tender infant, Incognito, an “April
Fool,” as though the use of pet
names had ceased to be fashionable
Poor Incognito! I am charged with
displaying a heartless disregard lbr
his-feelings. Iso one hut ray pa
tient wife and fourteen little child
ren know how I have wept over
his short-comings.
Union says of my first artitle :
“In bis first sentence there is a ‘phenome
non’ of tautology; in his second tlicr- is a
phenomenon of redundancy; ami, in his third
here is a ‘phenomenon’ of the improper uso
of the tenses.”
Tautology signifies
“A sameness of expression which adds
nothing either to the sense or the sound.” Or
as Southey says, “That is truly' and really
tautology, where the same thing is repeated,
though under never so much variety of ex
pression. ”
In my first sentence there is but
one repetition—that of the word,
‘‘Who,” which neither detracts
from the sense nor the sound, but
is necessary for its grammatical
integrity. My second contains
three distinct enunciations, and no
tautological “sameness of expres
sion.” Union, the model gramma
rian, to whom /Smith is but an ig
noramus, must remember that all
repetition is not tautology. There
are many honorable exceptions, os
he will find out by carefully con
suiting the rhetoricians. Some of
the grandest climaxes in our lan
guage, have beeu attained by suc
cessive repetition of the same words
and forms ot construction. In re
gard to redundancy, I claim there
is none.
His final charge is, that I atn
guilty of the improper use of the
tenses. The passage, complained
of by Union, is composed of two
distinct parts, the first reading
“can find,” the sect nd “where is.”
In the first I wish to know where I
can find a nominative case; in the
second, I ask where is a rhetorical
rule. No improper use ol the
tenses occur in the passage, when
tried by my grammarians, and I

This chikli^h/>ld "imtlwuun lev
comes lachrymose over my mild
reproof, and sheds poetry, tears and
biographical incidents, with reck
less disregard of future reward or
punishment.
Most philanthropic of critics!
Ido not deem my seif cruel, acri
monious or splenetic. Did I not
as a kind father call Incognito's
attention to his loose style, that he
might correct it ? Did I not ad
vise him to avoid publicity until
his literary culture improved ;
Have not I shown remarkable in
terest in his welfare? Have not I
ex’ orted him to pray like Solomon
for knowledge/—to see himself as
others see him I* Yet, am 1 lect
ured by Buena Vista and Union
for ray acerbity! Alas! my cup
of affliction runneth over, and my
feet have well nigh slipped ! My
sorrow overwhelms me like a tur
bulent sea, and my sighs tush from
me, like a whirlwind from the
mountains.

see flaws in its fibrous texture.
Buena Vista says:
“The Use of opprobrious epithets cannot
pass for critic; 1 acumen.”
Yet, lie calls my article a diatribe,
and me an ambitious fool, a cruel
jester and an unmannerly coward.
How does these terms compare
with “April fool,” in my soft ad
monition? O, Consistency, thou
art a jewel, but Buena Vista pos
sesses thee not. In point of animus
my exhortation wa. as pacific as his
tear-stained but indignant protest.
In dwelling on the persecution?
of men of genius by envious critics,
Buena Vista rises to the sublime ;
but when it is remembered that be
covertly ranks their immortal pro
ductions with the ephemeral essays
of Incognito and the "rough dia
mond” element generally, he be
comes fantastically ridiculous.
His quotation from Goldsmith,
‘ ‘Cautious stupidity is always in tho right. ”
seriously mars the beauty of his
performance, for it is not apt. The

more mental muscleand less bowels !
of cmripassion.
Tiie most radical error of Buena !
Vista's article, is the position lie takes
and attempts to prove, by sub le ar
guments and touching illustrations,
that young writers should not be
fore and to undergo the same ordeal of
review, as veterans of the pen. Ti.is
is a dangerous literary heresr, and if!
acknowledge-! and enforced, would j
irredeemably vitiate the literature of j
our land. Such a course would be j
grossly unjust, both to the old and j
flic young, the writer ami the reader.
The sweeping criticisms on the old.
writers placed in contrast with the
serai-complimentary notices of the
young, would mislead both the pub
lic and the youthful authors. The
old authors would bo criticised into
disgrace, and young genius, not be
ing shown its errors, would never
know or correct them. The public
gazettes would be flooded with insip
id and nauseating’ trash, and unlimit
ed lice e would be given to medioc
| rity and ignorance. Erecting a high
1 and faultless standard and requiring
all to conform to it, is the way, par
\ excellent, to keep literature pure and
I unspotted. If this is done, no writer
! • ill appear in public without due
; preparation, and merit will have its
j reward and demerit its punishment.
I have, I think, shown satis facio
i rily that Buena Vista has < ndeavored
Ito establish a dangerous heresy, and
jt>ae that every true lover of our lan
jguagoand literature, should eomba
•vitii tint energy of Achilles and the
j s rength ol Samson. My motive, in
entering the lists, has not been to de
| mat and humble Incognito, but to de
| ftnvl from pollution the purity, virtue
I and exalted character of my lady-love,
i Belles Leltres. Ido not pant l'orglo
!ry and fame, nor woukl I sacrifice
my pcn-onnl comfort and the pleas
’nres of my vocation, for the loveliest
j and brightest, chaplet that, the god-
I dess ol lelteis ever held out to aspir
ing genius.
PiN'EVIXLE.
j Take the Buena Vista Argus. It
will take the rough edge off of hard
times.

days in tlie dead past, when they
were blessed with the love of parents
before the insatiable thirst for gold
had led them into these mountain
wilds. Not a word was spoken for a
few moments, then old Job drew his
horny hand across his watery eyes,
and said in a husky voice:
“Tige, ye wouldn’t break an oath,
would ye?”
“No, Job Dawson, not for friend
or foe. There ain't a boy in the bills
as can say that Jim ever went back
on even his given word. I’m a

things, but when I say a thing, you
can gamble every dollar you’ve got

"Then ye're released on them
