YOU GO AWAY !
(to the editor.) Sir, — I cannot hold from expressing my astonishment that you should have the presumption to endeavour to get a living at your trade in th« town where you were taught and trained. You ought to have taken to something else, say driving a cart, or badgered the member for the district to get you a job at the Government Printing Office during the Parliamentary Session, or dangled about the doorsteps of the newspaper offices in the big towns till one of the printers dropped out of his shoes when you could have chanced your luck at jumping into them. And ihen the audacity of starting a. " rag " and such a " rag." I(j is quite true that is cleaner printed than THE " rag," but look At its inferiority in^slze and price. Expecting that you will give due heed to this admonition and forthwith shut up shop, pay your debts and decamp. — I am, etc., AN INDIG-NANT_JAOKASS.
