had gone to another Office Gin the city

given him d paper, but, to his sur
prise, on presenting it to the people,
most of them turned away from it in
disgust. On inquiring into the cause
of his want of success in raising

This little incident demonstrates
more clearly than words the shape the
friendship for the soldier, entertained I
by the Courier, always assumes. If
partylccapital can be made out of 1t,
no paper is more profuse and verbose

further from doing it than the editor
of that paper. We think the soldiers
are already aware Of this. So palpa-
bleis it to large MAJORITY of our citi-
gems, that they manifest no surprise
at any additional exposure in that
line. .SEcI&a W CT
