PECULIAR.-A man who has any
decided characteristics is pretty
sure to be dubbed "pecuGar" by
his friends; and, strange to say,
that one descriptive word rouses
vague doubts as to the moral
worth of the man to who it is
applied. That, Of course, is ab-
surd. No two persons arc the
same throughout, exactly eorges-
pondiDg in physical, mental aad
moral features. Idiosyncrasies will
be detected in one, which are not
noticeable in the other. OF the
thousand millions that inhablt
this globe, every one differs from
every other. one. Consequently
to say Of a person that be is Pc
cullar is q very commonplace
statement, challenging nc contro-
versy. The point. is conceded.
How good a thing it is that we
are not moulded after the same
pattern! Life would become ex-
ceedingly tame, people mingling g
with the counterpart of them
selves at every turn. This would
be intoIerable. The condition
would beget an intense longing
for the intimate society Of pecu'
liar people. They would become
! very winning, if only they were
of pure and noble character. Va
riety Of gifts, tastes employmehts
differences in nationalities, educa
cation, accomplishments, amuse
ments, are all charming PECULIAR
ties. The world would be dreary
without them. 10 call q mar
peculiar, then, is to make no &C
cusation against him.
