the opposite direction, and the collision must
have been severe one, since both carriages

For SHANE, BoYs!-You, we mean, who on

colored mans eye with lump of ice, as he
was creeping painfully along, doubly bent

for the same spirit Of evil which prompted
such a cruel and unprovOked assault, will, if
unchecked, carry you by easy stages to the
gallows.
