GESTLEMEs: II would bo impossible for a dis.
position still more retiring than my own to resist
the very aattering request contained In your
complimentary letter Of the 17th ultimo, that 1
would, previous to leaving this city, read to you
some Of my poetical writings.

identified With poetlcal efforts, rs the world Is
apt to consider poets as ''drsamers," "impraoti
cal men, &e., and the stern realities Of life made
Il imperative that should avoid such reputa
tion, but being about to leave this city on pill
grimage, as 1t were. 10 that grand new world, u
waterod by tho Pacific Ocean, and which, as
believe Is destined in the future to eclipse ever
its own past wonderful history in all that consti
tutes a magnificent country, the reason has less
force with me. Therefore, II II be your pleas
ure, I shall esteem 1t great honor TO read Ia
you some Of my compositions, Interpreting them
!, with some humorous life experiences, on Monday
evening, June Sd, at NotIerott Hall, In this city
! that being the last day Of my official connection
with the department to which have the homo
to be attached.
With groat esteem, I an, gentlemen, you
a obedient servant.
