We unhesitatingly recommend the follow
ing "adieu" of the editor of the LIE Clair
Enterprise to his beloved and loving patrons.
Friend King tells his own impressive tale.
Read it carefully; read it often:
To the Patrons of the City Enterprise
Pixies Peak loomingsip the distance at
tracts the wayward' thoughts of your humble
servant, who hopes to revel midst the green
dells and shady groves at the base Of that
mountain, ere July's sun shall dissipate the
dew from its moss-covered slopes You will
therefore not be surprised to learn that the
Eaterprise-our pet Enterprise-has ceased
to pulsate. No more shall it wave. Sing
o requiem to its departed glory; drop a tear
o'cr its silent grave. Our petis strangled-
and have done it, for the simple reason
that it could not be helped. Money could
not be obtained to meet the current expenses
of the Office; and it is against my principles
to labor any considerable length of time for
the public good without guild pro quo
I have put on the breaks and shut off the
steam-whioh has been the only power used
to keep up the motion. Ihad hoped to con-
tinue till the end of the year, and should
have done so could enough, of the needtul
have been obtained wherewith to infuse life
into the coagulating veins of our pet.
In view Of my early departure for the new
Eldorado-where gold is supposed "to be a.
round loose" I hope you will bear in mind
that have some debts to cancel, which L
will be unable to meet unless you pay up,
which it is hoped you may be induced to do
at once.
I do not indulge hope that have pub
hshed paper that has given satisfaction to
all my readers, but
"If unwittingly, or in my rage,
Have aught committed that is hardly borne
By any in this presence, desire
To reconcile me to his friendly peace;
IT'S death to me to be at enmity,
1 hate it, and desire all good mems love-"
My pursuits in life have been as varied
and changeable as the tinted clouds of a sum-
mer's eve, and no one have I found to suit
nv yinp and bile less than does the position
of an editor I have errors Of head, and it
may be Of, heart, which fact has taught me
that my capacity is not .suf6cientsto success
fully fill the position I~have so recently oc-
cupied. Too frank, too eonfding in my ma
ture, to please many of my readers, and as
sssome certain dregs of conscience are yet within
me-"
7 would not refer to their weakness, nor keep
silent over their errors or follies; hence have
some become angry and cursed me; while
others have hattered me with their soft soder,
which, however was unaccompanied by the
pe,oter rinetumz, which were supposed to
move Dobbin.
Inasmuch as editors are supposed to know
more than common people, so have l put on
airs, and sought to appear wise, but
so knowledge, ill-nhabited!
Worse than Jove in thstched house."
Ihave spent ny breath and labored for
naught; I am not appreciated. My readers
cannot see that have superior abilities
that am no common man, and so they have
in fact repudiated me, and ..
.Neithsr rhyme nor reason can express how much
they are deceived; but thus it is, genius aoa1
90 unrequited in almost every community !;
and so I shall follow the star of empire
westward to the region of gold, where hope
to see the color of it once more.
The press are requested to discontinue
their exchanges; and in this connection, [
would take occasion to thank them for many
acts of courtesy extended to us. Long may
they wave.
One gasp more Ihave the Office still in
my hands, and will dispose of it to some en-
terprisipg man, whose finances are in such
state of plethora as to endanger his soul, or
may desire to distinguish himself as Iitera-
ry star, at a great bargain. Approved paper
is wanted, although those who have nothing
but the cash to offer may secure its purchase.
1t is better Office than may be found be-
tween Davenport and Dubuque; and some
man who has courage, drains are not need
ed,I may make it a stepping stone to glory.
