lopcconiinued happiness which love and fortune and
moral excellence can give in this life.

wherefore we are short of editorial this week. The
Editor is visit to the Springs but before leaving
appears he addressed the annexed note to Imp

hope you will fill the chair Editorial, in my place, for

To which the " Imp" who is at present confined to

Mr.. FoREMAN-Dear Sir: am exceedingly graft.
fled to inform you that i feel quite ambiguous this
morning-hope TO be we'll in few DAYS. You will
perceive from the above that my friend, the Colonel
desires me illustrate his department. this issue in my
usus&brilliant and happy manner; but owing to a
dull heavy indisposon with which have been pc.
cuar afflicted for some time, / am altogether inca
pacitated for the burdensome task And moreover, Mr.
FOREMAN, don't care much about writing and never
get any thanks for it. Why, Sir, the Colonel, when
wrote for him last year, whilst he was luInriatng in
Columbia, never brought me solitary thing as a
present. No, not even copy of Che "Gamester's
Own Book" pocket pistol, bunch OF segars, a
