Lottery SaCindlers.

We have frequently taken occasion to
warn our readers against lottery swindlers
who are flooding the country with their
''brilliant schemes and confidential
letters" but we have reason to believe
that great many people are yet SO un-
wise as to send their money to these ras-
Gals. We are permitted to copy reply
to one of these lottery circulars, which we
hope will do good, as showing our read
ers how sensible man resents the insult
he has received If all who receive these
lottery circulars would burn them, or re-
ply something like the following, the vii
lians would soon get sick of sending out
their documents
WEST CONCORD, VT, Jan. l, 1865.
T. SEYMoRE & Co., New York:
Your lottery circular of Dec. 2lst is
the second nuisance of the kind recently
received by me. 1t has disturbed my
peace OF mind-don't trouble me in like
manner again. Such communications are
extremely annoying to me. don't claim
to possess more sagacity than other men,
but | am not fool enough to patronize such
swindlers and scoundrels as you, who feed
and tatten on the credulity of fools.
Can't you find some more honorable
way of procuring livlihood? Come in
to Vermont and hunt skunks; for here
we are cursed with skunks, but not with
bogus lottery offices. Turn Italian organ
grinder; rob graveyards of their sleeping
tenants and sell them to medical institu-
tlons; in this way you may benefit the
cause of science. Turn highwayman OF
open brothel. Either of the above
branches of business, though not commen-
dable, would IN my opinion be more hon
orable than the one by which you exc out
a miserable existence 1t was well fol
Egypt that it was scourged by lice ane
frogs, instead of lottery ticket venders.
Should the New York police do thei1
duty, the present inmates of Sing Sing
would soon be dlsgraced by the new ac
quaintances they would be likely to form
Don't let me hear from you again.

Odd Titles.

In 1856 pamphlet was published in
London, entitled "a most Delectable
Sweet Perfumed Nosegay for Gods Saints
to Smell at" About the year 1919 there
was published a work entitled a pair of
Bellows to blow off the dust cast upon
John Fry" and another, called "The
SnutferS of Divine Love" Cromwelrs
time was particularly famous for title
pages. The author of a work on charity
entitled his book, Z" Hooks and Eyes for
Believers Breechcs.' Another, who pro-
tessed wish to exalt poor human nature,
calls his labors, "lIish-heelcd Shoes for
Dwarfs in Holiness" And another,
"Crumbs of Comfort for the Chickens OF
the Covenant. \ Quaker, whose out
ward man the powers that were thought
proper to imprison, published "A Sigh of
Sorrow for the Sinners of Zion, breatled
out of Il hole in the Wall of an earthly
Vessel, known among men by the Name
of Samuel Fisk" About the same time
there was also published, :" The spiritual
Mustard Pot, to make the Soul sneeze
with Devotlon;" Salvation's Vantage
ground, or Louping Sand for Heavy
Believers" Another, "a Shot aimed at
the Devils Headquarters, through the
Tube OF the Cannon of the Covenant -
This is All author who speaks plain lam
guage, which the most illiterate reprobate
! cannot fail to understand. Another. "A
Reaping-hook, well tempered, for the
Stubborn Ears of the coming Crop; or
Biscuit Baked in the Oven of Charity,
carefully conserved for the Chickens of
the Church, the Sparrows of the Spirit,
and the sweet Swallows of Salvation. ~
10 another we have the following copious
description of its contents: "Seven Sobs
of Sorrowful Soul for Sin, or the seven
penitential Psalms of the Princely Proph-
ct David: whereunto are also added.
William Humius's handful of Honeysuek
les, and divers Cody and pithy Ditties,
now newly augmented. Another work
has the following quaint title: "The
