Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 2, Number 10, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 7 July 1858 — “That Man will Steal.” [ARTICLE]

“That Man will Steal.”

A friend has told us a good one upon old Lish, the father of Bill English. Bill, at a heavy outlay it is presumed, managed to get his picture in Harper's Magazine With a i flaming puff of himself; (so we are told, we I haven’t seen it) and franked a cart load of i the issue containing it home for his father I for distribution. The old man presented a I copy to an illiterate, hard-headed old Democrat, remarking that there was the picture | of the President." The old fellow scanned the picture carefully for several minutes, and then, with his eyes still riveted upon it, and vvitli an energy of utterance that showed conclusively that his remarks were the re- ; suit of thorough conviction, iio said—“l, don’t like that countenance. Mr. English, as sure as there's a God n heaven that man . will steal!" Of course the hopeful lathar fainted away.— Times.
