That III. c. Again.

For litE iRES5.
We are sorry that Mr.. II. G. has such a
poor opinion Of his friend, More Anon,
yet hope that he will not disgrace himself
by undertaking to make the public believe
that he is wise. Think of il Mr.. H. c., that
there is more hope of a fool than of him
who is wise in his own conceit. We know
you are wiser than we, for you received
full pay for your work, while We received
only % per cent. We hope that you will
always get your pay for all you do with
out any trouble, for you are such a fine
gentleman. You can get your board, and
whiskey for nothing, except when the pro-
prietor orders you away from the table or
from behind the counter. but ii was dear
business for the saloon keepers Of Somer-
set. Now you poor splay footed-troglodyte
what do you expect but personal attacks,
when you misrepresent things. Do you
think yourself king, knight or idiot,
for IL seems that no one has right to cay
anything about you, or else they ought
not to take any notice of you. A great
deal has been said about the seven wise
men Of Greece; but our wise counsellor of
Somerset must be let lone, for he is such
fine gentlempn, and fine writer, and he
uses such fine language. Read Mat. Is ch.
and 11th verse; and be wise. You seem to
be pretty we'll versed in the scripture, you
would make fine missionary to go among
the hea.hens, for you could use such fine
language. We are surprised that men who
have seen and heard SO much would make
such expressions as "brazen faced, blubber
Tipped, foul mouth, blatherskite." Yet
you are gentleman and it shows your
breading. Thank you for the expressions.
You ore nice man and we will give you
drink some of these days when you are in
the office. You are just what we thought
you we're. That you did not know any
more about stone work than red COW did
about the moon. Where have you ever
superintended public works, bah tell us
another one.
The public need not ask Mr.. Baker, fol
they know very we'll what was the reason,
and we car tell you that the contractor
spent too much time with you at the office
holding consultation as to the best mode Of
getting up another puff for the Hedrld
which was the cause of our writing to the
Press. Now Mr.. II. c., when you get W
such pufs again you will plese to keep COO
and lay low, or else you will ge. yoursel
into h,a;naaa auoh "a yo,, b.J "a Vono.r:II,
when you got your nose skinned.
We care but little about yon, nor wha
you say about us, for we are not compelled
10 remain silent even when wise men tai
Therefore do not be deceived. We hav
met sharper men than you before, and W
expect to meet more. You poor fellow
pretend to know something about ston
work, and you exposed your knowledge G
the same in your last. Who ever hear
that the class OF stone work did not lie i
the cutting or laying but in the quarryinl
Yet you are bestowing great praise on th
boss of the quarry, for IL was the most di
hcult prat to superintend. Shurely Bo
ought to supe rintend the abu,ments with
out your assistance.
Mr.. Baker found the quarry in as goo
condition as four men could keep il, fc
Bobs credit seemed to be declining and /
could not get men to work for him, an
Mr.. Baker had to promise that he woul
see the men paid before he could get al
more men to work there. He also had
make the same promise to those that we
there or they would have stopped wor
And that 10 what Mr.. Baker found when
was ut the quarry, we have one eonsol
tion and that is that the prayer Of the u
righteous availsth nothing. Try again N
II. You Mr.. III. G. will please 10,
after your own interis. hereafter and dol
