Concerning People Who VIZ not be
fyeased.--There seems to be class of
people who possess a constitutional pro-
pensity not to be on amicable terms
with anybody or anything. In season
and out of season they are everlastingly
presenting their objections, and growl-
ing out their ifs" and " butts" They
apparently read the newspaper merely
to obtain food for the qualification of
their unnatural cravings, and it is i'm
possible to determine that they exam
ineanything witha purpose more Chris
tian, more worthy of a creation i'm the
image of God, than to discover wherein
they may enter protest, and whereby
they may have reasonable hope Of
scratching up a "stink." They revolve
every act and dissect every speech of
their neighbors in the ambition to UNI
veil some secret sin. They are argus
eyed, and do not refrain from using all
their eyes. They are constantly look
ing for motives, forgetting, as somebody
has said, that "the most of things done
in this world are done without any mo-
tive at ALL" The impression seems to
be upon them that they are good and
pure and in all things right, and that
everybody else is full of evil-yea, "des-
perately wicked.p They are therefore
stubbornin their ways, and feel aggriev-
ed at anything said or done contrary to
their minds. 1t ia to be regretted that
they sometimes resort to misrepresenta-
tons to effect their purposcs-innocent-
ly many times, we are charitable enough
to believe. They, being perpetually
under a cloud, labor, asp if 'twere. a
bounden duty, to expand that cloud
that it may shield the sunshine from
every man. Alas! that these things
arc SO alas! that so many forget to ex-
ercise that charity which God has en-
joined, and the observance of that gold
en- rule which He has commanded
Men should bear in mind that. in all the
world there are no two Of Gods crea-
lures just alike, and that therefore no
one Of them in all things can just speak
or act the minds Of all the others. Why
not turn from picking fault to picking
good? In the majority Of mankind the
willful evil is not predominant. Why
letthe nine hundred and ninoty-ninc
good deeds pass unheeded and without
commentator, and damn most com
pleteiy the one thousandth which is
judged to be wrong? Ifthcre he ought
against brother better it is to go first
to him-not to the world. A word with
him may make all things right--a word
with the world may make all things
wrong. We are all weak, sinful NOR
tails at best and it should be the desire
of every one to stay the hand OF his
neighbor, instead of rapping him over
the knuckles OH the first provocation.--
The world is dark and cloudy enough
with all Its sunshine, and the man who
putsa cloud over his neighbours heart
will most assuredly find the shadow
resting on his own.

that exists among Republicans to nominate

begin to think Of economy and reform in

years money has been wasted like water.
