Our poetical Commissioner of Public Works
ought TO resent the slight that has been put upon
his verses by retiring u some scquestered spot, Tar

! patience the fruit of his sublime musings. The
/ Hudson River tunnel would be good place for the
poet to retire to. And the people will wait with
| nexhaustbe patience for him to emerge.

placed upon it by other countries. Ii the Mar

protect their own lives 1t can hardly DO expected
