turn his poverty and sores into capital to get him
bread and butter The parallel goes still further.
We also read that Lazarus dead that lac stank.
but that he apparently brought back to life 1t
must have been only apparent, for we never hear a
word of him afterwards We suppose therefore, that
he made a brief spurge, never amounted to a row Of
pins, and sank into his normal deafness. We
imagine, for instance, that during the brief time he
was arisen from the dead, he devoted his time and
energies to endeavors to get up n conglomerate Coun
ty ticket for his especial benefit to be supported
by Democrats, .peeple," and sorehead Republicans;
but having in many consecutive years. gone hack
all three of these parties, of them had any
confidence in him, and he made miserable fiz1e Of
