SPUNK.

This is getting to be very popular
word. quite as much as that good old En-
ylish word, '.bamboozle," which Senator
Benton sanctioned last season. The ne
cessity which some people feel Of .show-
ing their spunk" when trifling annoyances
crosses them, is productive Of a vast
amount of heart burning, pickering, and
spleen.
Many quarrel has arisen in early life
and cast shade of bitterness even over
the grave Of one of the parties. which had
its origin in an innocent mistake on one
part and determination 10 ''show spunk'
on the other.
IL will let you know I've got some spunk'
said dunned landlord to his creditor, one
day, on acknowledging the receipt of a
dun. How did he do it! lie cursed.
raved, swore, and blackguarded, paid his
bill. and then, to spite his impatient cre-
ditor, went to another house to buy his
liquor. and paid more money for poorer
goods. This was Showing spunk' the
proper or popular way.
Merchants sometimes get severely tried
by the thoughtless or hear,lessness Of Gus
TONER'S: some Of them sacrifice their pre-
sonal interest, their dignity of character,
their temper and peace Of mind, for the
next twenty four hours, merely to show
their spunk. Because their customers are
reckless, undecided, or heartless they will
degrade themselves to still lower level.
by displaying spleen and fretlul reproach.
Farmers often go to law on disputed
landmarks merely to ''show their spunk"
and they neither may be quite right. and
though the amount in dispute be not five
dollars, they will sometimes spend five
hundred dollars each in law, and never
get anything but beggary for their trouble.
This last is not "A very rare case
Many an individual wishing to show the
world that they "are not to be trod upon" !"
will only show that they are unfit even to
tread upon, owing to their having SO mean
a spirit, as ''spunk."
So we have seen married people pass
years in continual recriminating antagon-
ism merely because both were spunky.
and neither would yield a jot Their
home was perfect hell and their children
grew up in strife. Filtration and impu-
dence on her part, and vice and profligacy
on his part. succeeded rational happiness
Of conjugal life and the very prime Of life
was changed to long and tedious inter-
val Of discordant exis:ence-and all this
because each wanted to show their spunk
Spunky people may depend upon it,
that tho only proper way to show their
spunk is to war with incessant activity.
against al the bitterness, hatred, peevish-
ness, indecorum. discourteous language.
and undgnfied demeanor in every posi-
bic shape; and by so doing they will soon
find that gentle words will come cheaper
and pay better then any other, aud that
true peace of mind. worth more than all
else, is the necessary consequence Of be-
ing-''real gentlemen and ladies. ."-Boston
