RAM SYEN’S PETITION.

‘' • ■ ELEGANT ENGLISH. i ' ■ The following amusing composit ion recently appeared in an In- ' dian paper:— “Most Preserved Sir, —I am - humble man and great family, > large suns and daughters with magnified appetites, much often ► have I written to grate notorious "gentlemans, who have terribly failed in goodness, therefore your r ■ honour will not be considerably angered with me, for because though not altogether completely dead for want of money, I am much harmed man and magnanimously anxiously for display of my talents. It is a’ great sheer pity all my big education is going horribly cast aside. Your honour J am like one man is what the English poet calls ‘ born, blowing unseen,' and your honour is the P.W. Dept, with its great sercuiated Dept, building big walls and bridges, which falling down no , matter for that, make the money and because your mighty honour is now completely dismissed for procuring the cash, yet still much influence is with your honour in this wide place of area of P.W. Depart. Your kind honour will pass over the fury of my great peitishan I am telling you of my much troubles experiment, much limed all things I got much studies in big Dickshuuharys (which is five six days now I did lost) or grate talents in all things. But this manifold family which I have generated, God known, every, every year, she does my wife make incremental successions to the ramifications of this generation. My age was of nineteen when I did commence to have children and now my age is 34 and only one child dead and by the Lord there will be no end to this mischief.” —Malay Mail.
