THE PERMISSIVE BILL.
<pTO THE EDITOR OF THE INDEPENDENT. Mistub Editub — There is kno clout that " Silver Pen " kno3 what he, it, or her is about in riting the very Kleer, Konsise, and Butiflo Pome on the Permissif Bil, but sum peeple R so xtremely Btcwpid as knot 2 B abel to make rime or reeson of it — 4i instants tha kant 0 in what wa dpriving a man of ie Bier is do — nor can tha understand about the long 1000 a who hare knot had enuff. The general impresshun amongst them apears 2 B that most fokes huve had 2 much, and tho tha mostly agree thut there is kno arm in a glare or pipe if tha R well looked after, yet tha R off opinion that tha R saffost when empte. Tha think that the pipe may sumtime9 smooth the ruffled temper, but R off opinion the glara has a kontrairy effect, and say that tha kno from xperience that the glare bos the effect off kreeating a desire in sum peeplo to smooth other peoples ruffled tempera. Tha want 2 kno how long "Silver Pen" was sittin in tho gallery be 4 the sublime pome was hatched, aud whether there iB any mor being Bot on. Tha think tho member who told the peeple 2 pars his bil did sew out of kindness 2 them 4 feer (if tha stade 2 long) tha mite be gobled up by the bil. Tho R off opinion that tho member (with the bil) was none the worse for the water, and think a little, properly applied, would do "Silver Pen" sum good. They think it is a pity the member had knot more brothers 2 help him in chequing the evil, and thut the polise should a rest the nome wot stands at Osgood's dor to oncet, and dock is tale, and so is cloven foot up. They think his noo clo'e should B Konfiacated to the Krown, and that he should B supplied with a nice read soot with W.G. and a brord R on, and that he should, as soon as possible after a rest, B supplied with a one wheel carridgo to convey himself about in. Tha think that babies, instead of drinking wot a dults leave, as a rule R served Ist, and that if " Silver Pen's" small boy (rising 3) brakes his pasehun on ale it must B a good thing for him, for most fokes break their own krockery and other artiklos of Virtue. fha say that the subject of Babies drinking is 1 on wich not only male members grow eloquent, but female members also. Tha want to kno if the " sawder" attracted the rabbit on to the members feet, and wether it (tho Rabbit) crt is korns ; they kant understand why people do knot like water, and drink it as d lightful beberage properly fixed up, and think there ib kno lickwid Boots the stummuck better if it is quolified. Tha think the sale of kakes should be at leo put a stop 2 on principal, ns there is no noing were the evil may spreud 2 if allowed to be karried on as " Silver Pen" sujists. They think that the fact of Eve taking the appel is no xcuse for men taking mor of the seductiT flooid than they Bhould. They think the I dear of having nice houses and pretty girls to servo T is a failure to oncet, as there is even mor danger in T than in kakes in koncequence of being mor volatile, and they think the Books would be unnecessary if pretty girls were to serve them. And they say if all the Hongweod yuths would blut together, and devote their time to sum usefool purpose, they wood be a proaching neerer to what tha ware desined 4. Tha kant C how men kan use Bier more if it is taken frim them. And now, Mister editur, tho I kant a prove of sum of the centiments kontained in these lines, I must ask you to take them for wat they R worth, and if v think they R worthy of a ploi3 in your volooable kolumns, and that a good puvpuss will be attained by their insertion v will oblige Yours muchly, Slate Pencil.
