Sib,—-I read, a notice about the ball an' supper to be given by the1.0.0.F.,M.U., LD'O'HL'L P. Maybe they are going to tache the ABC besides giving the sup,pernor 10a 6d. '; Tickets, 10s ,6d—cock them up with 10s 6d. Do they think that everybody is a Hathen like themselves, that would be after making a glutton ay ating 10s 6d ay any kind ay mate. Faith an' sure I could aisy drink' that much in whiskey, but that same is dacent, an' sure the public house will be making you welcome when he knows you can drink, but ay you make a Hathen ay yourself with ating, you had better be walking on. The way we'do that is the way the Fanians do. Faith an' sure the boys, avick, get their wives to, cook the mate, and ay coorse everything is made nice ' an' nate for the ball. So to make things go off well, we get a wee drop av*the crature jist to drink the healths ay all our great men. You percaive.the ixpinseis small, ah' it makes it aisy for every body to the ball for a thrifts, and at the same time''every body is made to feel coritint for the rason that the poor is admitted on tbV same terms with the rich. Being a F&riign myfelf, an' wishing to see everyone put bright .in matters of friendship, I would., euggest that the, alphabetical society ay which I am.writing will be guided' by these few remarks, an' charge rasonable, an' depind upon it their ball will be a greater succiss. I am, &c, ■ ' FANIAN.-
