crime! 1t can not well be charged to
the war, as it is well known that the
soldiers both Confederate and Federal
are among the most orderly people we
have got. A new generation has sprung
up since the cessation of hostili.ies, aud
we must hunt for the causes of crime
somewhere else. We cannot blame the
ignorance of foreigners as it is some
times fashionable to do. The countries
from which the most of our foreign pop
ulation come have had, for many years,
better schools than We have. More
over: large proportion of those crimes
will be found in our rural districts,
where it is to be supposed the foreign ele.
ment is weak. To what then, | repeat, will
the "Frce Press" attribute this fearful
condition of things, attribute them
in a great measure to the aversion to
manly toll spoke of in my obnoxious
letter, and though will not charge
them to public schools l will say conf
deEtly that the schools have done very
little to hinder them, which is almost as
bad in view of what is expected Of these
institutions.
Twill conclude by saying that it is
hardly generous in the Free Press
man to hand me over to whole nest OF
hornets. Has he not venom enough
himself to do justice 10 my delinquency!
have no doubt that some will feel an
cry with me, even some parties l de-
sign to benefit. /, however, assure
my friend of the above spicy and enter
tanning, although sometimes very un-
Just paper that all the competent teach,
ers as well az the bulk of the school pa
irons around me are, Oh the whole, III
sympathy with me on this subject.
Every one may not have pluck enough
to incur the odium that some may en-
tel tain for me, Blu, l was never seeker
for popularity, and l would prefer being
right 10 being the admired Of those who
can not respect candor even when it is
mistaken. When the hornets attack
hope i, will not be in column. / must
use one hand to reply to the "Free
Press" and hornets though they be,
hope they will not crowd on man
with only his left hand free for yellow
jackets. Shoe fly! 30 away yet awhile;
| have Your boss 10 attend TO, aud
must do him the justice Of saying that
he stings hard sometimes, or you can
apply to yourselves what | have said to
! him.
One word more: My friend Of the
"Free Press" cites the cases OF many
young men in Charlestown who are
learning or have learned trades within
a few years. l am very glad to hear that
the evil l complain Of has no. reached
Charlestowu. l merely said That ! fail
cd to see such symptoms Of foresight
around Me, and told the truth. More
over: l am myself one of those unhappy
people who have failed to learn trade
Thought / Was smart enough TO live bl
my wits, but, long ago, discovered my
mistake, and if l had any lingering hope
! left it has been dispelled by the yer!
candid judgment OF wooden medicines
lately PRONOUNCED on me. ] am poor
man and the son of poor man, but We
both had the foolish notions that
ould warn others against, and l would
now give good deal TO be even an iii
different mechanic, for | would then be
a more respectable and happier mar
than | now am.
