Mister Editor. ted you how 'twould be-
knew twould be so. I'm as good profit as Kur-
nil Fremont's teacher was, when he writ it down
an black and on white, several years ago, that the
Kurnl was goin to be what the gal wished she
was, "the president of these United Stats" so
that she could lick melassis and swing upon the
gaits kurnil Fremont won't lick meassis but
if he don't lick every thing else, and every 5odg
else, twill be bekoz they Kant be licked. And
moren that If SIGH mirakel should happen as
that Mr.. Bewkannon should lick him. l kan tel
yer that he'll be like the boys knoze-that
. wouldn't stay bowed" No, Kurnil Fremont
never stay licked, no more than gineral Taylur
would, when Sanity Amy drive him back acrost
one of them ravines at Beweny Visty
But I'm not stiekin to my text 1 teld YOU
that my Rozy would walk up one mornin and find
himself Janus. Wall, when my Daily Spy kun
that had Hozy's varses in, l folded it so the
varSes was up and laid it on the kitchin table,
WHARF he'd see it the fust thing when he kun
down IN the mornin,-for he oilers goes strait tn
that table tn git krust of brown bred. In the
mornin, when l heerd his kow hide boots comm
like tew trip hammers down the stairs looked
through the krack of my bedroom door to
see him. He KUN into the kitchin and went
strait tn the table, as knew he wood He'd got
a big krust between his teeth, when his ewes lit
on the varses, and on his name Printed Just as
writ it. Mr.. Editurs, did you ever see kali
knocked on the head Eff yu never did, do
wish you could have seen my hozy at that min
nit His Tor fell, and the Krust of bred dront
into pan of milk. He stood Jest as stock still
as the statew of the oppoler belvydears, in the
vatty kan, as the piller of salt that was nanny
taetered from the raw material belongn to Lot.
His face, at fust, WOE not Face-'twas little
pale. Then twas q crate daal pale and
didn't kno but he'd faint-as one of our Ginerals
did in mecksiko. Then it begun to kuller, and
was like Summers CRATE speech twas red all
over.
Mr.. Editor, my son huzzy's face was redder
than any maple leef, after hard rost that WI
ever see. thort he was goin to hav stroke Of
apperplexy, and begun to put my pantyloons,
expectin to hav to go arter the doctor-tho
knew very well that it was probbyble that the
doctor would sarve him as he did Rosy Lee, and
'make him wuss." Mr.. editur, my doctor is
Homer Pathick, NJ. D., maker of Ded men. He
is brother to Hyder Patrick, who is near akin to
Hyder All-i; and from the fakt of being IL eve
follows akkordin tn the logik of Mr.. Hedge and
the matthew-mattocks of Yewklid, the nessisary
sequens of no branes.
Wall, hozy didn't kun to the brekfust table
that mornin. arter he seed the varses although
we had fride unyuns which he likes konsarnedly,
-better'n folks say he does. Thankful Bellows,
the blacksmiths dawter, by CRATE site, tho they
du say that that is blowd tn a konsideIabel fame.
He didn't speak tn me for several hours but
seed him walkin about, with his arms folded, and
his he'd leetle higher than ordnerry; and when
the nsburs boys and gals went by, tn skool, he
turned up his knoze and woodn't speak to EN-
Hozy didn't have to turn his knoze much tn
place 1t up, as yu will perseve when / send you

regular slant, both ways; slant of 45d upward,
tn the roots Of his hare. and slant of 45d down

| of his reck with his chin. And his knoze has

Mister editurs, teld yu I kan see that brass
kokeril on the top of your meetin house steeple
It's in strait line with my observatory; and that
line lodges between them big hills, Wichusett
and Bumskit, missin them both Wall, at sun
rise, precisely, on the 4th of july set down tn
my teliskoap and turned it that way and there
the kokkeril was, broadside towards me- big as
life, but all alone, jst I've watched him there
these five and thirty years. o, mr.. Editors eff
that kokkeril olny kOOd know, I'd vote for him
as United States Senator. He has a backbone
that never bends. And, as | was looking, he
turned and looked into my teleskoap long
time, star in me rite in the face. And he wasn't
bit afeard; he never winkt, nor blinkt, nor look
ed the least bit kowed Isn't that the stuff for
United States Senator ? Wall, l wateht the kok-
keril tew houIs, but nobody kun up there tn sing
my hozy's song. l expect yu koodn't find any
body tn undertake the job.
But IL tell you what kuInil Fremont wood hav
done. eff he had been in Wooster and the song
hadn't ben about himself He'd a taken one
eend of a rope, and kimed rite up that are stee-
pie, jest as he did up the rocky mountngs When
he'd got astraddle of the kokkeril, he'd hauled
up by the rope, the chimbley of locomotiv en-
CINE, for speakin trumpet; and when he ID sung
one varse through that, if he found that he wasn't
heeTd quite tu Royilston, Ashburnham, South
bridg, and Mendun, in the four korners of the
kounty, he'd gin one awlmity yell, and split
himself all tu peeces, and regelarly ewaperated.
He neverd shown himself in this airth, agin
That's the way Fremont does things That's the
quality of his spunk. And eff he had hen heerd
all over the kounty, hed sung the song out
Then he'd tried to make the brass kokkeril
krow; and he'd tried more ways than was ever
dreamd of in yure felosofy. Wall, in the eend,
if the kokkeril 1oouldlat krow, he'd krowd,
himself lie would have had krow up there at
! any rate, even if he'd been obleeged to 20 INTO
the korn fields and shute one, aud karry il up.
That you. may depend on.
Your obedient saryent,
AHAz STARKE, Y. S. A. PA.
