How to Cuss an Editor.

The number of obsolete words that
are to be found in complete diction-
ary of the English language is con-
siderably larger than the people have
any idea of. The following letter,
written by an alleged poet to an edi-
tor who had treated his poetry with
derision, furnishes some idea of
them:
''Sir: You have behaved like an
envious of any moral celsitude, carry
their unglicity to the height Of Great
ing symposiacally the fecund words
which my polymathic genius uses
with liberty to abligate the tongues
Of the weetless! Sir, you have crassly
parodied my own pet words, though
they were trangams!
Il will not coascervate reproaches
I will oduce a veil over the atra-
mental ingratitude which has cham
fered even my indiscerptible heart.
am silent on the focillation which
my coadjuvancy must have given
when offered to become your
fantor and adminicle. I will not
speak of the lippitude, the oblepsy
you have shown in exacerbating me,
one whose genius you should have APP
preached with mental discalceation.
So I tell you, without superyacaneous
words, nothing will render ignoscible
your conduct to me.
Il warn you that | would vellicate
v0itr. nose if 7 fhoI1phf that any mora I
diarthrosis thereby could be per,
formed if thought should not inn
pignorate my reputation. Go, tachy-
graphic scrogIe, hand with your Grass,
inQuinate fantors! Draw oblectations
from the thought if you can of having
synchronically lost the existimation
of the greatest poet since Milton"
And yet all these words are to be
found in the dictionary Tit t-Bits.
