A "wALE' FROM Nasty.

MIR. Nasby is in sore trouble over New
Jersey, and his lRst letter is dated "on the
wing, Nov. the 9, 1866" On hearing the
news he tainted, and wished he had died,
but eventually comes to, and starts on a
pilgrimage to find some place to rest. We
copy the latter part of his letter:
The follerin may be consolation to the
few Dimokrats NV the North, who have
gone so far into copperheadism that they
can't change their base: -a rs..a

But behold the people jeer and fout

In the North? Lo! it is barred agin us

In the South In their eyes the North

In Mexico? There is war there and
we might be drafted.
Who will deliver us? Who willpluck
