Dips in sulphuric acid his trenchant pen,
And laughs laugh of ghoulish gee,
And disparages in print his fellow.men
From gulf to lakes, from sea to sea-
He writes of capital wrongs that curse the
age,
Observed through eyes that must he blind ;
With inconsiderate haste, page after page,
He writes of various evils-in his mind
In Cumberland off rotten scheme or plan
In Homecoming of some henous otfense;
That, by some cowardy semblance of a man !;
This, by skunk unworthy Of confidence
Though anxious friends implore him, he

Zen the universal earth should say him

But someone we fear, will crack him on the

And then there'll be the merry old boy to

The Reason Why.

A subscriber asked the JOURNAL the
other day
Why does the Forum try to resent every
thing you say except about the electric light
contract business?
Because, like everything else it and
its scurrllous correspondents attempt
to defend-it is indefensible.
