n Rem aserio comic letter in the. Boston
Traveller addressed TO Our wayward Sister
Caroline, we copy the following concluding
paragraphs; .l.ai s.I
Don't let rs separate, after living so long
together. Stiie your anger, stop your scOld-
ing, swallow down your spite; the next time
you hear the dinner bell ring, come in and
take your place at the table and hear me ask
the blessing, and behave like decent woman.
1 value the reputation of the family, and
wish you to stay in it a little longer, for your
own sake as well as mine. Nobody wishes
70 hurt you; besides, you have spunk enough
in all conscience TO defend yourself if they
did. Nobody doubts your courage. But,
Caroline, remem mber-consider- stay ct home
III wish tive all wish it. Nevertheless IL
you must 90, l SHALL only say, Joy go with
yOa and 3 fair Wind after you. II y have
lived with you = years think every
body will sgres can live without you to all
eternity. b
BaL Caroline, let rs both look ahead.-
What Is The future to be2 Where are you
agoi8g aud what are you about to DO Z Your
contributions 10 the support Of the family
have not been remarkable while We we're to-
gether have mailed all your letters for
yen; / have given you your fair proportion
in al the stocks; have always consulted you
what We should have for dinner, and what
the dinner hour should be; when ever your
sery ants have run away have always tried
to catch them, tho confess it was dis
agreeable job; and / have always said to you,
that You might have US many of them as you
choose, only keep them your own side Of the
| house. ] want TO have nothing 10 do with
them. ,s.
The past you know; and nov, in the name
Of conscience, what is your future to be p
! Are you going to set up a separate establish
meut2 Doyou expect alone 70 stand, rank
aud iile, among all the great families in our
-aeighborhoodg Win you not double your
expeuses2 Will you not expose yourself to
all The insults andlaWsuits that any European
bully msy see fit TO Offer2 And, trust me,
though none Of them can have more spirit,
yet all Of them viii be ten times stronger
than you. 5ltr...-j If.rtH-qL.f
Only think Of every little spinster, that has
ten dollars in the savings bank, setting up d
separate establishment and undertaking to
keep coach and four, besides tandem gig,
Ia bsrouche, five or six saddle horses, two
racers and all the grOoms and servants nee
essefy to their support. Why, Caroline, hay
is dear this season; stables are liable TO be-
burnt up pswith your management insurance
viii be high; and where you are to get the
lohersiVitkal to pay your bills, can't imagine
However, if you are determined to goo
and may your own experience teach you 8
lesson you have never learned before.
And now, Caroline, as we are about tC
part, let US resolve never 20 quarrel any more
| Let us part in peace, and not cursing eacl
other, but wishing each other every domestic
and social blessing. / am willing to trade
with you; if you want any Oi my hem
j you shall have them, paying fair price,
But must tell you, shall pay no more Q
your family bills; shall mail none OF you
letters; I shall sell you no stamps; / shal
catch for you none Of your niggersj AM
though I shall be cautious myself, sonle Of M
faulil probably will talk about you ten time
worse than they ever have done. If you
servants get into a rol0, shall not step in =
help yoa; but then shall let you 60 in peace
The worst shall do, Is, if you atfsmpt I
scratch me shall try to catch you and hoi
you still, until have cut your nails; as {
your screaming and scolding, it only proves
70 the astpnlshed world, how near the sub
lime is to the ridiculous.
Farewell, Dear Caroline; these come fror
your Former Brother, smiling through hi
! tears. 8
