JACoUE " DIMUNTz, EsQ.-My DeaT
Bower: If ever let them catch me g.
gain, may I. B. Dahmn, (the name Of di-
abolical German friend of mine.)
Such; a terrific impreoation contingent
may sound strange to you, my bower, from
one whose morality has heretofore been IN.
questioned, Butyou must not be astonisb.
ed; stranger things have happened; angels,
my bower, have fallen; and I have actually
heard Of an instance in which young lady
has been faithful to her lover in the army.
Therefore, don't be astonished at anything.
Speaking of the other sex reminds me-
Did you ever see any Of the Northern
growth? Did you ever compare them with
the home production There is q slightual
difference, my bower Anywhere between
Erie Lake and the Maryland line, the rustic
Of a dress, the glance Of an eye, or the sofl
tones Of the voice, fail to stir up.n quicken,
ed action in The heart Of a down South mas
curne. But strike the border, my bower,
and blood begins to tell. You look upon o
graceful form, the pretty little feet, the sweet
smile you hear a lutte when they speak to
you, and when you take one ofthem by the
hand, you feel like forty.octave organ was
playing Meyefbeer's best all around under
your vest. God bless the women-the wo'
men of the South in particular! My bow.

Many, many weary months have elapsed
since I last wrote you, and detailed the man
ner in which I broke into the delectable
place situate on Lake Erie for the especial
accommodation of gentlemen ofthe Confsd-
crate persuasion. Many Of the Lapstones,
my bower, have gone there on happy lit.
tie raid, and are there yet. Asa's heart
swells with bigness he cannot belittle,
when he thinks Of the many once gay and
joyous comrades whom he has followed to
the hallowed ground, and helped to hide a.
way from the bleak Northern sky. They
are gone, my bower, whore all the patriots
go; they answer no more to the saucy Yam.
