 Oh, could there in this world be found {, Some little spot of happy ground Without the village tattling;
 How doubly blest that spot would be- Where all might live in liberty, Free from bitter misery
 Of gossip's endless prattling. of Oh, that the mischief making crew
 Were all reduced to one or two, Il And they were painted red or blue,
 That every one might know them. l :. .: sOMERs. 5J ssSE [ooRREsPoNDENcE.l ! Robert Pease has severed his connec tiOn with Kibbo Bros & Go of Snrinp
