which his sex should possess, since
he is SO wholly deficient in de-
scribing those lie would have our

think you have-but 10, no, no, you
mean a hon.e'y, perhaps a comedy
one, now don't you? Beware of
how yen write of us, or else, long
before your "sexagenarian birth

your loquaeious, garrulous tongue,
will make your head devoid of
hair-make you bsld-bdld we say,
with emphasis, and your "only way
TO escape will be to suicide"
Now, dear friends of the "fairer
