To the Editor of the Evening Journal
SIR The editor of the Delaware City
News seems TO be In desperate straights
Falling to procure from the Benson
murder trial all the profit, honor aud
glory that his vain imagination
prompted him thnt such a distinguished
parsonage ought to be entitled to,
he came forth in his last issue
bowling like q belated ghost that
had been overlooked ia a resurrection
He charges all his trials and hindrance
TO one common and obscure railroad
hrakeman-who had failed TO cringingly
approach this man of great intellect and
of high rank and standing in his profes-
sion, and beg his everlasting forgiveness
for what he chose to term Sin Justice done
him" Therefore this common brakeman
was greatly TO be abhorred And this
great scribe smote upon his breast and
sworo vengeance against him Now, Il
was not always thus. In
former days had trials and tribu-
lations beset this wise mans
path. And in those days IL was his
won't TO turn unto this common brake
man. saying, "disrobe thyself, and bend
unto this mighty rule--thy oyercoat-for
| must needs appear on the streets of the
city and in high places clad in proper
raimont and my shattered frame thor
oughly protected from the chilly blasts
Of a wintry season.
Through the sympathy OF this
common brakeman was he many times
enabled TO Journey forward, and on such
occasions did he ever fail TO boast Of his
earthly possessionsl
His teachings were continually Of his
own Importance and power, giving
common and obscure men TO understand
how they must stand ia perfect awe Of
him. Now 1t came to pass among his
many other wants he wanted this
common brakeman TO believe all he said,
but many and grave obstacles prevented
this-for il so happened that this great
scribe had aworn upon his oath before a
coroner's jury.
The minds Of the jury were filed with
doubt and in their hearts they believed
not, so speaketh they one with another.
II was now about the beginning of the
new year and all who dwelt in the same
house with this great scribe were greatly
amazed, for the keeper of the house
spake unto this great scribe and imme-
diatoly he departed from thence, leaving
behind him unsettled accounts and nu-
merous other articles, and the lender Of
some Of these articles awaiteth their re-
turn, even, unto this day.
An this it seems, must needs he and
many wonderous tales were yet TO be
told. by this great scribe. for he needed
not the Divine injunction; "a fool is
known by the multitude of his words
And many were the sad calamities
wrought upon him. for he speaketh not
as man speaks, but as q kidder and kid
ding though he be, the tormcnts of an
evil conscience endureth forever And
10, and behold the second condition Of
this man must needs be worse than the
first.
The power descended upon him and in
l great agony was he carried away in a
dream, and surely his works followed
him, for he went straight TO the place
whore he belongs.
But he ceased not his kidding, for il is
well known, by the multitudes, that it
| required no card Of introduction TO Satan.
Satan already knew him and has known
him from youth mp, and Satan is about
the only being that cares 70 have any in
/ tercourse with him therefore, his recep.
! tion was exceedingly warm But
even in those dark regions was the
I abiding place Of this great scribe OF short
] duration Whether or not Satan, in his
wrath, removed him by the same means
and for the same reason he did TON
/ Pepper the great scribe does not re-
late, which is exceedingly sorrowful, for
/ the region Of fire and birthstone would
best suit the circulation OF the dirty
sheet he so poorly publishes, and his
devil" would not have TO kick for his
pay. neither would there be board bills
there TO worry him. and the climate
/ is such he would not need to borrow an
overcoat from a common
BRAKEMAN.
