The following iuimitable parody on Poe't
ssRasanD we clip form the September mum
Der Of that sterling monthly magaaine, Re
Rtsa,er, published in New York CITY 1t
will be read with much interest BY all our
readers, and rslishsd with great gusto BY
newspaper men everywhere -
Once 10 August, wet and dreary, sat this
writer, weak and weary, pondering DER a
memorandum book Of items used before
book of scrawling head notes, rather, items,
taking days to gather them in hot and sui
try weather (using up much time and lea-
ther,) pondered We these items Ger. While
We eonn'ea them, slowly rocking (through
our mind queer ideas focking,) came
quick and nervous knocking knocking at
the sanctum door. 0Sure, that must be
Jinks,' we emuttered- links that's knock
ing at our door; Jinks, the everlasting
bore. f1''3a G. - S.:
All, well do .we remind US, in the walls
which then confined MS, the exchanges"
lay behind us, and before US, and around
us, all Ger the floor. Thinks We "Jinks"
wants to borrow some newspapers till TO-
morrow, and twill be relief from sorrow to
get rid,of Jinks, the bore, by opening wide
the door" Still the visitor kept knocking
knocking louder than before.
And the scattered piles Of papers cut some
rather curious eapers, being lifted by the
breezes coming through another door ; and
We wished (ths wish was evil, for one
deemed always civiD that Jnks was at the
d-l, to stay there evermore; there to find
his level - Jinks, the nerve unstringing
bore!
Braoing up our patience frmer, then !!
without another murmer :-t'Mr. >JiDks,
,your pardon, your forgiveness We implore.
RRt, the fact Is, wewe reading Of some
surious proceeding, and thus 1t was, ua.
hseding your loud knocking there before.
eo Here We apsnsa ~. door
But sh-.s ~" "iee 'NS
...ncy, now, our pheelinks-for it
wasn't Jinks, the. bore--Jinks, nameless
svermore!
But the form that stood before u.s.. caused
. trembling to come Ger US, and memry
bore US back again TO uays W yore-uays
when ssitems" were in plenty, and where'er
this writer went he picked up interesting
items by the score. Twas the form of our
adsvil,' in an attitude uncivil and ne
thrust bis head within the open door, with
aThs foreman's out O. copy, sir and says
he wants some morsp Yes, like Alexander,
wanted "more !"
Now, this t.locar had already walked
about till nearly desd-be had saunsefed
through the city till his feet was very sore
walked through the street called Dau-
phin, and the byways running of into the
portions of the city both public and OBJ
. scure; had examined store and cellar, and
questioned every nfeller" whom We met,
from door to door, if any thing was stirring
any accidents occuring-not published
heretofore--and met With no success j.; be
would rather kinder guess he felt "a little
wicked at that ugly little bore, with his
message from the foreman, that be wanted
sssomething more
.sNow, it's time you were departing, you
scamp /" cried We, upstartiDg; ''get you
back into the ofice-ofhce where you were
bsfore-or the words which you have spo-
ken will get your bones all broken" (and we
seized cudgel, oakep, that was lying on
the foor.) "Take your hands out of your
pockets, and leave the sanctum door; tell
the foreman there's no &C ", You ugly little
bore Qnoth the devil: "Send him more. "
And our devil, never sitting, still is fit
ting, still is fitting back and forth upon
the landing just outside our sanctum door.
