Of the superabundance of matter, We
lighted upon this, by Dean Swift: The

of matter and q scarcity Of words; for
whoever is q master of language and

speaking 10 hesitate upon the choice Of

turned to Garland, with alarm painted
on my face, and said;
Why, Peter, You big ass, where have
you been in the last two weeks? Haven't
you heard anything about the fellow
down there pretending to take historic
pictures? He is a spy in the employ of
the Federal government. We've Just

than it took him to say: Ny heavens +
