A rural pom in an adjoining town wants I
to sell us some VHrses oo referring again to
his letter tbe article to be sold is "Poetry,"
with a big P. This Poetry was, be eays,
"written by myself," and therefore warran
ted against the pretensions of an y poetry
thief. Our poetio correspondent Is not
posted. No publisher at this time will
purchase poetry oo tba simple warrant of
tbe seller tbat tbe article ie original. He
insists oo a bond, with two approved sure
ties, securing bim against any possible loss
by reasoa of the claim ol soma woman to
tba poetry purchased. Uutil such a bond
Is properly executed no publisher will look
at a rhymed MSS. with a view to purchase.
There are other reasons wby wa canoot
trade with our correspondent, though be
says, "you ean eeod Iba money, that you
caa afford to give, in A letter, and I will
except It." Time is money, and we can
neither spare tbe money necessary to pur
chase this great work, nor tba time needed
to comply witb tbe poet's request tbat, if
tbe words are not all spelt correct," we
should "remedy them." Tbe reason lor any
failure In Ibis respect Is probably found io
tbe explanation tbat "I have uot got tbe rite
clod ol paper to wrlta on so I could not putl
Capital Letters every place Ibey were
needed." One other reason for not pur
chasing lies In tba laot that wa do not wish
t lead post office elerks or express messen
gers Into temptation. The sum wa should
lael bound to offer our correspondent would
be so large tbat it would be unsafe to trust
it to Iba malls or tba express, for tbat tbete
ata dishonest clerks and absconding messen
gers tba criminal reoords unfortunately
show.
