For the Democratic Advocate.

MEssRs. EDIroRs Some time ago l took
occasion TO speak in kindly terms of your
distinguished fellow citizen and former deni-
zen of the Fast-Anchored Isle, the Editor Of
the CdIToltonidR, and | desire again to pay
tribute to the worth and excellence of a
gentleman who seems to challenge my admi
ration. Worth will tell, whether in the islands
of old ocean, or on the continents which form
the main divisions of our globe, Why cor
respondent of your esteemed neighbor should
have asked the question he did in the last
issue of the Cdyrolltonidn perplexes me.
Does it not SAVIOUR of obtuseness and want of
appreciation to ask "why the ADVOCATE
people are advertising the CdTrolltonian,
that brilliant and sparkling hebdnmadal, the
successor of that other journal that came like
meteor athwart the brow of night, lighting
its darkness with brilliant but transient
CLEAN, or like a rocket rushing with lurid
glare into the dun profound of the circum-
ambient atm osphere, only to return to earth
charred and blackened stick. Do you ask
why? Think you the ADVOCATE Is not ap-
precative? Why the eminent conductor Of
the organ of the Syndicate was SO heralded
by that body, whose most active agents caused
the trumpets to be sounded before and at his
advent, and the oboe and the hautboy and the
cymbals have been sounding ever since, that
it is no wonder at all that he has achieved so
enviable notoriety.
What less could the ADVOCATE do than to
advertise its neighbor who had been so good
as to advertise it? One good turn, you know,
deserves another, and so these favors and
attentions have become reciprocal, until our
newly, domiciled citizen has become "the
cynosure of all eyes," When he passes by
Al Al es eEsT plRi esE9 g B u f Hear him
The nurse into rapture faIl'n,
Lets her baby fall,
Crapng her neck 10 see him
The kitchen maxim
Pins her lookram bout her Feeohy neck,
Clamhering the walls TO eye him."
1t is something fattering to ones vanity TO
be the observed of all observers, Besides,
yoeArR's advertisement" of the 9lst of
March was worth to them "fve hundred dol
lars have not heard that they have sent
their check to you for that am cunt, but sup
pose they will, as they are not the men to
enjoy the fruits of other peoples labor without
paying for it, So, you may look out for your
$500, and, when you get it, .make note of
tn The Sentinel seems not to have been
regarded as of so much advantage to it, and
it manifests its sensitiveness to this withhold
ing of the coveted "adyeptislng, by frequent
nagging: But, let the manager ofthe Sentinel
bide his time. Let the Syndicate and their
ulA.ati Has AhA HioutS
f7st this brood of secure foolish mioo
Play with your nostrilE
- TIL the time be ripe
Then your opportunity will come. Watch
and wait, for come it will. Coming events
cast their shadows before" This horoscope
is worth the CaToutoRiaR's notice;
Thine Sped and change with time,
The gpdiderer was alone as erst Before
The beings which surrounded him were gone,
Or were At war with him; he was mark
For blight and desolation, composed round
With hatred and contention; pain was mixed
In all which was served up to him. until,
Like to the Pontiac monarch of old days
He fed on poisons, and they had no power,
But were kind Of nutriment; he lived
Though thai which had been death 70 many melt
With his own spirit he communedi
And it did teach him tho magic
OF their hidden mysteries
To him the book Of Fate was opened wide
And voices from the deep abyss revealed
marvel and secret
To him before unknown"
