DEAR EDITOR without any particular
reason, my pen has not been employed for
the annoyance of you or your readers for
some time. Rainy days have been plenty,
and leisure evenings sufficiently long. IT
doesn't seem proper for me to be scrib-
blin so much, while you and your paper
have so many friends scattered through
the West. But so il is sometimes, he that
has least to say says the most. Such wri-
ters as "Sallie c." and "Mary B."
and others, arc always interesting If
nothing more, my not, by precept or
example, move them t. the qualification
of your readers?
One is very apt to think himself about
the centre of the world. But l have at
least two reasons for thinking differently.
The first is: we would suppose somewhat
Of Stiffness in that vicinity, but we have ex-
perienced considerable of Shaking" here
tabouts for some months past did not
know but it might shake some of us out.
The other reason is, that ga. j." drew his
"circle" just in sight. L should have sent
you an account of his short tarry at our
model town, Bunker Hill. The calls and
cheers for others prevented other demon-
straton on his part, than with hat in hand,
as he stood on the platform, (whethor
holding or being held the "eye-witness'
did not say,) as far as eye could see, was,
bowling to an imaginary crowd on either
side. But "peace to his ashesl" The 9th
of Nov. shows he is not forgotten.
