Az We announced on wednesday, "rhs Bo-
duSger'' died very suddenly In BIddefOrd,
Tuesday. and. - al things dead should Be
buried, the obscquies were delayed until such .
time - Rev. Petroleum v. Nasty could attend
and pronounce fitting eulogy upon the deceased.
Our reporter WIS present 1t the exercises and
regards them q decidedly fa-ne-real. Mr.. Mas
by was very much affected, whether from real
grief or too much rum and "Dimonacy," be
could not tell, The exercises commenced with
dirge from the ACCORDION In the Chimney
Corner followed by requiem from Mosarfs
Much ado about Nothing, beginning with the
jcwshsrp solo Of
ar was % soon TO no dose f1r,
wonder what wss begun for"
4 Mr.. Nasty then announced the subjeCt Of
his remarks from the text In Job 2i4:l4-"A
man built house without counting tho cost and
without foundation and the wind blew 1t
over" .... ........
In his opening remarks the speaker said that
"Job wul here givin biogrAhcle skount Of his
self. Job had biles and lots Of en-, but he wus
too much for the cussed things and konkered
by sheer grit but all riters agree that he here
referred to his subsekent msmoth undertaken
Of startin q noospaper In the land Of shem and
Jspbeth Ham being In state Of cussitaod at
that time.) But, alars, II was birncss too big
fer him and he failed, like our elokcnt ffen In
the morner's scat.'
Passing from this eIordium the speaker divi-
ded his discourse into three heads I, What
size Il necessary for house; II, What are the
constitutional elements Of wind, III, Why did Il
fall. ..r,'.'... H..
"The dimokratic mind, my frens, Is pecool-
yer one, and Is nobly fitted to be led BY instink
rather than by reson. You can draw more
dimokrats with o pint Of corn whiskey or .
promise Of q post orfs, than with book, while
newspapers Is rs piren to them. This CRATE fac
30 visible to the naked eye Is adopted by our
most suksesful ledcs who we'll no that eduka-
shun Is not our strong holt Tell Diu'okrat
that suthin Is to be made by doin develish
meen thing, and he's your man nine times out
Of ten but enkeragc him to elevate hisself by
learnin to read, and ten to wun by the time he's
gut thru his primer he's guta republican idec
INTO his head that'll be hard to knock out. M
our elokent fren started his Bodugger contrsiri-
wise to this idee, he diskivercd his mistake |;
whereas he has this consolashun that he has
stopt his paper hisself while ef he had continnerd
Il, II might have stopt him. Our frcn not only
found hisself unekal to the task, but he soon
realized that every day he continnerd Il he wa.
maxim II wus for him and the Boduggcr, but
partickrlarly for him, and wus for the dlmokra-
cy and whereas he had only q tail holt afore,
he now has the bull by the horns BY letin the
paper rip, rather than to fight the dimOkratic
idee that ignorence Il bliss.
My frens, next to raw whiskey for genooine
dimokntic sole Is the exercise Of charity for his
failures. Let US ark ourselves how We should
feel ef our failure was Ike his'n. Konsider the
vast promises made and the loss Of prestidgc TO
our striker bruthcr. Kalkilate ef you can the
ridiiool brought upon us by the party Of mud
sills. The loss Of Guttle's niggers was movin
site the biles Of our fren Job was rsythur tuff
but what Is biles to scein ones congreshnel
hopes travel away with litncn speed on ones
own telegnf wires"
