Letter Writing

It is a frightful thing to do, to
write a foolish letter; some day its
fatal lines you'll view, and murmur,
"Donnerwetter The man to whom
you send the, note will meyer let 1t
perish; and some day it will get the
goat that you SO proudly cherish.
The years may pass and you may
think the letter all forgotten, all
faded doubtless is the ink, the paper
fluffed and rotten. But foolish let
ters never fade, or decompose or
shrivel; of things eternal they are
made, preserving words uncivil.
And in your hour OF pon1p and pride,
when luck could not seem better,
some grouchy foeman, evil-eycd, will
spring your foolish letter. And you
will totter from the heights to chaos
and effaccment, and all the scornful
village wights will laugh at your
abasement. If you have sentiments
SO strong they ciamor.for an airing.
go to the woods, where, loud and
long. man may do his swearing.
Proceed to yonder mountain top,
when you feel full of ginger; there
you may make the welkin fop-your
future you won't injure. But when
you take your fountain pen and put
your wrath on paper, you'll hear
from that fool trick again--it is a
senseless caper.
