I shall feci uneasy till I hear, for when last heard from he was outside of a fence, dangerously high for the old man ? the fence between Uncle Si. Uncle Sum, rt at. Uncle Peto writes so like a demagogue that 1 am purstiadcd he is only looking out for the most numerous side to fall on. Until lie finds it lie will have a kinJ and, as Uncle Si would put it, '-an excusiu" heart for both sides. Hut when Uncle l'etc takos his pen to write on the issue between the people and the red and white wine party, he loses his heart a bit and just wades into the devul, dogs, and that old woinmun, who lias been a dead issuo since the days of Solomou. But his kindness of heart will come out a little, and so he comforts those who get drunk on unlicensed whisky, by laying the blamo on the ole devul." They "hain't half ns much to blame as,the devul"' for their mcanucssa la Untie l'etc. Uncle l'etc throws the other leg over tho fence and shows his colors fairly in his paragraph on bar-keepers: and, as Uncle ?i would say "you can see who he is agin now. He is "agin"' the "devul and dogs, and an old worninun" who lived in tho days of Solomon. The devil and dogs and the old woman arc convenient scape-goats?they arc disfranchised. Any abuse heaped on them won't hurt. So Uncle l'etc give* llieni It?ail Columbia. It reminds mo of I lie story told of an exceedingly pious and liberal church. Said church caused one of its ofliccrs to follow the new preacher to the pulpit and say to him, that it was hoped he would not say anything about tho Baptists, or Methodists, or 1'rcsbyterians, or Catholics, as there were sotnc of each of these sects in tho house lull us I hern were no T#i?j opmm.1 ! ? couM give the.11 tils. Uncle I'ete defends the bar-keepers and almost conies down from I ho fence in that defence. Hut his defence is not new or ingenious. It U the old, old argument of Iho bar-keepers : "H e don't go and persuade men to come in and drink.'* And Uncle I'ete says "barkeepers hain't nothin like the dcvul : ' they "don't go mil persuade people to driuk." They only ' sets cm up." And besides, lie makes them piy ten cents for it. No, bat-keepers "hain't half as bil as the dcMil," for he gave live an apple just for nothing. and lie begged her to take it No, barkeepers "liain t half" as mean as the devil, lor they just watch and wail. like snakes for their prev. and when the poor victim coiucs along thev only "sots cm u|> and makes them pay for it. The ditl'ercncc seeming to he that tlic devil is the more liberal ol* the two. An l the bar-keeper in not half such a devil as the devil, for the reason that the bar-keeper charges ten cents a lesson for teaching the way to a drunkard's hell, while the devil don't charge ft continental. (11 u!hi for lli< ilrril, ought to come in just here if I only had Hill Arp's "cussin ' man here to write the words forme.) Well, stewing thething down, it amounts to this; That the bar-keeper is not half as mean as the devil, for he ehaiges ton cents for what the devil does for nothing. Mr. lvliti.r, I submit that I'nclc l'elc slanders the devil, when he makes the bar-keeper onfdevil the devil.
