!. eor oue,t, from time-surnount difhcuIties


lous truths, but grammar teaches that history and
ob,ervaton are two words, ard require the verb ii
tie third person plural. However not to be cap
titu,, and taking Mayor Woods grammar for wha
it is uo,h 1--WE simply itaEcize here to keep HIS
HONOR in countenance), We agree that the sPE'
GAL MAN msy make conquests from time, and
30 forth. For exsmple: When Fernando was be
fore the Crinnsl Court in that jolly Larkirg bust
Dess i Honor will appreciate those italic') there
wsss conquest on his part over time equal to ths
beet 2;40; Day, to the expressiest locomotive The
conqrest Of the SPECIAL MAN, Fernando, oveI
time, was, that be wrigsled himself over the lmta
ton Of three Year,, the Judge declaring that il wal
"ju.t one day toe late" which saved somebody
from goiDe to Sing Sing. Tie SPECIAL MAN, too,
surmounted dihiculties." While swearing at the
Pope in dsrk.lantern lodge, and seeking Know
Nothing domination for Mayor at the County Nom
mating Convention, Fernando surmcunted the
eycrucisting difficulty Of being in full CON-
munion with the Pewter Mug telling Erin
90 brsg aid his adopted fellow citizens gen.
erslly to keep bold front. By this means, Fer
csme go near gaol-s lteraldiffereuce with ven
gesnce.
Fernando ntinueth: "The sorroEs, the trials
"snd trbula.ions Of the GENERAL MAN resut from
"tbe COZ deDce reposed in, ard the deferred hopes
"of the ETERNAL TOMORROW: while the tn
"umphs Of the SPECIAL MAN msy intallibly be
"traced 70 his earnest action in the ever living pres
"ent-in the realities Of TO DAY. CAPITALLY
expressed this, Fernando. A sort Of mOraistic
parsphra,e Of HOrace's oorpe diem; didsctic rem
derpg Of JOHN SMITHS immortal maxim, " Go 1T
WHILE YoUR RE YOUNG" But, Fernando, as yoa
are taking Of GENERAL WORTH, you should not
have used the word GENERAL MAN. for some
hearers or readers might then cOnfound the
GENERALS in the particulars. Fernando being the
SPECIAL MAN Gas we have shown), it is fair ts
infer that the military subject is the GENERAL.
Hence the proposition is muddy and we would
advice His Honor to clear starch it little
for the second edition of ri, pamphlet. THE
ETERNAL TOMORROW may mean that tim
when in case Of Fernandos reelection, the streets
shsl be clt an ard safe. II So please add note for
the new edition. The triumphs Of our SPECIAL
MAN in the realities Of To-DAY-that is, every TO-
DAY up TO net Tuesday inclative-are, however,
excruciatiney dubious. They ruu afoul Of such
counter triumpbs as that at the Academy Of Music
on Tuesday last
Ltquitur ye Mayor Jet further: "Time is always
" cspiicious aid often deceitful." Fernando, we
don't know what that means or whether it means
anything. If you mean that the time kept by the
City Hall clock is always capricious and often de-
ceitful, then why not mend and grease the works
If you mean the time kept by Barhum's Museum
bra,a band, perhaps you're right. Bat if you mean
that Tims-TnIE, the old neurological harvester,
with an full beard, and an awfaerscythe, that cuts
and comes again, We tell you Fernando, that you're
all wrong. This time you err about that Time.
TIME eoprieious, Fernando Why, bless your be-
bebanktd, bejosephwalkered soul, time is
the ney table eflux OF unslterable continuity Time
is the SUCCESSION Of ideas, Fernando, if you wanss
definition worth while. You may be "capriciou',
and the time you altered the bill Of sale Of ve,sel
from S4 200 to $l2 900 you may have been "de'
ceitful," but it was YOU, and not time There
used to be man in Grand street who taught writ
rg and metaphysics, with the use Of the guitar, in
twelve Lessons. Take few Of him, Fernando, II
he be not clipped off to the ETERNAL TO MORROW.
Fernando, DR.. John,on says in the preface to bis
Dictionary, "When the radical idea branches Oh
" into parallel ran 6cations, how is it possible to
" find consecutive series Of things in their
" nature collaterall" Exactly so, Fernando. Col
laterss are not good security in the street. bat
in the smpitudnous cock.a.tocs Of literature they
are a little risky. Better, when you are talking
about General, not to swash in pincbbeck tran
see nden tal tone about GENERAL MAN, and time,
and general assortment of kitchen furniture; but
lump into medals res, otherwise a SPECIAL MAN
may make SPECIAL ASS of himself.
We have neither space nor time-our space be-
ing in.erd ed for the eternal to morrow, as we
write dsy in advance necessarily, and our time
being regulated by the caprcious City Hall ccck-
to anayze all the time andeternity beauties OF this
IL yely legacy Of bis Honor. We shall therefore,
manfully COL fine ourselves to one more quota lion,
being the final sentence Of fifteen pages. "Tne
life," says his Honor, "of Gen. WORTH is
" indeed an exemplar which young men might well
emulate for its truthfulness to him.ef bis country
and his GOD, as conditioned beirg in Time"
Honest Isgo! But, separating the moral text from
the preacher Fernando, what DO you mean by q
conditioned being in Tme"l Oar time is up
but We cannot forego to be little critical even at
the death. You knocked Time in the head at the
out,et as an internal old BORE and at the close you
perform miracle with his bones BY putting en-
dtioned being on top Of him. A horse is said to
be in condition" when he hasn't the blind stag
gers, or SPAWN or any disease or infrmity, or goes
we'll under the ,addle or in harness. A Mayor may
be said to be " in col dition when be feeds well at
