BfOwnlew Again.

The following is Pren.ice's last. shot at
Brownlow:
Old Brewnlow was never in but one place
where he deserved to be, and that was the
rebel prison. IF he has any morelying to do,
perhaps he had better make haste to do it in
shis world, as he will get his pens and paper
scorched and his ink boiled away in che next.
He has q chronic diarrhoeo Of lies. He could
mo moro breathe an air untitled with his own
lies and curses than one without hydrogen
or oxygen. II he were off the earth, it would
compare much more favorably than it does
with its sister planets. He is no writer
simply brawler, bawler, he vixen, a
male termagant, masculine virago. He is
of the class Of" common scolds," who by an
old law of Great Britain, werc ducked in horse
ponds. he is q villifer, a traducer, calum-
niator of men, women aud children. No ex-
celence, no purity, no heiplessness, is pro.
lection against his yeuomous assaults. He
aims his vengeance alike at the living and
the dead. His venom seeks through the cold
sands of the grave to ind its victim. A bu-
ried body is no more safe from him than from
other grave worms. 81 have lost day."
said the good Roman Emperor, when he re-
membercd to have done no good deed. 81
have lost q minute" -Brownlow might say,
if he remembered no malignant thing. His
heart and life blacken as his old head whitens.
His fathers aoof split-the sons ears, nose
and tongue should be. He deserves to be
kicked until, like the pit lie is going to, he is
bottomless,"
Brownlow has all the worst qualities Of the
Devil, but tie latter, if he,has any redeeming
qualities, is, in comparison with the ParSon"
q Christian gentleman. Brownlow isa rat.
tlesnake, with his rattles at the wrong end Of
him. BE is hog, with. the kink in his head
instead of his tail. If bayonets bristle at him
he can turn the back of his neck and bristle
back with interest. We have ground him
until he is ground hog. We have hedged
him till he is hedge. hog. He ia small
man, but great swine; he may be rich
man but he is poor devil. He is "porcu-
pine rolled up the wrong way" thus pricking
himself to death with his own qu:lls. The
more he writes, the fatter he gets; just as
an adder's head lattens as he becomes furi.
,us. If his head were not Salamander, it
would long since have been consumed by the
hell-fire in his bosom.

noon, when was ready to drop down with
heat aud fatigue, my pilot steered mo TO

those who died there received burial at the

my eyes were fixed upon some heaps Of
dirty, tattered clothes upon the ground,
which presently began to move, and | dis.
covered, to my horror, three miserable
creatures, lean, and covered with odious
sth, lying in different stages Of their last
agony. on the bare stones, exposed TO the
burning rays Of the sun. They had came
here TO die, and no one needed them, or
gave them a drop Of water or morsel Of
food, or even little shelter from the noon

this kind in India, but nothing so horrible.
To insure a climax of disgusts, my guide
led me straight to dog-buicher's shop,
where several Of the nasty, Fat, oily car
cases of those animals were hanging for
sale. They had not been Aayed, but dan
gled there with their smooth, shining skins,
which had been scalded and scraped clean
Of hair, so that at first | took them for
sucking pigs. There were joints of dog,
ready roasted, on the counter, and in the
back of the shop were several cages in
which live hogs were sitting. lolling their
tongues out, and appearing very uncon-
cerned.
saw several cats also, in cages, look
ing very demure; and, moreover, j saw
customers, decorous and substantial look
ing householders, inspect and feel the dogs
and cats, aud buy those which they deem
cd fiuest for the table. The cats did not
like being handled, and mewed loudly.
