M . ; and as I do not admire being twitched into ill-temper , I refrained ; but , through your means , I sincerely recommend the said brother in future to deliver himself of his attacks on communism , and other learned whims , at an early period of the evening , that he may be refuted , which I have no doubt even the merest tyro would find no difficulty in doing . A NORTH COUNTRY MASON . Slay 1 , 1848 .
