How CAN YoU?-Our eyes are often all
but suffused with tears, and our hearts are
flied to ovcrfowing when we behold the de-
pravitics which prevail in this community
and surrounding country. We wonder how,
with the lights and intelligence and teach
ings, that men get SO far away from the
right. Oh for lodge in some vast wilder
ness where VIC might retire, and then for
some mountain to come between and forev-
cr hide these wicked ones from our sight, or
some awful chasm to open and engulf
them, and thus oblitcrate them from the face
of the green Garth. We arc striving to reach
an emincnce in goodness, but alas, when
some miserable man loafS our paper, which
is a daily occurrence, thus robbing our little
ones of their bread and meat, and shoes, &C.,
we rebel and think ugly. How can you do
so? you knew The anguish experienced
as much in sorrow for your dcpravity rs
for the loss-you would loaf our paper no
more. Only yesterday wel'-drcSScd man,
with red face, caused by the suns rays,
having ridden all the way from another
county, came in for this purpose, and we
gave him one. for it WAS impossible TO re-
fuse, knowing how essential the paper is to
human Eappiness-the very bread and
meat OF life How could we refuse? Had
that man turned and gazed into our gaunt
cheeks, and have seen the tears gather
ing in the hollow cavcrns which hold our
hungry eyes, perhaps his heart might have
been touched. Hard as it is however, we
feel it q duty to supply the poor Of Newbcr-
~, who might be obliged for day or
two, to forcgo the luxury ofjuleps and other
drinks, sardines, oysters, segars and many
other little things, if they had to pay for a
subscription, but it goes little against the
grain to supply the bcggars from other dis
trists, and VIC respectfully askif our brothers
of the Press will not take care Of their own
poor loafcrs.
