proceeds without rhyme, reason or rythm 10 euun-
ciate some divine arcaua which Is profound, a. a
matter Of course, because il Is incOmPrehensihle
and without head OF tail. Neyery respect the aU-
thor Of this poem i fully the equal. Not the SUI
periOr, Of the inspired genius whose ehusiOns are
such a marked feature Of our Saturday crank con-
temporary Of this city. Now if this poet il in want
I Of employment We him TO apply to the

ment to practical nincompoOPs OF his sort. We
respectfully decline - publish the bosh Of such a
genius and will run the risk OF being therefore
called " heartless."
