Show RACY READING. Soon after the insertion, in our issue of two weeks ago, of an advertisement from three young ladies, who expressed therein a desire to correspond with some gentlemen, we received the following letter: Editor Leader; - In reply to the advertisement of these three young ladies I must say I shall be most happy in having an opportunity to unfold the pent up feelings of my soul to one of them. Now Miss Bright may be too luminous for a dull bachelor, and Miss Pepper I fear would be too hot-tempered for one whose heart has never been warmed up by the bewitching smiles and sweet embraces of the fair daughters of the creation. Miss Rayclift - I like the name, for it sounds as if a ray of hope might cleft the impenetrable darkness of a lone bachelor's dwelling and fill it with joyous anticipations - therefore, I would like to correspond with Miss Rayclift on social topics, and if our sentiments harmonize, we may advance to, and dilate upon the most bewitching of all subjects, matrimony. Mr. Hopeful. Logan, Sept. (September) 7, 1880. The party who wrote this should remember that the editor of this paper is in no way interested in the correspondence of these young ladies, or whoever sent that advertisement, and when we inserted it (and we are required by business comity, to insert unobjectionable advertisements that are paid for) we made such comments upon it as should have deterred any sensible person from paying any attention to it. If the writer of this letter wanted to correspond with Miss Rayclift, he should have written to her and not to us. |
