The stoodent aud oonnyseer must have !

Them hanbills to sculpt in New York
Il | aunooly repair there to git some
more on um,
& boin here, thot I'd isso Address
to the public on matters and things.
Since last l meyaudered these streets,
have been all over the Pacific Slope and
Utah. cum back now, with my virtue
unimpaired, but I've got to git some nRw
clothes,
Many changes has taken place, even
durin my short absence, & sum on um is
Sullum to contemplate. The house in
Varriok Street, where used to board, is
bein' torn down. That house, which was
rendered memorable by my livin' into it,
is "pNrsin away parsin awayW But soyie
of the timbers will be made into Gains,
which will be sold to my admirers at the
low price of one dollar each. Thus is
changes goin' on continerally. In the New
World it's wir-in the Old World empires
is totterin' e. dysentaries is crumbling
These canes is cheap at dollar.
Sammy Booth sculpt my handbills, &
he's all artist Ho studid in Rome State
of New York.
I'm here to read the proof-sheets Of my
hanbills as fast as they're sculpt, You
have to watch these ERE printers pretty
close for they air as apt to spell wurd
rong as anyhow.
But have time to look round some, &
how do find thingsY | return to the At.
| lantic States after q absence of ten months,
& what state do l fud the country inH
Suffice it to say do not find it in the State
of New Jersey
find sum things that is cheerin', par
ticly the resolve on the part of the wimin
of America stop wearin furren goods.
! never NEEDLE with my wife's things
She may wear muslin from Greenland's ICY
mountains, and bombazeen from Injy's
coral strands, ii she wants to; but I'm
glad 10 state that superior woman has peel
ed of all her furrcn clothes aud jumpt in.
to fabricks of dome jtic manufacture.
But says sum folks If you stop importil
things you stop the Revenoo. That's al
right. We can stand it if the Reveno'
can't. On the same principal young men
should continner to get drunk on French
brandy, and to smoke their liver dry as
cornoob with Cuhy cigars, because 4sootl
if they don't, it will hurt tho Revenoo
The talk about the Revenoo is Of tile bosh
boshy. One thing is tol'bly oertain--if W
don't send gold out of tho country, we shall
have the consolation of knowing that
is in the country. SO say-and to tell tn
trooth, the wimin generally know wha
they're about. OF all the bltssin's they'r
the soothinist If thered never been an
wimin, where would Iny children be tC
day?
But hope this move will lead to othe
moves that air just as much needed, on
of which is gen'ral and therrer curtain
ment of expenses all around. The fact
we are gettin' terribly extravagant, & or
less we paws in our mad career in less tina
two years the goddess of liberty will b
, seen dodgin' into Pawn brokers' sho
with the other gown done up in bundle
even if she don't have to Spout the gol
stars in her head band Let US all TAX
hold jiatly, and live and dress centsibl,
like onr forefathers, for they knowe
more'n we do if they want quite 50 homes
There are other cheerin' signs. w
don't for instans, lack great Gin'rals, an
VIC certainly don't lack brave sojers--bl
there's one thing | wish we did lack, an
that is our present Congress.
At q special congressional lection in m
: district, the other day, delibritly vote
: for Henry Clay. | admit that Henry
dead, but inasmuch as we don't seem
have live statesman in our national Coz
gress, let US by all meaus have q first clal
corpse.
And now with genuine hurrar for Il
: : wimin who air goin' to abandin furrin good
and another for the patriotic everywher
I'll leave public matters, and indulge i'll
little pleasant family gossip.
