Now, Mr. Merry, if you don’t put this into your Magazine, I hope you will at least say that you have received it. I like the Magazine pretty well, but I didn’t understand what that picture of the big, jumping bull meant at the beginning of the April number. Perhaps you can tell me. Yours,
J——s L——n.
☞ We are obliged to confess that our friend here has given us a good hint; the animal he mentions was meant for Taurus, the Bull, which is the zodiacal sign for April.
Detroit, May 30, 1844.
Mr. Merry,—Will you allow me to tell you that I like your Magazine pretty well—indeed, I may say, very well—but it does not come regular. I go to the post-office a great many times, when it should come, but I am obliged to go away without it. You know “hope deferred makes the heart sick.” So I am often disappointed. Will you do better in this, good Mr. Merry?—and as you tell us many wise things, will you set us an example of punctuality, and oblige your friend,
S——l M——ll.
☞ Thanks to S——. I will talk with the publishers about this.
The Snow-Drop.
