Ife is the damper on our hopes, the nourishment of fears; we ought, to take him out by night and cut off t»oth tils ears; tie is the modern stumbling block, the hoodoo of the to vn: we ought to build a roaring fire and hake, him nice and brown; tie is the grease upon the track, the brake upon the wheels: we ought to take film to the woods arid hang film by the heels: he is the mud that soils the hruok, the cat that, spills the cream; we ought to take his head some day and soak it. in the stream; he is the blight, the pest of pests, the frost that nips and chills: we ought to try to kill him off with Bllljaw’s Patent Pills.” At a meeting of the city council Monday evening It.
