That is to say, your Dover cores
pondent, Temperance" But I insist
that the non, de gaerre is misnomer.
There is not the slightest trace of that
christian virtue to be seen in his bonn
bastic communication. Since he has
hit the nail SO plumb on the head in
guessing at "Southsider," | believe
l viii try my luck on him. Here goes
it. I guess that he processes to be
preacher; that he called the attention
of the Lord in his opening prayer, the
3rd Sunday nightin March, to the fact
that he had sacrificed a great deal to
become preacher; that he told his
audience when he began speaking, that
he had made greater sacrifices BY going
into the ministry. and had preached
more sermons for fewer thanks and
less money during the twelve years that
he had been preaching than any other
man; that he delivered discourse
from the almanac, without taking
text in the bible, which bears strong
resemblance to his letter from Dover"
His dress is changed, but, like the
Irishmans tumble bug, his voice is
the same.
In reading this scattering letter l
was reminded Of an incident that |
once witnessed, while riding out Of
Aberdeen, Miss. A furious dog,
chained near the road, was growing,
barking, crashing his teeth, and rear
ing and jumping as far as his chain
would allow him. Near by stood an
unintimidated lad of some ten sum-
mers, in the attitude of philosopher,
attentively observing the movements
Of the dog with the most perfect COM
posture. | was struck with the con-
trast between the boy and the dog. and
paused to see what was on hand. Pre-
sently the boy .looked up, and, in the
gravest tone imaginable, remarked :
Amt he savage? He's spiling for a
fight" lie. him spite, thought |.
Temperance" is in for fight, and
is determined to have rope" Take
it all, brave man, but don't do with it
as Haman did with his rope. lest the
sudden stoppage of your brilliant
career should ungear the universe.
His resistless penetration and dis
elimination have arrayed SOuthsider
in the ranks of incompetence. Well,
as he did not deny anything that South
slider said, neither will l deny anything
that he said. | will say. however to
the men of principle who are partici-
pating in the temperance movement
of the day, that the opinions expressed
BY Southsider at the close of his CON-
munication were intended to suggest
thoughts in your minds as to the pro-
priety of undertaking such a mighty
reformation by mere human organiza-
ton and contrivance. | Say to you
now, avoid fanaticism and the whole
sale abuse of everybody who ventures
to hold opinions adversely to yours.
Such characters as Temperance
are only fit to stir up diseord, and de-
feat whatever there is of good in the
temperance movement. A man who
ignores the teachings of the bible and
of science, and resorts to almanaes to
learn the meaning Of temperance, and
to find out the correetiyes of intemper-
ance, will only DO the cause harm con-
tinuaily.
