ANOTHER EACY LETTEh tX0MA Gil.
ITALIS1.
We have given several poetic cpistlcs
from the pen Of Ir. Plulner, of Gene
w, N. Y, who is helping us all out by
sending his surplus thousands out here
and lending it TO our people through
Miner 4 Parsons. MIR. T.. recently ex.
pressed desire to see the ''forty-
graphs" Of several citizens and who do
you think the favored ones were? Why,
the four hantlsomest men in town, Of
course, Real Estate Agent Parsons, the
Register OF Deeds, the Clerk of the
Court, and-wcll, modesty, you know
forbids. The ''groop'' were plotoctl
10y Chidlt'y and sent OH to plumer to
sample, and here's the result:
GENEVA, June 80, 1873.
DEAR P.-fetlng that twice what
could be gwen would he expected Of Il
rythmic acknowledgements of that
shadOwy quartette, in simple prose :ll-
low Inc to thank the substance OF said
| shadows, sincerely several times.
ln:tt IOuF OI TIC NlSC Illcn Nl inc west,
Should drop their lal"rS and Il IL their hest,
And sink their dimes in i group Of shades,
That hint OF health and the frost that fades,
Hath touched, ;lh, touched shall it he denied,
Our manly heart with u nan'cless prize.
Yes T., to feel that dimes, time, and
toilet had been squantlcretl Oh the Gu
rl0us Whim Of a strangers gaze, swamp
ed us III obligations and conceit.
When 10, on came with the ADVANCE
the Chidley picture reduction All
nOuncement. Frost to orr fancy-S0c
for Il shadow, and groups in proper
ton:
| Yet, paradnNical, Ills clear,
| With sense Of debt rs deep,
Wy no d your pl.a an, Types as dear,
10 the Physiognomist your gathered
shades Il curious page has been from
their reception. Character has been
yariously read by various eyes I'LL along
between the trust Of ParSOn and
teachery Of Il pi"te. Miller is ofteaest
mistaken for i preacher. 80 Spiritu-
and I'LL that. IA face that Il child
might climb to kiss, if good climbern
was suggested of Carrier. "kindly,
but Careless" Of Chadwick, and ''dasIl
and devil'' of mud broker Parsons, are
u few of the multiplying notches OH
the treachcrOuS scale OF the average
pliZ reader.
| 80 would some power the giftic gic us,
TO see ourselves rs Others see u.s."
Even through shadows, WAS happily
prayed, yet happily unanswered. BY
the-Way, how abo 1T the ague i'll your
section? Report says that your fresh
turned acres are sinks of malaria that
would shake the rattles from the tail
Of Il nlassaSauger. However, rs the
ADVANCE don't say so, there must he
some mistake about it. Miller makes
his paper Il credit to the country, don It
he? have frequently made it All i'll
spiratiOn to the slow of faith among
our lenders. A country that can at
tract and support such brains, can pay
II per cent. and twice that on Il pilc,,
they agree. have just come in from
4 ten mile ride, and such crops
''Wllat shall the harvest be,' is one
question, and what shall he done will,
the harvest, quite another this year.
You asked me to swap shadows Tom
but you'd sling verses ut it, and can Il
stand i'm. Long live the qu:lrtette.
MAY their shadows, etc, etc.
Yours truly,
j. NJ. PLUMER.
That paragraph about the ague is
good! Why there isn't ague enough in
this country, and there never has beer
enough, to keep doctor in chewing
tobacco. There are a few cases nov
and then occurring in families which
live near the lakes, but that this in AL,
sense whatever malarial or an agut
country is as absurd a notion rs thai
Minnesota is an arctic region of ice
bergs and white bears.
We have tried the climates of Ohio
New York, Virginia and Al kansas
and if the best features of all tlles'
were extracted and put into one, the.
would not make a climate equalling tina
of Minnesota. We have seen scores o
people come to Minnesota looking lean
sallow aud sickly and in a few months
they have come out looking plump ant
fresh, and full of vim to lay hold AM
carve out their fortunes. We do no
say this is always the case, but this i
the rule. We have more bright days
more energy to the square inch, ant
more fresh aud breezy enjoyment to TIL
minute than we have seen under all,
climate we have ever tried.
Thanks to Plumer for what he say
about the ADVANCE. We have abund
ant assurance that it is doing goo
work not only at home but abroad, an
we expect soon to enlarge our facilitie
for making it still better paper.
