posed TO make some atonement for the
liberty he had taken in going dosOn stream,
for we find by reading his third letter, that
he took the liberty and went up to Athens,
a little distance back Of the hill from
Pomeroy where he started from. He,
Like hare, whom hounds and horn pursue,
Pantsto the place from whence at first she few.
Wonder what took him 70 Athens?, Any
legal business on Land? Any NIL bust
ness under consideration? Pshaw---ie on
such crooked questions.,l4 10 s5,3 -,js...s,
This Is the very best world toIive in,
To icnd or to spend TO gveln, 20 = t''
Andto got q ifinelady we all have to own
II is the very best world that ever was known.
He seems TO be at loss to account, and
thinks it ga curious circumstance" that
nature has so arranged her handy-work as
to have ''the rivers to run close by the
principal towns" emo doubt" if he would
take ga glance at Geography and the re-
port of Travellers" he would think it ga
curious circumstance" that steamers and
rail cars are SO arranged that they could
take some men around robin Hoods
barn." past ''f1ourishing city or town"
to--but never mind we'll tell the bal
ance in our next opistle.
There is charm attached to our old
haunts and associations that will not leave
US; we revisit them in our dreams, and
sometimes in person with a0arna hearts and
outstretched arms-this is all right, so we
write. He thinks it was "a singularity
that there were no ladies on the boat from
Pomeroy to Cincinnati" If he knew as
much about this as a0e do, he would think
it no ''singularity' at all The "ladies"
mammas, for ausht we know, knew that
there a certain fine, modest, unassu
ming gentleman on board, and fearing that
he might captivate them, kept them at
home. "Why. how could they do other
wise? We find that he was more fortu-
nate, however, con the r. r., a belle or
two of the colored persuasion honored"
with their presence for short distance,
but no olhers." Dark and gloomy ride
that. We'll, we read somewhere, we believe
in Hudibras, "Our likeness make us won
derous kind We don't contemplate by
this inuendo, to insinuate anything like
color or rotundity, but only y-but-but--
confound the word; we can't think just
now what kind Of word to put in here
but never mind, the '1ocos" will find 'hat
out next fall.
TO be serious now, about matters and
things, we hope our friend, that is, the
aforesaid Editor. has arrived safe and
sound at Columbus, after his visit TO
Athens, and his beholding the ''sparkling
eyes and rose tints" of the person that
gave him can explanation" and that he is
safely seated in that costly stone building
mot the stone building above the bridge;
we don't mean it, for by going there he
would have to go up stream. O! talking
or writing about "brldges" reminds us of
the "stone- bridge" at Pomeroy. Have
they got it repaired yet? We think we
hear you answer this question in thunder
tones-no- as... ..'. 3 -.-..-
Confound the Bridge, what made it full2
Why, the arch gave way, aud then the wall,
The arch took sick with a crushing spasm,
And then collapsed, ana left chasm. ....
This we believe, is the only reason
That we give, tho out of
What's to be done, do you wish to know it;
Why, build new one, so says the poet,
Make u ten foot fill, then build with rocks,
And not repair with wooden blocks,
Rocks are plenty, and TIMBER scarce,
Cash abundant, and peoplc fierce.
Go to Ledlie, Brown and Ellis,
And they won't do their duty just and tell u.s.
Wen make them build ii, arch and wall,
Or we'll mind these gcpts, perhaps, next fall !
1t must be built, for it doth much annoy,
SOME county eople, and ALL POmeroy.
There now, you have the Su5-lj,ma-lu-
dicrous. Well, we are not in fault for we
are at this time, under the necessity of
writing with a musical pen, plusked fionl
the pinions of an old nsuSicdl goose; made
and repaired by patent pen aker, pui-
chased from musical Frenchman, to the
tune of V, anyway the said the d musical
Frenchman played a tune on ''harp of IA
strings" over us-though fur !
ther this deponent sayeth not, lest he
might not have room to say that he was
your musical friend, troublesome cores
pondent, and somewhat of queer fellow |
and BUSY BODY.
