A MYSTERIOUS TARGET.
To the, Editor. Sir, —Religious fanaticism is a sound now and again reiterated through various journals, revealing the dexterous characteristics of the archers of the nineteenth century, but the object of their aim is of so peculiar a character after receiving numerous showers of arrows, as to represent an immense porcupine But our eloquent and affectionate archers must recollect they are responsible for the members of their own gallery, after betraying such competency in the art of war, and are in nowise to be offended, if the object of their delightful vengeance fight them with their own. Should duty lead him to walk in that avenue which encircles a beautiful lake, whose fish are clad with golden scales, the elite visiting must in nowise be offended if ho wear the livery he received from their soldiers in arms. If my enemy show mo greater kindness than my friend in law, which of them ought I to love most?—l am, &c., WIIIPr’D WITH MY OWN. [We publish this as a specimen of the mysterious letters we occasionally receive. To us it is equivalent to an unknown tongue, but there may be those who understand it. —Ed. E.S.]
