"Thcre is man in our town,
And he is wondious wise;

Aud scratched out his eyes out."-PoP
The Colonel'S mill is slightly creased this week,
1t works somc smoother, but it still will crcak.
He breaches TO from n double text.
And trirs To make : think h- ain perplexed.
lis plainly seen, in his long string of trash,
That his demeauOr. or his caaba>h,
Has und' rwrut a favorable turn;
lie writes less harsh, hi- frown is not so stern;
Tries hard 10 raise a smile. hut nearly chokes,
And rage sticks up through all his silly jokes.
lie didn't thank us for that whiting prod,
And thought TO siienc. us by mere nod;
But we amt dead yet:" if we have to quake;
Tis agpe, not the Col, makes us shake.
The shakes the Argus gives Is are just fun,
But ague Kills up every mothers son
That doesn't drown himself, or what is worse
Take nauseous drugs enough To Kill = horse.
NcishtOr, It's a very useless task,
That you have undertaken. TO unmask,
And sft, and snayze us to the bone,
Where We, AS we'll as yuu 80 we'll known.
You say we have not 'driy'n you to the WALL,
We really had not thought Of that, at all;
1t seems that You have conncd the matter though,
A. If you calculated soon {, 20.
You say that we have brought you on this track,
Aud that we re irving now To shame you back;
Poor per,ish SOUL you know that isnt true,
And surely no one thought of that but y6u
We " shsned' you for the language that you used,
For hrni like epithets and slang mIsused
Eut If you can't admit that we are =" man.,
Nhy spend your time in railing Us? how can
tnthinking creatures understand your taikf
No cattle drover sings psalms to his stock
You say that into this affair you re led
Ey us, and YOU won't back; we'll 90 ahead,
Fall back and fire, nobody says you slaut
Let drive long a you please. and sure We can't
Blaine you for bravery by such zeal inspired;
For our part, we will quit when We get tired.
As far your vain bahbling is concerned,
And threat ming wondrous things unless We turned
T.. L.s fr,.,t mod
As you have wished and hntel, more than once,
Why, that would be II beauty of a 60,
" When We do this, we think We II let you know.
You re coaxns hard to get our Senior out;
You vince. in,inuate, and squirm about,
To rais' his ire, and mix him in the light,
As If you hated 70 be put tn Hight
By small and ugly in your eyes
A. MS. the Junior, whom you so dcspise.
Our Seniors had enough like you to fax.
And doesn't care cent for your sly wiaeks.
W. do not call on him {" give rs aid.
The jobs small that not afraid
To- go all alone, while he looks "D,
Minds his own business. and enjoys the FUN;
But you have called your whole ''catollc out
Go il. you halfhanis, We are still about
1t sticks out strongly, that you'd like to quit,
fut want us, monsiTous badly, to admit
That are backing down, instead 81 you,
But that does not exactly suit our view.
You say that we will find YOU re rough side out;
We don't dispute il. for YOUR rough throughout.
Your ruifian talk shows that you're rough within.
Your romghn.ss lies on both sides OF YOUR skiu
Your pas ion must L.. tuned mp very high
When trifes make you say you'll win or die
We really 10 not wish that you were dead,
But, you can not win, ust die ahead
Lpyuacous cossirs, we have Oft been told
For the last word will rip, and tear and scoid,
They seem to think the victory all lies
In 1t, and for II they will give Their eyes
Now, n.ighbor we don't want to see you die
For such small matters. therefore we viii Try
To hinder YOU from being absurd
To save your life well give you the last WORD.
