WHO IS THE KNockER.

The above question seems to US a
pertinent one So much is said about
the knocker that It is really desirous
to know who and what he is? We
have never seen a very definite and
positive description Of him. even by
those who have so muc. to say about
him. Judging. however, from what
is said and the character Of those who
say it, we are LED to conclude con-
cerning the knocker as follows:
He is one who would like to see
things better. and then
making them so The knocker Is one
who does something, especially
against existing evils. Every reform
er is a lnocker. Martin Luther vas

Eng. and some others we might men
tion, till they hardly knew which end
they were standing on. In fact, they
had to maintain a pretty good bal
ance to keep standing at all. There
we're knockers, however before his
day. Sayonatola was one, Paul was
another They lost their lives on ac.
count of it. They were bad men and
got what they deserved according to
some OF our present solons (Espec-

out Of the band box, and the night is
only Just on. No doubt Hennessey is
good enough for these fellows, with.
out any improvements. So are some
other places. Every minister who
actually does something against the
saloon. gambling and other evils is a
knocker. So is every one else who
joins battle with the devil and his
forces. Hurrah. for the knockerl He
is needed. He is doing something.
The bit dog always yelps Let the

the chips fall where they may"
