"THE HEATHEN CHINEE' DOUBLE COUNTER REPLY .

Na> ' Not ' I ha\c not done with 'hoc, I d like to shame the devil and Chinee. (These are not pci-onal icmaik- to you, A gentleman and -cholai, ever tine To what ir good and pine). Come, let us see How ea-^j ti» to kick Divinity ! If I be de\il awl the pulpit m, FJi\ inc- o/i bad if / iepio\o theii ->]n ' 80 they dc^ene a f{tntle kick 01 two : Thoujjh none, in) fiicnd aic e\ei meant, foi juu. '• A little lcainincr i^ e\tiemcl\, bad ' — "Too much,"' the yod^ allinn, make thee mad, Whicli mcanb the^'io jnad ahefuiy ; don t you see ' They despise Chiistian^ ! That, twixl you and me, Is a herring doubly salted. If I'm not 'Tis thej)aisonV fault — be that understood ! Now for the test. You say wo love to feh irk What Chinoe will do — that is honest work ! Nonsense ! Who built the mighty iloatin^ walls That despots fe&r, and tyianny apjials ? Who laid the brca^work of (Jieut Hi-itain'-s fame, And made the worlddo homage to hei name? 'Twas British workers. Alas ! cruel fate, We .see them now despised and desolate ; Yet no land boasts of harder woi ken* than The realm of English, Scot.s, and liishmen ! God bless them all, the German, Dane, and Swede, All sons of Europe work more than they need, Save for the dronefe who fatten by their toil, And claim the increase of the fruitful toil.

Yes there arc they who beckon o"cr the sea The wretched blavcs you idolize— -Chinee. Yet- not. to help ilum do they bid them fiu' to loin ) labour and reduce the pay. So now, in} fiicnd, our pens at, rest ma) lie. You know I've beaten you- -'(is twelve !-- Good bje. W. 11.
