FRIEND LEDGER .-Altnougn promises are
not contained in the statute in regard to re-
demptions yet | will redeem mine to you il
you are so inclined | have read that bundle
of your exchanges which fobbed on my last
visit to your sanctum; Chat last word,
presume, is applied to an editors room by
way Of irony, as instead of its being a holy
place it is the principal resort of the 'devil;")
but it is Of no use to read unless you gain an
idea or some information thereby Now, in
my case the following are some of the gains
Of your humble servant on the occasion of my
last snooze among the sheets Of the press.
Were | an editor, that is, eve" thing, /
would give them to waiting world, in the
full expectation that the said world and his
wife would exclaim show good" and cry for
more, as children do for sugared lozenges,
aud as women do for hoops aad crinolne
Here's chance. What kind of lean meat
makes woman look the fattest? Why, erin
oline, to be sure. "Bnt how do you make
that to be meat?" say you. answer, it Is
meet shat they should wear it, and are not
their netes and bounds crinoline aud hoops?
After this display | would leave long
blank in the column for my readers to recover
their consciousness in when would quote
from the Placer Herald, to the effect that
"Mr l. Credit keeps hotel and restaurant
in Auburn" When was in jackson saw
that "No Credit" kept the eating houses there
If Mr.. | Credit should start a restaurant in
jackson, and put his name on his sign, he
would get all the custom, U. Bet, bar-keep,
included.
If my readers would not give me credit
for originality in the above, | would Ard the
following at them:
| see by the Record that Butte county has
a very upright Sheriff, as he is certainly Plum.
Here | would coolly impart the informa-
ton, that Ex-Governor Bigler objects to his
present Office for the reason that he is a Min
lister too chilly, Ito Chilli and cannot stom-
ach the mutton, because it is Chill acether
He already sees his bier in the dim distance.
To show that l knew something Of law,
I'd refer to the Sheriffs advertisement in
the Ledger, where the bed of the Mokelumne
river is levied on and offered for sale, in vio-
lation of Sec. 2l9 of the statute to regulate
such things, which exempts 'beds, bedding
and bedsteads" from execution.
Was the lawyer who controls the case, in
which the above named bed was levied on.
properly feed? If so, he is like preserved
meats-that is, he is feed in a case; yet he is
evidently no sardine.
Clients should remember that all feeling is
begun with a fee; and unless you have the
ability to "pungle' down, avoid all law SUITS,
as they are full suits including the neck tie
which is sometimes drawn exceedingly tight.
Here most of my readers would consider
that / was getting personal to their next
neighbors and would be SO well pleased that
| might close my columns.
And now, Mr. Ledger, you know that all
editors write with q motive; or as Commits
sioner Eubanks would say, all editors have
motor While some write for bread, others
are bred to the profession; a few write for fun,
(Which is singular, very, and the many write
for funds, (Which, like the Mormon word
wife, is noun Of multitude); there are some
who write for fa,ae-I alone for family
Is this a mystery? Here is the key. am in
love with widow "a young widow she isl
and two children, but principally with the
widow Know too that this widow (bless
her in parenthesis) is very literary; and as
for the children, if you could see the litter
they make with their playthings you would
call them litter -ary too; SO fear that can
only captyate her through the press; how
I'd like to press her to my buzzuml therefore
aid me a little in placing the above scintilla-
tions of my genius before her in good shape,
aud if succeed in winning her, why when
we are married wen be one, (won, and III
divide winnings with you; that is, I'll give
you the two children; and, two-to-one, you'll
have the best Of the bargain.
Yours truly, 10 KER.
