THE ENTOMOLOGIST’S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
who have seen it take it; not because 
they do not appreciate it, hut because 
they did not see it until lately : so they 
say, “ Oh, I will take it next year ; but 
it has gone so far now, and is so near its 
end, I’ll not mind it this year.” Second, 
— as yet few of the “big guns” have 
sent communications, though I know 
they take it, and perhaps make fun of us 
little pistols ; but as the little guns gene- 
rally get into action before the great ones 
coine up, pray continue it, and you will 
find that the great guns must discharge 
their knowledge in your columns, or the 
actions will be won by the infantry 
whilst the officers are sleeping ; after 
which you may depend upon it the in- 
fantry will elect their own officers from 
the ranks, and the now great guns will 
he called great in their day. Third, — 
like other spoiled children we have had 
it every week, so we want it. Fourth, — 
having had it regularly we cannot do 
without it. Fifth , — we must have it, to 
give the big guns a chance to ’go off, or 
they will burst with spleen. So now, 
Mr. Editor, oh! do, there now! that’s a 
good fel — low, say “yes.” Ah ! that’s it. 
Thanks — many thanks, I am sure from 
everybody. — C. S. Gregson.
