HE CLOTHIER,s SONG !

THE CLOTHIER'S 6ONGi
She comes she comes the Summer comes
O'er mountain and meadow now,
With sparkling dew on her fairy feet
And roses on her brow
And the trees put on their garments green
And the meads their vests Of gold,
To welcome her back 10 our gardens gay.-
That laugh at Winter old.
And shall not we, like the jOcund flowers
Put vcstments rare,
To meet the Summer we should mcef
A queen bright and fari
Yes we shall dress In slken sheen,
And 10 gossmer 80 hne,
And wen go FORTH nor feel oppressed
While the sunbeams on US shine.
Then let US to MAcuLLARs CO.
At the sign OF the Full Dressed Man,
And we shall find the robes,
That we could wish to don.
Five thousand vests ten thousand coats,
All striped, or in floral bloom
With sprigs Of the richest flowers woye,
With beauty, but with no perfume
The zephyr coat of brown mohalr
And Alpaca black wen find,
With the golden Nankin and Linen White,
And the Bingham stripe combined.
You may look, with lantern, far and wido
For place to suit you more,
But you meier be suited so well as at

Nr. SAxpExs:
Dear Sir:-I am not sur
prised that you have fallen into the same er.
ror ~ myself with regard to the view of the
Mississippi Bridge.
Irsfer to the fact that the engineer has
represented an angler as standing on a
"clump Of bushes in the foreground where
the city of Davenport really stsnds. This
representation objected to.
A little explanation, however, will remove
this objection from every reasonable and ed
uca.sd mind. It is always judged necessa-
~ BY artists to put some dark Swallowed OBJ
iect in the foreground, particularly where
the scene is on river. If par; of the
cityhad been drawn on the scene, il could
only have been part Of chimney stack. to
be in any proportion with the Bridge at .
distance.
Your idea that the angler 10 meant to rep
resent Mr.. L. Claire. and that he 10 drawing
the steamboat to land is happy allegory oil
the real fact that Mr.. Le Claire BY his
slime" Of conduct has succeeded in draw
ing the trade Of the river to Davenport.
Your article also contains another mad
ve-tent error. You say that the arts, has
been ike boy who drew SO poor repre-
sestetion OF horse that he had to write
usder it, .this 10 q horse!" deny tina,
nav case is parallel. have Lot writ
ten under the drawing, "this 10 a Mississip-
pi.Bridge." But "this is the..Misssissippi
Bridge connecting Davenport. Iowa with
Rock Island, H." meaning this point, III
Bridge point, not Bridge point.
As a picture makes a more lasting i'm
preston upon the mind, than description
the citizens interested in the progress Of
these cities have ordered few reams print
cd with the engraving on the front.
do not recolleet having seen any engra-
wing of any scenery published without lins
underneath or above stating what scenery
was presented. but if the citizens desire it
the engraving could be printed without any
description, and the citizens Of any other
town could put the name oftheir own place
underneath a. the great highway between
the Atlantic and the Pacific. In conclusion
would remark that as this engraving was
got up under the supervision Of the builders
and ~ith the approval Of the Chicago and
R.I.R. r. Co., and finished before the wri-
ter had seen any thing Of it, it is hardly
liberal to attack my publication SO virulent-
ly.
Hoping that you will give this comm uni.
cation en- insertion in your columns, so that
my defense as well, your charges may be
fairly scanned by the public,
remain yours,
without luminosity,
