It ia pleasant besides profitable, to mediate |
tetimes on the beautiful affection of Dnvid for |
Jonathan, and of Jonathan for David, OIL tho |
puru love Of Damon for Pythias, and Of Pythiaa |
Tor Damon, because in this age, said to bo degon~
orate there arc fow examples Of friendship 80
true, 10 noble, 30 unBclflsh. When men who in
their day aud generation arc ua conspicuous as
David and Jonathan and Damon and Pythias
wore in their days fall ont and dis
agreo, it ia causo for 1amentation, tears,
hul heavy sobs Tho breast heaycs,
lachrymatory glands involuntarily fill, and glob-
ulos of water arc forced from tho odgcs to
trickle down each siio OF the noae. Alas ! the
age Of David aud Damon Ia no moro no more
do mon fall on each other's necks and osculato
as did David and Jonathan no more docs q
friend volunteer to tako apothor's placo on tho
ecarold, as happened in tho other historical in
stances above alluded to.
This is d tale Of - .:,--of war Of racos-and
is another proof that tho timo when tho
lion shall Io down outside tho
lamb, and tho tiger md the
kid eat watermelon aud sharo the same couch to-
gether has not arrived. It nay havo arrived
in Timbuctoo, but 10 for it has not been regis
terod in Chicago. No man in Chicago Ia still
nan,-the na1ne old aixpence, weak, orring,
boisterous, full Of passion, promo to resent an
insult, ready to die, If moods bo, in dofonse Of
honor. These ore aomo Of tho roaRonH Qocal
politics might be given Us another reason) why
- hnE,. s. -
mud why tho Hon. a. L. Morrison is
not either Jonathan or pythiaB. This illustrious
pair have fallen out,-thaao hoaaeH among
men who, whom thoy depart from q mourning
world, will leave footprints on tho sands Of Time
and Of the Lako Shore; these representatives
of two races, tho one of tho German Empire,
tho other Of the Irish peoplo; these individuals
hayo quarroled; their enin1ity knows no trace,
md hereafter they win be found arrayod against
zach other, tho QUO wrapped in tho green tlag Of
Erin, the other panoplied in tho rcd whito, md
black.
Tho relations bctween these gentlemen hive
been out Of joint for many day. 1t is not
necessary to trace tho cause of this unhappy
condition Of nfIairs. EgorY man who studios
local politics understands how it is himself. Ho
knows TINT A1r. Morrison drinks nothing stronger
than ton or pop; TINT Lo is q consistent and do
voted disciple OF FutAer Mathew aud Mr.. Cough
aud that he hates whisky as tho devil hates holy
water. Mr. Morrison is not ashamed Of bis tom
perance procliyitics, and, boing 1uont speaker,
ho has denounced the intoxicating cup
BY the hour at a time, and has con-
yneed many Of his countrymon that it
ia their mortal foo. Mr. Morrison il l1ndoubted-
" sincere in, md liyes up to, his profession. Ho
has been promoted on account Of long and faith
full services in tho cnuBo Of law, order, and tenn
Committee Of Soyenty--a proud and exalted sta
tion. Now Mr. Heslng cannot stomach . man
vino drinks nothing moro powerful than tea or
pop. lie looks down such mild decoctons
with inellablo scorn and turns up 1lis noHe as
conscientious persons who hayc no greater
regard for their insides than to pour tea and pop
down their throata. Tho result is, that Hestng
was flllod with bitterness against Morrison, and
thia bitterness was turned Into gall when Nor
riaon not only exercised hs ina1lonable and in
herent right to drink only tea and pop, but bad
