RYLERTowS, June 18th, 1880.
Mn. EDITOR IL have just noticed a letter from
Kylertown, describing the location and the many
advantage Of that place. since the establish
ment Of our High School, literary fellows from all
parts of the county have been sWarming 10 by
droyes and establishing newspapers and writing
up unknown history as II by inspiration. Some
OF these young men are very ordinary looking
fellows, and should have their hair cut short to
make them look wise.
But don't quite understand about that Potter
daisy farm nor do / know Of any farm answer
ing that Description on he southeast q t9wn, the
Potter farm being on the northeast. That dob
server" who has penetrated 50 far In American
history differs widely from the opinions Of the old
settlers and II cannot fail to be irritating to
man to end that the views Of things be takes,
and which he is satisfied are the only correct
ones, are very different from those Of other pso-
pie. Ills neighbOrs are clegrly and unmistakably
wronR--in his opinion. They 10 not see straight
and their intelecls are mudded, while his eyes
are open to discern truth and bis mind Is without
confusion. The correspondent Of the REPuBLI-
CAS- is one Of the men who has got at the right
and wrong Of things. He is convinced that II he
only had the chance of expoundlng his views, he
would speedily brush away the cobwebs from
mems brains and do them the inestimable service
Of teaching them to think as be does. So feeling,
he has no doubt that his mission Is that Of
public writer While they are Ignorant Of the
true meaning and real Importance Of American
history, he eomprehends It entirely and II he
could only acquire the knaek Of letter writing be
could onlighten the darkness surrounding thoi Z
minds. But then you must remember, young
man, that the world Is older than you are by
several years that for thousands Of years II has
been so full OF smarter and better young mon
than yourself that their feet stuck out Of the
dormer windows and when they died the old
globe went whirng on, and not one man In ten
millions went to the funeral, or even heard Of
their death. Be as smart as you can, Of course.
Know as much as you can, without blowing the
packing out Of your cylinder head shed the
light Of your wisdom abroad In tho world but
don't daEEle people with 1t and imagine that
thing is SO, simply because you say II Is. Don't
bo sorry for other people, because they know 90
much less than you do. The world has great
need for young men but no greater need than
the young men have Of It, Your clothes ft you
better than your fathers OF him they cost more
money they are cut more stylish the cut Of
your hair is better, aud you are prettier than
"Paw Young men are useful, and they are orna
mental, and we could not engineer picnic sue
eessfully without them. But they are no novel
ties. Oh, no, nothing of the kind They have
been here before. Don't be so modest as TO shut
yourself clear out but don't be SO fresh that you
will have to be put away to keep from spolling
Don'tbe afraid your merits will not be discovered
People all over the world are hunting for you.
