To the Editor Of the Daily Spy: SIR am
an intelligent animal with grievance. My
master is uniformly kind and patient: feeds inc
well and keeps me clean, but he steadily insists
upon my drawing heavy load of wood to your
ancient aud honorable city every day. OF this,
by itself should not complain. But the road
over which have to draw it is the difficulty. In
vain l have tossed my head, whisked my tail
and stamped my foot to manifest my indigna-
ton. | am still driven over what is in dry
weather bed Of binding dust, which fills my
sweaty skin at every pore with irritating
particles of granite-in wet weather is knee deep
in sticky, Shiny mud which adheres to my own
limbs and to the wagon wheels, until it is i'm
possible for me to draw more than half an
ordinary load and makes my mastcr-usually the
calmst man know-indulge in language which
theologians call profane. Then, the first frost
that comes, this mud is hardened into millions
of small Jagged points and ridges, over which
slide and stumble, till the wagon is nearly erlIed
off its wheels, and every Joint in my body is
sTiff and sore. Now all this is enough to worry
any intellectual animal that meditates concern
ing causes and effects, into premature cats
meat. have stood awake in my stall many a
night bordering on the reason which could in
duce my owner, who is generally careful of my
comfort to suffer such state of things to con-
tinue. And it was only the other day that [
accidentally discovered that he had no power to
prevent it. On the road we met an acquaintance
who observed in an eXasperated tone, " Deuccd
bad wheeling, captain" We were then on about
the worst piece of road between Paxton and
Worcester, and my driver had been muttering
curses on some one for several minutes, and
was, therefore, not surprised to hear hurst
forth, eyes, mister, | wish those cursed fellows
who have the care of this road were all laid
down here in a row; their heads might serve
for wooden pavement" This speech caused
me to prick up my ears to their stralghtest.
Here was clue to the real authors of my mis-
fortunes. The only problem now was how to
get at them. Cogitating last night over the
matter, brilliant idea came into my head. My
master reads the Daily Spy, and i have often
heard him remark: "Well done, Mr.. Editor,
you are the man to remedy abuses" Wen, |
thought, surely this gentleman will say word
for me, and forthwith began TO write this let
49, -" P'iht II, uVdl III Lu'u'' ""' WI 'iVoo
gentlemen not TO cart the mud from the bitches,
and pretend to mend the road with it. | and
my fellow-Sutferers do not wish to threaten, or
intend to be insubordinate, but our righteous
wrath compes us to say, that unless some RENE
dy is provided, and that soon, we will, one and
all, refuse TO draw another stick of wood to Wor-
cester this winter.
