dozen logotypes made

reading "Peter Porcupine, Jr., in Sew Review." These I will furnish free of charge to those who persist in making up their papers from my page, without tbe proper credit. One editor last week decorated the front page of his paper with three of my articles, without credit, and then had the exquisite nerve to send me a copy. What a buccaneer that fellow would have made. It is lucky he did not fall into tbe hands of some pirate to be trained. As a captain of a pirate craft he could have "laid up much store of goods." Had be gotten to Congress, the surplus would have been much lower than it is now. Many awful calamities have been avoided because he turned into a pair of scissors, without conscience and not able to take a hint. I will have* the logotypes read** for distribution in a short time. In the meantime.. I will try and prevail on the proprietors to loan the standing type of my page to some of the pirate crafts now engaged in preying an editorial commerce. I am nothing, if not clever. I even waive the copyright on the poem to Be found elsewhere^on this page, if they want to use it.
