Mr. Editor:


The last "Guard" has been shown me- in
which are two communications peculiarly
adapted to IFS columns. The one over the
signature of Review is bunging attempt
at wit. by the Joe Miller of the Bar, who
prefers relying for success in his cases upon
anecdotes, which he appropriates to himself
from every quarter, rather than the law,
which he has never read. The resemblance
between himself and his ovine acquaintance
which he has introduced in vulgar anec-
dote Ia the conc fusion of his communication,
occurred to me as so very striking that
shall never see the one without thinking of
the other. There is a musical ALTERATION,
too, in their names, which would almost
tempt one to weave them together in bal
lad; and if the writer had given US the an.
cient ballad 10 which lie has referred. !
would have attempted a parody in which
"R **~* and his ram" should both have
had showing, and divided the honors be-
tween them. | have always thought that
the writer of that article would in due time,
abandon his ridiculous aspiration after office
and distinction, and come down to things
more upon, level with his merits and his
understanding, and find that | was not mis-
taken. "God gIveth short horns to the mis-
chievous OK" He will do less harm as the
writer of vulgar squibs Tor an obscure village
newspaper. than he might have done in 9TH
er stations which he dill MT reach; & | con-
graduate him upon having at last found an
employment which will compel tardy and
ungra:eful public to appreciate his talents
and his taste. =.
