cd out ut once to circulate petition
for signatures of subscribers who would
withdraw their names from our list.
We were exceedingly amused at the
conspiracy" and were quite anxious
to receive the petition" and learn how
much of our present burden they pur-
posed to remove from our shoulders.
We further purposed Ia do the hand

amount he was owing us from 81 to
S5). But IL seen,s, after all; that their
malice ovcrcame their generosity; for
we have never seen the petition" re-
fcrred to. "Rule or ruin,r II q scheme

men, hut "the boys" make very poor
work of IL. The wiU n good enough.
