The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1853-1911, 1867-05-30

more need we say to this mans editorial
capacity and honor But we will add
that in looking over the paper IN winch
the would-be criticism appears, IN para
graph, editorial article, not an inch long
we fiud two errors in spelling. Would 1t
not be well for this strange editor, to stop
publishing private, burnt, manuscripts
and give his attention to correcting his
own. bad grammar, and pruning his clum
silly written articles; and would it not be
well for him before he attempts to rebuke
others for bad spelling, to learn to spell
confectionery and corner correctly!
After his recent display of grammati,
cal wisdom, who wonders why he did not
conduct the exercise in grammar, to which
he had been appointed, and of which he
accepted, in the Monroe County Teachers
Institute.
One word yet as to this editors charac.
ter from religious stand point, since he
has seen proper to assail our character as
a teacher of youths.
He was recently made Assistant Super
intenient of the Lutheran Sabbath school
in this place, and on Sunday, the 18th
inst, in discharge of the duties of that
Office, he was called upon to lead in prayer,
which he did in loud, bold and appar-
emily earnest manner, asking for blessings
on the children in particular over whom he
was presiding, and also on all sinners In
general. On the following Thursday
morning, after he had seen our reply in
the Jefcrsonian in answer to the Smith
eld'' band, he met us in the street and
addressed US in the following religious
strain
What an HI did you stab me for j.?
You are a Id slink; you are a Id
unthanhtm man; you are Id
mean man, DC, DC" Aud at noon OF
the same day while he and several others
were upon the hotel porch, and we were
passing quietly along the street, he raised
his voice to high key, shouting after US,
He is a id liar" and persisted in de-
nouncng and cursing us until his profan-
ity caused the cheeks of those by whom
he was surrounded to crimson with shame
because of the apparent depravity of him,
who at present occupies the position
above named. 1t is possible for some peo.
pie to glory in their own shame, for he
afterwards boasted, that he shouted thus
loud in order that we might hear him.
Praying to God on Sunday and honoring
the devil in the middle Of the week, we
should call rather conservative christian
| ity The present state of morals and re-
ligion will hardly admit of praying good
God and good devil" Would it not be
an improvement, Dir. Greenwald, to ex,
purgate the devil both from your practice
aud service
And now, friend Greenwald, please ac
cept little advice
If you should ever locate yourself
again in strange place, take a different
method of gaining notoriety; be there al
least six months before you attempt tc
publish attacks upon public institutions
Don't be discouraged if this community
is slow TO award you any undue amount
Of ability, for we doubt not, if you keep on
in the course you seem to have chalked
out, it will, ere long, appreciate you. II
your mania for publishing attacks upon
US has not yet subsided, keep on, as we
will read your articles with pleasure, for
words from stranger, poured forth in
wrath upon the heads Of citizens amount
to nothing. Learn to be honest and i'm
partial in the management Of your jour
nal. When you need advice go to those
who are able togive you the knowledge you
seek. Neither abuse nor libel any one,
nor allow others to do SO through your
columns. Learn to respect the rights Of
others and they will be sure to respect
yours In word learn ''to do unto others
as you would have them do unto you,
and you will live a happy and useful life,
and die regretted by all your acquaintan-
ces. a ,cord to the wise is sufficient.
