give you a
cent to buy the candy with-if he shouldn't
faint" Bat you mustn't tell the President
what you said about him last summer: nor that
you published scurrilous history of his life
BY the way, speaking of history puts US in mind
of something you said about our 'Junior's" ig
norance of the 8. Past History" But before we
talk about " History" Ignorance" "swell
head - &c, allow US TO ask you how long you
have possessed the sagacity" to discover
who writes particular articles in the Democrat
II has not been long since you got pi ked up,
on that hook Oh, we know how you guessed
so well this time-the Senior being absent, OF
course the junior" must have written them.
Nell, the "junior" will father them--so we will
return to the Past. We hardly know what to say
in answer to our neighbor, about this pubica-
ton" Past History"-but must acknowledge
we have read great deal of history Why, Just
think, we have read nearly all of the first vol
unle of Robinson Cruso--don't you remember
| how he cast on the desolate shore" Of the
island of Joan Furd:nan Dez-or some sucI
name--where no body lived Then we have
read about Alexander the Great Don't YOU re.
collect how History tells about his crossing the
! Alps on his way to Turkey !-wasn't il ? Where
was Columbus when America was discovered ?
Where was Greece and Rome ia the time of the
Revolution And where was Gen. Jackson
when The British invaded New Orleans? Oh,
don't say that we are ignorant off, Pasl-stop.
! by jim, we lave before said, we don't recol-
lect about the Past" nation, nor its history
! Neighbor won't you loan us your copy of this
= History while you are gone this summer p
| If you will we will read it all through provi-
ded it isn't bigger than Uncle Toms Cabin -
Because. if it is, we don't believe our head will
hold il ali. without bursting You know how
"swelled" it is n6w-end all from taking in IN
Gle Toms Cabin If Uncle TENS Cabin swells
every body's head like it did ours. there must be
great many swell heads" in the world
Neighbor if you hav'nt read this book, we would
advise you not 10 touch it, for you never can
squeeze it all into your head with what you have
got there now, without cracking 1t all to pieces
Well, dear-neighboT, as you are about
starting on that 8 long Journey" we will be brief
but We have much that we should like to say
You think we must be "a happy fellow" Oh
you don't know al! our :roubles--we happy! No,
of all creatures. the most miserable Yet there
is but one thing wanting 10 complete our happi-
ness-Oh, cruel Afton
But it's too late now-it's no use TO tell what
we feel--if had known sooner--ss hope
| long deferred"-but alas the last ray of hope
has fled the last beam of lingering light is about
to be shut out forever! All that we can now
say, is, a kind good bye"-AN AFFEcTIoNATE
FAREWELL!
P. S. DEAR neighbor, will you be so kind as
to say nothing about what we have said above :?
You know it would ruin our prospects among
