this miserably cold weather is too enterpris-
inc nv half, and ought to have hole knock
ed through it with brickbaf. The pen is
migbtier than the sword; but when the
mercury in the system of our old friend

by somebody who had forgotten TO leave
cards of invitation at the PATRIOT Office.
The headings of newspaper articles are
sometimes very de receptive. For instancr, there
is q special notice in one of the city dailies
headed "A Suggestion for the New Year"
and on reading it, we find we are kindly adj
viscd TO invest in lottery ticket the last
ten dollars we've got in the world Nearly
every man YOU meet, no matter how degrad, d
he may be, cherishes in his secret breast, an
imperishable disuclination To lie characle err

him to understand that when ten-dollar bills
cease to be available for cigar-lightcrs in this
country. we may then be prevailed upon TO
exchange two or three for a like number OF
his lottery tickets; and il we succeed in max
ing them serve as cigar lighters. we
shall have come that much nearer getting
back the worth of our money than any other
purchaser OF such paper. For further par

are invited" see Banner Of yesterday.
