CARRYING WEAPONS.

In another column will be found another
sd commentary upon the evil practice of
Carrying weapons. Two young men have
. trivial dif6culty both part in anger. and
nurse their wrath % time elapses. Each,
to use the common expression. heels" him
elf, and Of course il ready on the slightest
opportunity or provocation to use the ever
ready pistol. They meet and duel fol.
lows. The result is before our readers.
Column after column has been written
upon the terrible results Of the reprehsnsi-
be practice Of carrying weapons. hundreds.
YES thousands, of graves are filled with its
victims, and parents and widows and or
phans are weighed down With unutterable
voc for fhe deadly work Of = hssty moment.
Scarcely one man 10 thousand is justified
in carrying arms, and the single exception
only when his life il imperilled.
The idea of man in the ordinary avoca-
lions Of life. going around with pistol in
his pocket, would be ridiculous were it not
DANGEROUS. But few men can control their
tempers, and few can resist the impulse to
use . weapon, If they have it. when reason
and prudence are blinded BY passion. A
hasty word, an insult. . blow-and the
fash of the pistol follows. Ere the smoke
cleans away, one lies bleeding victim
the other stands pale and trembling muir
derer! Though even the act is justiiable,
the deed casts shadow over his life, and q
gloomy phantom stands between him and
the bright sun of happiness. If men could
realize the terrible agonies of remorre, the
unavailing regrets, the deep misery which
follows such q hasty deed, they would
throw their revolven and knives into the
deepest pool they could find.
To such an extent does this evil practice
obtain, that even beardless boys 20
staggering around with what they
term their "pops." ready to draw
them upon the slightest infringement
upon their imaginary dignity. Even child
rem are provided with Theoretically toys
manufactured and sold 30 cheap that every
child can save pennies enough to purchase
the means of killing themselves or their
plsymates. These arms are publicly ad-
verified and - publicly sold by Eastern
manufacturers and dealers. Indeed, some
of the religious papers offer, or have offered
them. o. premiums for subscription!
There are but few men except those who
are connected with sheriff and police duty,
whose occupations or business makes it
necessary for them to carry weapons. A
stringent Law should be passed against all
Others, and it should be rigidly enforced.
The Law, ~ il stands, is almost dead let
ter, and will remain 90 until healthy
change in public sentiment shall demand
that this reprehensibIe practice be stopped
1t all hazards.
