My! My! My What is to become OF poo
Maurice" Why you are more obtuse "
than ever. You seem to have lost your powers
of conception as well as remembrance. Who
would ever thought of chasing our articles as
" romantc?" Can any one discern any 'ro-
nance " in the phrase seeming obtuseness
of comprehension" And as for " school boys
becoming critics." we will-unlike yourself
not attempt through egotism of self to laud
praises indirectly upon our own article. We
know they are deficient IN rhetorical as Well as
grammatical construction. They lack that
superfluous elegance that attaches to yours
yet withal we have not given the school boy
opportunity to criticse ~ our neglect to use
the signs of quotations. AS for making q
public matter of what you considered private
affair." what is wrong with you? You told the
public all. you began 1t and have simply kept
1t up, revealing new things every time. You
want the public to know you are ." The people &"
at " Newtown " don't you?
And On what a gushing egotstical. over
flowing of self-laudation is found in the follow
ing" But fortunately we were well known"
All yes. you are well known, You are the
great" an - of BedIngton. Again you wrote
previously" for the benefit OF the public in
general" Generous benefactor Lexington
should be proud of you, you who are capq-
BILE and VINO look with such feelings of CON-
passion upon the weakness and ignorance of
the public in general" you seem to contem-
plate us with anxiety, why indeed Mauri ce "
may your course with the Newtown friends
be as placid and peaceful as the gentle Zephyrs
OF summer eve. and may no turbulent waves
overshadow or dim your prospects.
Now, Maurice, | do not want TO give You
away in the "Colored Sister" las you term herr
affair. But that Philadelphia Cigar matter
would be a sumner and don't you forget II.
You must stand in pretty aceit with your sister.
By the way we are to get our just Tetribu-
tom" we hope so. We had no idea we were in
hicting upon you punishment that you could
consider merciless. Trnth Will hurt some
times. you know, MAURICE" This is final.
