For the Ca'diz Sentinel
Sunshine and shade,

OF people to make a world. Indeed | cant see
of what use some people are, unless ii be to fill
up the crevices in this great edifice,-answering
about the same purpose that chunks and mortar
do in building log cabin-they fill a void and
keep out the light. But think 1t would be an
improvement in the way of "world making to
supply the place of some of these people and do
the "fillng up with the lower animals, such as
cats, dogs and hogs. They would answer every
purpose just as well.
| remember to have read that:
All she worlds n stage,
And all men AMI women merely players
This is llerent view, and in ore sense, pref
ty good one. Some are players indeed, and
they play the foei abominably. One fellow plays
the part Of a 'rgrowler' nothing goes right with
him. Every man that works for him charges
too much, but nobody pays him half enough for
what he does. His family, if the poor creature
is fortunate enough to have one, is awfully ex-
travagant. lie don't see how lie can stand It,
The sunshine hurts his eyes and makes the
weather too warm. When it rainS he wants
to know if we had rot better hayea second del
uge He is always prophcsyisg ruin. The crops
will fail and we will al star4e to death. And
( if they don't; they might as wel for we will all
be killed by the ''coIEct." Growing is part OF
his food; heiveS on it, and he Eqes rl,leh longer
than can see any use in. He hangs on 10 life
with great tenacity, and Ills "ast breath is
generally drawn with It cork screw" and so lie
ends playing his part.
! But this playing is not confined to the men
alone: "all the men and women are merely play
erS." Nes, women plays too. There is the EN-
vious back hiterH She is all smiles to your face
and full Of compliments and fine sayings but she
takes the first opportunity when your back is
turned, TO spout her venom at you. If not in
plain blunt terms, by sly inuendoes which are
worse. Such person is agreeable; "Ah yes''
saws, Miss Envy ''hut then it is great pity that
well, I'll not say. / wish her well, do in
deed hope it will never be found out" She
cant bear to be eclipsed by any one. That any
other young lady should be better looking than
she, is a moustrous sin in her eyes-and if she
should be more respected by people in general
and nsore- cspegieily by the young gentlemen, fol
her modesty, kindness Of hcart,o any other good
quality, Miss Envy will rave, tare her hair, and
"rcfiise to he comGortcd" until she has an op
portunty to spout forth double quantity of hel
venom on the unlucky object OF her hate
Without this opportunity all the patent mcd
cines in America could not save her. She would
wither, pine away, and die ofmortal grief Thi
was what Thompson was speaking Of when he
said
! "I}ase envy withers at anothers joy,
An hates that excellence it cannot reach"

only OF fafool but worse~=the part OF a self mad'
