WcRsHEPFULL EDIToRs Know ye that /, !
heretofore known to you as "Sephuss,'' am no
more Seephuss," but HlSh-Fuss" Having
been truly converted from the error of my for
mer Bol0ticks, do make this, my decietfull ac- |
acknowledgement, to his Graceless Majesty, Char
ley de Baker, that his deluminatory communi-
cations hath fully convinced me that the Maine
Law OF Prohibition is the course to aristocracy,
ana TO obtain great name in the earth. Who,
IN all the world, would not wish to have great
name among the wise and prudent 1t is
always expected for young converts, when
ABOUT TO JOIN new class, to give some relation
Oh their experience. Know ye, then, most
graceless SLAYER De Baker, that your exquisit
erudltlon hath not been without effcct-vour
spelling and diction is so very good-your
scientific clinical calculations, is also first rate:
but those, think, had seen long before vour
papa quit laceing your jacket. But your glumi-
nauous spirit must ave open'd my optics to a
discovery of the real no sence of them. Before
proccde farther-yOu have no objection to my
assuming new name; as you have changed
your locality to Rose Bug, please let me have
the tItle Of Hush-FusS.
Although | am yet awkward ia spelling, |
;
discover am your peculiar friendless Alter
y'ur scientiiicate calculation, you say Secphuss
would make you believe that those liquors are
lot injurious to animal organisation. Well,
now, Sephuss was bad man, but do not think
he ever did say 1t was not rong, wicked and in
Jur!OuS, tor men to drink to excess. | wonder
what Old Meredith would say on the subject -
Aud, as he is at hand, will ask him: - What
say you, old dad, on this subject - "Me-I
say, Ii men had not wicked, covetous hearts.
decietiull and desperately wicked, they would
never drink to excess ami say that your Heart
and your friend, the Bakers heart, are no better
by nature than other mems hearts, and if YOU
trust III them you are denomlnated fools BY God'c
blessed word"
ii. F." Stop, old man; you arc begirng to
see fuss again, ana bring that I'D bGok OF Moses
and Jesus on us. We want new laws for these
sclentlhcate days-such as never was ei forced
on any people before Neal Dow's dav. unless
our friend Mahomet made them his statutes.-
But DO you not see, Old Fuss, that our praceless
SLAYER, DE Baker, Is young Washngtuni0n
lie saleth Washington saved his country from
the usurpatlOn and tyranny of England, and he
and company intend to save the liborng class,
the bone and snew of our land, from the tyran-
ny of Rum alias Alcohol, b. our gra eel, ss pro-
hlbatory law. You know that many OF the In.
bourlng class will have their quart every Satur-
day night, when it is kept for sale at almost
every corner; and we intend to stop from such
netaricus practice. They must not have il
unless they get sick"
NJ" A moment if you please. That re-
minds me of tire Dutchman who signed the
pledge; he got sick, applied to the doctor for
advice, Doctor said he must have one ounce OF
brandy every day; the Dutchman looked over
his arithmatic, found EIGHT drains make one
ounce. He said, dat was de pledge for him
used to get tree drains now get eight" "
ii. F." Away with your puns, Old Fuss, we
do not intend to Danish 1t entirely from the land
lit must Re kept IN all the cities, boroughs and
county towns, at least, for medicinal and me-
chanIcal purposes; and every body that isab1e
to pay dOcter for his advice, a small fee. can
get 1t for medicine; and all that can pay master
mechanics for a certificate, can get it for me.
chanlcal purposes; and you know that pie.
makers are mechanics, and frst-rate mechanics
too, so that We, the sclentifcate, can have lust
as good mlnce pies as ever we had. And, YOU
know, the poor abouring class-the bone and
slnew of our land-seldom make mince pie O,
plumb pudlng. 'Ham and potatoes is more
than many OF them can get once IA week. Be
; side you discover another peculiar advantage il
dish scheme. The doctors will get more fee:
the master mechanics will be benefited, anC
the poor rag mullins will not have SO mucl
money to pay out for liquor, with those, worse
than highway rumsellers. What sa,

" say, 1t is an admirable way to grind tht
faces of the poor; make the poor poorer, ant
the rich richer, if that be your scheme"
ii. F." o, my graceless SLAYER, C. de Baker
Old Fuss is becoming more moderate Indeed
| fear your graceless magesty has had too bar
an opinion of old NJ. You seen him with hi
ID. }. and imagined he could not handle that de.
mon without being after kissing him. Old M
saieth, you put him in mind of an Cnicdote h,
learned when boy. A certain young SUDDEN
went with his boss one day to see a pa tient VIII,
they found quite i'll. After the old Eoctor hac
examined the patient little while, he said I,
him, "yOu have been eating oysters,"-well
; he had eat few-"yOu must not eat an,
mere" After they had departed, the studen
said to his tutor, how in the world did vol
know the patient had been eating oysters ~
"Because," said he, /" saw the shells unde
the bed" Next day the old physician, by som,
means, could not go to his patient, but send
his student. On his return, tutor ask
: ed how the patient was. .Ahr' said S.. itt
gone goose with him, sir" "Whyr' ex
claimed the tutor. "Why, sir, he hath eat ,
5 horse" :" He hath eat a horsel" 1Yes, sin, :
said student. How do you know that % sal,
old Doc. "How do know it--I saw the sad
die and bride under the bed -
