G6- The philadelphia Worth 4msncan
says; Some ghoul who Is endeavOring to
make a few dirty dollars, by dressing in
doggerel the story Of Mrs Sickles shame,
has published a song, which an army OF
boys are crying for sale all over the city.
The worst Of the matter is that they are
purchased with avidity. The songs are
three in number, set to the tune Of "Villi-
kens and his Dinah." The verse is execra-
bic, yet is being sung by every ragged n
chin you meet in the streets. A popular
degradation like this must be among the
most terrible ingredients in the cup of mis-
cry which is now being quafed by this mis-
cradle woman.
~ An editor defending his friend who
has been nailed for sheep stealing, thus IL
illustrates his private character:
We have known Mr. Thomas for twelve
years. Our acquaintance commenced with
the great equinotical storm, which blew
down our grandfather barn. Al that time
he was young man, in the prime OF life,
and, We think, raised the best marrowfat peas
that we ever ate. lie was good ma'he
matician, kind to the poor, and troubled
with fits. In all the relations of husband,
father, uncle and trustee OF common lands,
he has followed the direct standard of duty.
Mr.. Thomas is at this time forty-three years
of age, slightly marked with the smallpox,
an estimable citizen, a church member, and
a man of known integrity for ten years.
And as to sheep stealing, that he would
have done it if he could get sn opportunity,
is without foundation in point Of fact. Mr.
Thomas could have stolen our lead pencil
several times but he didn't do it,
