That combination of literary pre-
dominance, celestial sincerity, sanitary
devoutness, represented by the widely
popular title, DIR. Shrimp, Brevet
NJ. d. certainly exhibits a wonder
fully fine specimen of Caleasieu's able
talent, which we venture to assert will
compare favorably with the most emf
nent that has ever marked the pages
of the worlds great history, even TAX
ing into consideration the many adj
vantages which the present generation
enjoy over those of the past and so
far from holding blind misunder-
standing of those praisworthy attain
ments, which stand relatively to tho
intellectual universe as the sun to the
solar system, he seems to be deeply
impressed with the force OF all his
abilities, and to appreciate his superb
GRITTY over his fellow-creatures as the
emblematic eagle over the remainder
of his feathered kind, aud in the event
of neglect to eulogizc on the part of
his interiors, Mr.. "Shrimp" does not
hesitate to boldly step forward and AS
sumo all the favorable recommendation
deserved, which is simply immense in
quantity, and brilliant in quality.
Mark the sentiment Of his own famil-
Jar tone, clay aside skepticism, blot
out the line Of human prejudice, Join
ranks with social, physical and intel
lectual improvement, and be convinced
of stubborn facts
"Now, to show to tho world how
magnanimous | am" etc, il an express
sion clearly beaIing ont tho tenor Of
"Dr. Shrimp's' intrinsical character
and even though we must retain onr
former idea of one point-that there
may be few remote portions of the
universe that will never sec the brill
liancy of his lofty and magnaninons
spirit, unless it be borne on the wings
of the wind, which he perhaps infeFs
will be the ease-We readily appre-
ciate his iron-clad determination TO
benefit by good example, and also to
inform tho reading public that he has
by some contrivance detected his own
characteristic good works.
Again, he labored sufficiently to
have defined and located every organin
the head of the most intelligent goose,
which proved to be to no purpose but
10 select proper remedy for blow
which had never been received. As
t is decided fact that Mr.. "Shrimp"
makes kind of cross-handed, left
eyed blow, no one need dread their
severity /; neither is it necessary for
lin to prescribe his welI,tried "pat-
mt" remedies.
If the celebrated Doctor really spoke
according to his best judgment, when
10 emphasized upon the idea of such
. happy "consummation," it is very
that he exercises somewhat
deficiency in the skill of prog
ostication. What symptom he ever
discovered to indicate his assumed
Iecisiop, must have been wrongly
Interpreted. But, imaginary visions,
xcited by an overdose of trash reme-
les sufficient TO glut donkey-will
ever do to depend on. Pure aud re-
reshing oxygenous air, aud healthful
.ymnastic exercises, would seem pref
rable instead,
Our sympathetic "Shrimp" seems
0 almost personally feel the repeated
lows TO which his "Sugartown pa
lent" is doomed What contrast
a sentiment this idea inoulcates He
rst grinds with rock, then soothes
nth oil-"St. Jacob's;" his favorite
amedy Being conscientious in ad-
his medicines, he will not
commend what he has not thoroughly
,sted /; aud his motto is, "5e sure
ou take enough"
lnvigorate your muscles, and kick
head, You have not been felt to any
ad effect, neither directly nor indi-
sctly.
There is no forotelling what a dis
ussion Of school matters, which should
9 kept closely to the point, may lead
, perhaps foreign missions in the
nd nevertheless, let goodwill and
attend its entire career,
nd crown its final oonsummation.
Very respectfully, AYToH,
