Among people of sense, converts are made by teaching, and reasoning, and proving; but this man's disciples must yield to the balderdash of a false speller, false quoter, and false assertor!

Mr. Steadman began, without replying to the editor's friendly greeting: "Who writes this balderdash from our district," he asked harshly.

It is a libel on the women of the country, to put such balderdash into the mouth of one who may be supposed to have been finished at a fifth-rate boarding-school.
