have met, with no unkind feelings, no excited
anger or dissatisfaction on my part, whatever
may have been yo1lr motives, and these l refer
to our commsn Judge above, to whom we are
both responsible. Gu home, and mind your
own business and leave other people TO take
care or theirs. Limit your benevolent exer-
tons to your own neighborheed. Within that
circle you will find ample scope for the exer-

of the afflicted widows around you, console
and comfort the helpless orphan, clothe the
naked, and feed and help the poor, black and
white, who need snceor. And you will be a
better and wiser man than you have this day
shown yourself.
