The rain spoiled the pleasure of many
in joining excursions or giving parties at
home. Elbert Chapman had rendered an
invitation to all the children of the North

weather only eighteen were present. The
well-known amiability of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chapman give us the impression that all
had good time without inquiring.

There are three things in the world that
know no kind of restraint and are governed
by no laws but merely by passion and
brutality: Civil wars, family quarrels and
man, you chide your wandering friend, do
it secretly, in season and in love. Not in
the ear of a popular assembly, for many
times the presence of a multitude is the
cause of a man making an unjust defense
rather than fall in Just shame. A man
had better be convinced in private than be
made guilty by proclamation. Open re-
Dukes are for magistrates and courts of
justice; private for friends, where all the
witnesses of the offenders bushes are
blind, deaf and dumb. Even concealment
of a fault argues some charity to the Of
fender, and when we tell him in secret il
shows that we wish he should amend be-
fore the world comes to know of his mis-
deeds" We are not a moralist nor a men,
Der of the pulpit, and not wishing to hurt
some of our friends feelings, we give our
opinion of public scenes and comments,
hoping many will understand our mean
ing. To have a dignified and cordial
manner we must have love for our fellow
beings, and to have good manners we must
use them every day at home, not keep them
merely for company. The sermon of last
Sunday was very appropriate. The sub
ject, ISLANDER" which was worthily rem
dered by the Rev. Mr.. Cough, struck a
little spot in every ones conscience. We
are tormented by small few who are re-
gardless of their remarks, whose breath is
pollution to any one having pretentions to
the name of gentleman, whose only occupa-
ton will be TO pass vulgar remarks upon
passers by, regardless of sex or age. You
may have wealth or brutal strength, but
this will not save you from the epithet of
being without principle, and one whose
presence Is to be Stunned as much as if
afflicted with malignant disease. Leave
inoffensive people alone; and if you don't
like them, go about your business and do
not mingle with them.
Many who read the Elyria Republican
are under the impression that we are
. Ruby Once for all, we are not. No
ruby Of any kind; no pretention ut all to
SO fine a jewell, being Of rougher material.
Besides, we have items enough and To
spare, without borrowing from the ENTER
PRISE for the benefit of other papers. We
have time and again been advised to drop
the quill and b Still. When we conde-
seend to do so we'll not go to another pa
per under another name. We intend al
ways to remain D. B. Still, whether for
the ENTERPRISE or any other man.
