certainty of rascality. would depart with
trembling and fear and in the hasty retreat
cast but one longing look upon yonr might
be dear damned distracted town. But not
so. During my short stay among YOU, have
found sufficient evidence conyincive of your
wel-meaning, industry honor. and | have
vet to find but one of the nnlA Der who have
shown disposition to withhold an express
sion of good wishes toward me Us Il common
friend. y
Yours is truly a beautiful country the
wide-stretching golden praries surrounding
yeur homes are now thinly dotted with
game: the slvery waters of the Little Tur
key are just as pure and sparkling as of old,
Notwithstanding the flthness of the lone
money sucker whose depository is up"n its
banks-L, in tines Of yore was a sportsman
round about that |cvec, and something SEEM
ed to say" Young man, snnb up here, and
unload your cargow "snubbed' not for
admirable y of hitching location. and hence,
in an unguarded moment portion of my
hard earnings were illegally STOLEN by the
sucker.
But have yet willing hands. una!led by
itch for paltry gain, and they will not refuse
to labor as heretofore honestly for the sum
uniustv taken. No, unlike masked decep
ton, have never encouraged my fingers ta
dive deeper than the bottom Of the printers
case to obtain the bright metal; but think,
unorringy, friends, one might be singled
in this community who would even fathom
the depths of your pockets for the more
precious metal. Aye, he would even while
away the fleeing moments of his declining
years about dead mems skulls most avarI-
cionsly inspecting the sacred spot for the
small pittance worth Of copper which long
time since bespoke that the lustre of the eye
had faded into death, or, would even extract
the decayed teeth Of the deceased for the
small portion of gold foil they might contain.
Yes, reader, further into disgrace would his
love of gain carry him-he would stand erect
the corpse, were power vested in him,
to make it perform duty he would claim
it's once physical ability owed him. But
thank Heaven he too is failing,-a would-be
popular mind, weak aspiring mind, dis
honest "mind without reflection, like pile
without inhabitant, to ruin runs" His forte,
like unto the open hollowness of narrow
contracted railroad depot, is pretent'on, re-
pcntance, and the almighty dollar. May he
find in this kind of fertilization safe secre-
ton from the gasping themes of He'll; but
alas! he would erringIy check his treasures
for the grand nucleus Of like place OF des'
tination. Will Almighty God ticket this
dcceitful hypocrite through for the damna.
BILE traits of his dishonest character? Time
will tell. II. LICK.
