"Would | were boy again"
Being boy again, sounds mighty nice, but as
for myself, have no desire to be great, big,
gawky, lubberly, lummux of Bub neither do
| want to be small enough to be whipped. The
fact is, have had administered to me by parents
and teachers, more "Solomon's Oil - than any
boy ever had and survived; what good it did
me, leave to those who know me best to an
swer. That old aristocratc polygamist who run
a hurdy saloon on a magnificent scale is credited
with saying, "Spare the rod, and spoil the
child" This might have been very nutritious
food for Juveniles in Solomon's time, but in the
nineteenth century, is decidedly foggyish. | am
not fighting any portion of scripture, but must
say, that got disgusting backset ON old Sol,

answer, pleasantly, their many little questions,
and your children will never tell you lie. No
there never was anything born so dumb yet, but

somewhat mixed, as understand the matter,
the Republicans Of Shasta resolve to do the
same thing that the Democrats Of Trinity resolve
to do. Better unite, form Confederacy, annex
South Salmon and go it. For myself, | do not
care how soon it is done, whether by Democrats,
Republicans or the smallpox; only say come
on, boys, am with you. But as long as either
party persists in dragging John into politics,
will neither assist nor try to prevent, have only
one request-look out for pard. The style of
Democratic eectioneering when the nigger was
the hobby, is fresh, no doubt, in every man S
mind. 1t ran somewhat in this wise; "My

same old Democratic oracles approaching the
foreigner with that stereotyped preface, /" My

doubt will follow: " How would you like to
hold two pair, say kings and deuces, and have
a ID Chinaman draw and trays" We
have extremists in both parties, we always will
have such men among us, and let me call the at
tention of such men to the fact, (be honest and
admit facts as they present themselves) that
persecution is only nutriment to any and every
thing, no matter how odous, must be admitted.
Take the Jews-a people that has been persecu-
ted by every nation on earth, they still live and
are doing well so far as know The Mormons-
a Religion gotten up a very short time since by
a crazy people-to-day, that church numbers its
thousands, Houses of worship springing in
all the larger cities, even in Puritan Boston.
suppose persecution has done all this. Then
there's the nigger who has drawn his aces and
trays, and retired with the pot, and now comes
everlasting John as hobby for two political
parties. Only keep the question well agitated,
and the first thing you know, John will draw
four aces, and hoist you clean out of your boots.
Better quietly strlcknine the rice, or take Black
Hawks method of solving the negro question.
Goodbye John, and will change the subject.
