The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1866-02-14
Hit Him Again.--The gentleman


having charge of the Weather Bureau IN i
this department. of ,Uhclesaniton, indubi-
tably belongs to the Wtatller'c6ck school
offpolitics; so intent is he on fiatterihg
the tastes of each and all of his constituency
that he pleases none; this is done, we sup
pose, with the polite purpose of making
his high positiotl permanency; for, like
all other politicians, Notwithstanding his
fickleiess and love Of change, he has a
keen eye to the Interests of No. l, and will
hold on to the loaves and fishes with as
tenacious grasp as the most persistent of
our Court House ihcumbents. He infiicts
on us such friSid mornings that the poor
wight, whose necessities compel him to
sally forth in hot p haste, incontincntly
finds himself stretched OH a bed of CONCEAL
ed mud, by no means "soft as downy pill
lows are" Gathering himself up with
What speed he ihay, he. mournfully rubs
his bruised and abraded hide, and with a
rueful countenance betakes him again to
his onward course. By dint of shuffiing,
slipping, sliding, he at length arrives at
HIS place of business. and mounts the stairs
grumblingly likening himself unto the un-
fortunate DR.. Deloone; -a#-H
i.who broke no bones. bit brdised his meat
From the of his head to the sole of his feet"
IIdtiiig devoted the requisite number
of hours to the winning of his bread, GER
tain admonitions from the abdominal re-
gions warn him to again seek his shanty,
in order to replenish his bread basket. In
his haste, he observes not that the sun is
shining brilliantly, and that all things have
assumed the melting mood when, ker-
chuck, he souses up to the holes in the tops
of his boots into pool of creamy mud
which, hid il the requisite a,lhesiveness'
would serve to mail all the newspapers in
Chfistehdom, the Pioneer iiicluded, leaving
a respectable .surplusage, sufficient te
soil all the boots in Upper Sandusky
besides ornamenting the ladies' ample
skirts with a beautiful ''yaller" edging
Having tloundered his way through this
mishap he wades his way home. and solaceS
himself with such edibles as are at hand
the while resting his bones. '.Time's upH
and ht ifiust again commit himself, as he
supposes, to the mud and sunshine; but
alas for the changes of an hour! on pre-
senting his front to the elements, he finds
the only cheering feature withdTdMn, and
is saluted on either cheek with the sting OF
the icy hail-drop, or the plash Of the pear1y
rain-drop; through these he battles his
way to the scehe of his toll, Where he drives
the quill, sticks the types, or shotes the
jack-plane, as the case may be, Until Ole
Sol, himself Beginning to weary; seeks his
western couch, bidding rude Boreas pipe
his cutting airs until his Sunship is lulled
Ito re.t between the blankets of his OWL
fires. How different With the poor shiver,
ing Sanduskian as he takes his way to hi:
domicil for the night-the cutting blasts
which but soothingly fan the brassy check
of the old chariOteer, so fiercely assiil hin
and cut between the MARROW and the bone
that the poor wretch in desperation cling:
with a deathly clutch to his own coat tail
to prevent his body corporate beiI1g dis
persed to the four wiiids of heaven.
Can these things be borne alWay? Mr.
Weatherman, you have hitherto turned
deaf ear to our soft pleadings and gentl,
remonstrances, and with an 'uppish.' erea
arrogance which is but too characteristic
of many our political official Somebodies
have refused to restrain your vagaries ant
cease tormenting we poor dwellers in thu
tents of Time, whose only apparent destiny
is incessant toll, that we may fill the Golfer
of the victualler and the baker, the tailo
and the dressmaker, ct id.-we rebel! W.
notify you that hereafter we shall rain
hail, snow and pour upon you good rount
words Of wrath and yituperation, an "
cease not your ''pitiless peltings'' ant
freezing contempt of our feelings. Beware
Sir Weathercock! for the future, we dea
with you with an unbuttoned foil.
