We have received tíxtm N. H.

Thri was wbftt we tncant, and cali it " green eyed jcalouay and euvy," or whatever you pleao. j ust think of our pnns-pioud and stuck-up brother gloating over lus possessions and counting hia gold, and tlien twitting us of being on our " laat legs " (a very good pair yet) ; of having only boen kopt "from starvation" by the fiee run of the Probate Office, &O. Is n't it jolly t Witness him pointing to his " ñno office building " and " magnifloently furnished office,' and theu to our " third floor " office, " smelling of dust " in a " rickcty building " (wa don' own it brothor Pat. and aro not to blame i'oi its beiug "rickety"); next to lii palatia] "ad joining residence" nul Uien to our dmgy hovel, oxclaiming " all this is the product of my brain tho sweat of my brow, tire èvidonce of raj thrift and enterprise and mañey-getting pobrera :and of roxD's lack of 'the flrst business ijualiiicatiou.'" ïsn't it " aggrawaüng 't" But then, neighbor, fools and bcggars and misers have been known to accumulato money and die rich; Bpongaa and give back notliing ; borea aro given patronage to get rid of thüin : so that your uupieoedsmted and unparalleled prosperity may not iurnisli tho slightest eridence that commuuity is any the better for it, or that yoi have rcturned value reccivcd for wliat you have gottén to yourself. But we will iet our !'jmmercial iriend teil tho secret of his success in his own way: A little over nine years ago we befran, borrowing the money to start our office. Have given ali public offices the jio-by, not even attending a iiolitical convention if it interfered with our business. We oould not ufford to boeome nn Al derman ot accept School Boud honors, or any other oilice for the mke of the petty, insignificant driblinü's. We liave liid higher "game," and Lave sncceeded in bagging it. That's it ! get money and keep it. Abeorb and never gire out. Work on!; for pay and be aura of pay in filthy lucre. Serve your party in your office at a fixred price, and your country and God in the,same "fi-ay. Never " attendidg a politieal convention if it interferes with business " - and then winning for politieal patronage !

Get and keep. Why,inan, we don't know the estímate you mt upon your immense acquisitions, but we venure to say that the services we have givcn the rablic on School Boairds and Cemetery lioards ind iii ther positions of trust - not proiit - igured at 'Coramon day-laborera' wages would ïave netled us more than your magnificent ffice and palace residence are worth, ccrtainly wice or tliree times what the Supervisor values all your possessions at. And though these laors ior the public - lor years taking moro time lian was left to oui' bvrtS business - may ha been foolishly "bestowed as you would reckon, ve have the consciousncss of having been soraehing besides a leech upon the bodies politie and ocial. And whon those "last legs" can carry us no longer we hope that the good we havo ried to do in this way w i 1 1 be rememberod to ur credit though our bank account may bé can.
