Nj, Editor.-It was on one Of those
beautiful nights of last week, every thing
and very near every body in your little
town, seemed to be hushed in the deepest
slumber. The silvery was dashing its
brilliant rays yer the snow-white tops
of the silent habitations. Nature spoke
words of consolation to the wondering
lover.
AS I am not one of Cppid's ~despairing
gantie work Of God-oalled nature ; I was
enjoying a moments contemplation of that
charming canopy of heaven with its thou
sand of diamonds scattered over it......I
was dreaming. 49,. yes dreaming of thase
beautiful room light nights as depicted
by Dumas, when the sound Of a voice n
rounsed me from my revery. AT frst,'I took
it to be a voice from above, but, O decep-
ton how cruel thou art! -. on look
ing towards the way whence the voice
came. Guess what / saw ? two angels from
below, engaged iu a conversation which
ran thus : ~ 3 .gs -yaa4J :g9sg.@
B~ob.-James, can you tell me how rad
icals and national democrats differ in their
political views? Aa2sa
/. James-Well. -. Well. .Wel1....
Bob.-Shooking ; what's the use Of sc
many wells ! cant you answer my question
Observation-Disclosures the use you
say ! why the use is that we are going to
have one of those sceAs for Governor and
I suppose that you will. be able to find out
the difference, without my telling you.
Bob.-James, as you speak thus. a n idea
strikes me. Surprising your prophecy
to turn ont true, what shall we do with
our Due-rent? you are well aware that
our ~pecuniary hopes lie in the coming
election, and if that fails, we will undoubt.
edly prove falls to our engagements.
James.-Never mind that, it will not be
the first time; bessure that if we fall I
will prove to our landlord, and that, by
the way of A plus B. that 70 are cents
less and ofcourse bound to leave Due-rent
behind. 50. IG .e5s rs
Bob.-But where shall we go!
Jqmes-To Belgium Of course.
Bob.-Pretty Moe talk--Ths idea Of
going to Belgium without q cent to pay
for our passage! 3
Lames.-Have We not worked our way
as delegates to this convention. through
the darkest passage of this political world,
and cant we work for cur passage across
the Atlantic. .....
Bob.-It's all right, but allow ms 10 tell
you that the new set Of men w will have
TO deal with, we're set free before Colnm-
bus ever thought of discovering America,
and from that fact, you can't make them
believe that 10 prevent dogs from biting,
they have to be tied with sausages.
James.-Bob if you will listen to ME a
while without putting your everlasting
objections. / will tell you in q few words,
what are my plans af emigration /:
B0b.-Go ON James. l am ready to hear
you... The fact is, that so far, you have
done hugely we'll. but mind that there n
an aid maxim which says !" In the king
dom of blind-men. those who are blind Of
one eye are kings" and where We are
going, people see with both eyes.
James.-Troable not your mind on that
score. but listen "a ~
Boil shall be silent.as a tombstone
james. peruse.
James.-Then, as I have said before If
we fail in orr attempt, we are of for Bel
| GUM. In order to do that, we take q
steamship from New York to Havre. from
Hayre we manage to 60 to Paris. in which
place ! have q wealthy friend, who will
give Us the means to get, to Belgium.
Starting from Paris, by taking a northerly
direction, we are certain TO meet F2andeys
on our road, as there must be a national
Bank in that place. we draw what money
we need and continue our jOurnytill we
reach our place of Destination. Do you
| see the point, Bob1 ..s ~ @ 81 u 4
Bob.-Se far as meeting Nandeys on our
way. that may be-for | have heard Of
such . plaza being ON the frontiers of
France-but when you talk Of finding q
national bank there-allow me to tell yon
that my fathers name was, Pressy, Dante,
John-and that Pressy. Dante, John 3 son
don't SEP the point
James.-Bob, you are a knave. and yon
are not even Tito be q DELEGATE TO q rad
ical convention
