A WoRo TO TIKI W1sE.-Beingg in the
condition of the Happy lrishman whose
only shirt was limited to . dickey, we
feel constrained to inform some of our
friends that if we doa,t see the color ol

they will make the acquaiDtace Of a Sber'

up with such behavior u great while long

"sweet milk Of human kindness " in our
tender bosom is becoming clabbered at
this treatment. W. occasionally cat

fraternally, paternalIy, but we hope not
eternally. This appeal, we know, will fall
upon our readers with saint-like influence
and cause their responsive bosoms to
glow with delight at relieving the print
er's necessities. In our vision we see
them fastening with all speed to throw
their verdant treasures, in the shape of
greenbacks, at our feet. We shall re,
ceive them with open arms, eve as the
forgiving father receives his penitcnt son,
and if somebody will lend us a fatted
calf right merrily shall it be slaughter
ed to row the joyful festivities. This is
the bumbug way Of dunning-now for the

legal advertisements due this office will
