The Tiffin weekly tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1859-1868, 1866-11-22

Some people have their dislikcs,
md | am one Of thatnamerous class
Coupled with this charposeriatic, too.
I use the God-scnt faculty and privil.
ego Of telling my dislikes aud ad-
verso opinions, lif they happen 70 be
so. when and whero / please, with the
right always reserved, Of course, to
every one Of believing or disbeliev-
ing. adopting Or discarding my indi-
vidual notions. With these prelim-
mary lines let me have my say.
1 dislike sensitive people cordially
--pcopio who ar. 50 absurdly capable
Of Being wounded painfully by the
most trihing matters, aud where no
Intentions ever existed Of bringing
about such result. Such people are
forever putting themselves IN hot wa
ter. They are called upon at the
most unreasonable times to fuine aud
sweat. to discredit themselves with
every good feeling, impulse or idea
to "fecl hard" toward friends; to
look upon humanity as natural enc
mics, or as set Of iuquisitors. Gen
orally speaking, it is their own fault.
Sometimes, however, it is not their
own fault, for l recognize fully In ev-
cry person, who possesses any pride
or force of character, the right 20 be
insulted and to resent insult. The
cure for sensitivoness, in my way Ct
thinking, is a philosophical study oI
human nature. If friend studies
the habits and motives and impulsel
and temperament Of friend, he o.
she can, in spite Of all copcealment
arrive at a truthful estimate Of tha
friends character. This being done
like fash Of lightning, and by
sort Of unerring instinct, person cal
easily distinguish between an intend
ed insult, or malicious expressio
given forth, to cut, wound or humill
ate, and an innocent jest--one with
out malice. l believe it can be don,
almost without mistake, betwee
friends aud companions. With stral
gers, the case is essentially dideren
, Now then, it seems TO me that Il
true course TO pursue, is to get ma
only when an Intentional insult
given, and to have no ruftled feeling
I no pain, shadow on the face, !
mumps, no change, in short, in ma
uor or language, when an innoce
jest or a whispered conversation, col
a lbined with mysterious glances, are
/ the carpet l beseech the sensitive
