...Record is not to be neglected. The Courant says, "The Record stole from our former publisher about everything upon which it could lay its hands. It was only a lingering sentiment of justice, seasoned, perhaps, with a wholesome regard for Connecticut law, that left us in possession of our name." We know nothing as to the truth of the first sentence, but the second displays the most glaring egotism. We may be forced to believe that the Record has robbed the Courant of its type, and possibly of its scissors; but our high regard for that first-named periodical prevents...
...that a letter had been pushed under my door. I hastened to it, picked it up, and quickly tore it open; the first line commenced "Dear Will." I hesitated, read three or four more lines, and became sensible of some mistake. I looked at the envelope; it bore the name of my friend with the number of my room. Was it possible?

Must one be compelled to say, "Have you seen the man who makes my fire, blacks my boots, brings up the water, steals the coal, upsets the inkbottle, and fuddles himself before 12 M.?" No; it is too much. Let some distinctive name be chosen at once, and, whatever be its origin, be it Greek, Latin, French, German, Anglo-Saxon, or a hybrid, let it, Oh, in the name of justice, let it be opprobrious...
