A FORCED REvELATIoN-A MONSTER OF
ISGRArIrUDE. - The course of conduct
which the editor of the Franklin Review
has seen fit to pursue towards us, has
forced from us a revelation which we
intended the world should die in igno-
rance of. That revelation is asfollows
A few days after the Battle of Wa
terloo, we were travelling through Hol-
land for the purpose of seeing if, by ma
king a ererassc in one of the dykes which
keep out the sea, we couldn't overflow
the country to the depth Of two or three
inches, and make a fine cranberry patch
Of it. Near the rural village of Dun
deranblitHen w saw standing on the
road side, what we at first took 10 be Il
scarccrow, but what turned out TO be a
dilapidatcd young man. How're your
said We. Mr. cum arouse" said he
Whercupon we entered into CONVERSE
ton with him, aud learned that he WAS
an orphan, without home or friends, that
the sour krout crop had failed, and that
he hadn't had anything to eat Tor about
three weeks, and was quite hungry
We happened to have a box of Crack
mel Biscuit along with us, which we gave
him, and which he instantly devOUred,
box and all. We then told him t. come
TO the ho.el after dinner. and We would
give him a couple of dollars which was
half the money we had, having recently
broke. In ten or fifteen days he came.
We asked him why he didn't come soon
or. The poor, unsophisticatcd cuss re-
piled hat we had told him to come after
dinner, and he had been waiting to get
.dinuer 10 come after, but hadn't sue
ceeded, and 80 he come before it. The
reply, though exceedingly amusing, was
satisfactory, and We gave him w five
franc pieces, which made him "A million

the sum lacked one dime Of being the
amount we had promised him, and that's
the way we came 10 W him the tritic
which he Las been making such an liz
iernat fuss about.
We brought him to this country with
us. In New York, through the influence
Of the Dutch Consul, VIC procured him
a situation, which lac declared at the
time, with truth, was greatly above his
merits and capacitics-tiiat of deputy
corresponding secretary and assistant
book-kecper to q one-mulc manure-wag-
ON. In a short time lac lost the situation
by i~nattention to business and too much
attention 10 the Lager-bccr saloons, and
came out TO Tennessee IN foot IN search
Of his bcncfactor; which we need not
say was US. We c more stepped 10
his relief, and by super-human cXcrtion
succeeded in getting him III as editor
Of the Franklin Review, known abroad
since his connection with it as the
Hcstcrn WEAKLY Rcr!etc.
In unfolding this painful state Of
facts, which VT have done with Infinite
reluctance, we have much ~extcnuatcd,
but have set down nought in malice
How the editor Of the Review has re.
Quilted the immense quantities Of kind,
ness he has received at our generous
hands, let the last three numbers Of his
paper tell. Placing our hand upon our
heart, we maytruly say with KIM LEAR
>, HsLoaErH! thou ha.tusd shar?-toothsd unkindn-,s
Like Il yulture here"
lie may say what he pleases about us
hereafter through his paper, and con,
tinue to tell it boastingly III the streets
of Franklin that We won't come out
there because we're afraid he'll swal
low us whole, for it doesn't hurt Us any,
And now, we're done with him forever
