been writing up the sheriff OF the
county, all ex-governor, and a very
lovely woman. for want of better sub
jects. in the absence of an Associated
Press to furnish texts. When the Post,
thinking, no doubt. as our witty toast
master did, that it had an easy victim,
fired an editorial at me, alleging that L
had fOund'a soft soap mine everything
was mining out there, l responded
next morning with the following poem.
the manuscript of which, am happy to
say, has been preserved for the benefit
of posterity:
''Great renoyator of the human racel
Great cleanser of the human face!
Thy potent art removes each stain
From dirtiest mortal on this sphere mum
dane.
'Tis sad to think. thy mystic spell
Can't penetrate within the shell,
And to q soied. perverted heart
Cleanliness and purity impart.
Thy subtle essence, heretofore confined
In bars of Windsor. toilet cakes refined,
In Coigates honey for the BARRIERS brush
And shapeless masses much resembling
slush.
Has now according to our evening sheet,
Been found in ledges, known as feet
To use the language of the Post i'll fine
The Great Appeal has found a mine.
And having now much soap TO spare,
Soaps governors-sheriffs-ia fair.
How sad it is, with all this soap.
To know there's not the slightest hope,
IF all the Cinnamon in town
sh ,uld wash it up, and wash it down,
AID scrub till it gave up the ghost,
Of whitening the Evening Posi-"
That fellow never attacked me again.
The only success L claim to have
An in in
nalism, is the fact that got out of it
without my identity being discovered.
| can safely relate the incident now
that the statute of limitations has run
against such youthful indiscretions.
