Eg Some people can no more write
poetry, or even tolerable rhymes than
female turkey can lay hens eggs. Now
1t is no crime not to be able to write poe
try, but it is almost criminal to send to a
printer something purporting to be poetry,
which is equally destitute of good SPELL
ing, good grammar, melody, rhyme Or
reason. We have quite number Of such
wretched abortions on hand. To publish
them would be to lose our own self res
pect, injure the writer, and insult our rea-
ders. Now we want to talk for mo-
ment, sensibly and kindly to those who
are affiiot ID with this poetic mania. Yoa
would not think of appearing before an
audience, to play for them on piano, I'M
less you had had long previous practice,
and mastered tie instrument so that it
was obedient to your will. Now poetry
is an almost miraculous thing. 1t is the
Towering of thought: sweetest fancies, no
hest memories, ardent hopes, strongest i'm
ayinings and purest loves, by Poetry are
embalmed in the choicest, most fitting
and mclodious garb that language can
supply. Poetry too has its laws which
poets must obey, and while we invite our
readers to seld in articles for publication,
we would request them if they write in
verse to study Prosody and scan their ar
ticles closely.

Gg We presume our towns people
will notice the call for a caucus next Sa:-
urday. We hope there may be full at
tendance.
We do not believe in carrying party
politics into town elections to any gr at
extent. In our own town there is no need
of this. But it is important that the diff
erent parts of the town, lie represented
in the caucus, if they wish to have their
interests duly considered at the election.
1t is important that we elect men to office
who will take interest enough to faithfully
perform their duties. In new country
especially, where every one is busy with
his own affairs, public business is apt to
be uncared for.
Come to the caucus then, and help Sc
lect men for office, who are not only ca
pable, but like Barkis, "willin."
