Perils of the Republic.
Col. r. G. Ingersoll.

EVERYTHING in this world that is good
has to be defended; everything that is
bad will take care of itself. There IS
the same difference between vice, as
between truth and falsities, that there
is between grain and weeds. We have
TO plow the land; and we have to sow
the seed with great labor, and gather
the crop of every thing that is useful !;
b,1t weeds and dog-fennel sowed by
chance and cared for by accident, Will
grow in the highway; and so 1t IS with
every thing of account in this world.
The battle of right is never won. Fight
rs long as you may, the argument will
never be changed. After four years of
war in the United States the questions
that we endeavored to settle by the
sword are as unsettled as they were in
1859. These questions must be settled
not only by the bayonet, but by argu-
ment. Ali that the war settled is who
were the strongest. War only makes
the contestants stop and listen, and the
result has to be argued out, not fought
out: and so to-day we are arguing the
question in defense of which millions
of men risked their lives, and that
question is Just as open and unsettled
tonight as it was then.
We have a country, the best l think,
in the world. hold all other forms OF
government in supreme contempt ex-
cept the free republican form of gov
eminent. look upon kings, princes
and noblemen as men robed IN the
livery of larceny, and wearing the in.
sigma of robbery. This government
is good simply because life, liberty and
property are better secured in this union
than in any other part of the inhabita
HE globe. We have taken the me-
that other governments have robbed
and tramped upon, and the second gen
eration have been superiorto the nobil
itv of the countries from which theil
fathers emigrated. We have given tc
everv man coming to the states 1 have
spoken Of, an equal opportunity tol
winning applause and power with our
selves. I ike this country because
we an admit that labor is honorable
and because it is admitted, here tha

THE EDITOR.
A Brief Discourse IN the Habits OF the Creature
Boston Transcript

Boston Transcript
The editor is n member OF that race
of animals called mankind. lie Is IN
yariably kind man.
He is perfectly harmless. You may
90 into his den without fear. But he
has his pecularities, The sight oil
.noet makes him wild. He is then very
dangerous, and is apt to do bodily harm
to all within his reach. He also much
wrought up when man comes IN WIFI
4 little trihe he has just dashed OH
There is one thing that must be saiu
in the editors dspraise. His mind Is
so biased by long thinking in certain
direction that he dislikes very much TO
look upon both sides of a question
Therefore, if you value your salety'
never approach him with manuscript
written on both sides of your paper.
The editor usually writes with pen'
but his most cutting articles are the pro-
duct of his shears. ,.
And let me say right here, Children
that good deal of sheer nonsense mas
been printed about the editor. lie uses
his shears only when composing an en-
tirely original article. ,,,:.
The editor would make good pubic
speaker, but for his propensity Tor CHIP
ping words. H.
The editors hardt st task is to dis
pose of his time. 1t is monotonous
| life indeed, were it not for the kindness
of the few hundred people who call
,,non him every day to enliven his dull
life with stories of their grievances, OF
their brand new enterprises, and with
antediluvian anecdotes. When you
grow up to be men and women, emil
dren, remember this, and spend Sill the
time YOU can in the sanctum OF the edl-
tor. He loves company so much, you
know, and sometimes he has to sit silent
and alone for whole half-minute. Is
it not too bad?
The business of the editor is to en-
terrain itinerant lecturers, book can
vassers, exchange fends and other phil
anthropists. He gives his whole day
to these. He writes his editorials at
night after he has gone to bed.
The editor is never happy except
when he is writing complimentary no.
tices. For ten cents worth OF presents
he will gladly give ten dollars worth OF
ADVERTISING all on account OF the
pleasure it gives to write, you Know
children.
He loves to write neat little speeches
and bright little poems for people
without brains, who wish to speak IN
public. 1t is so easy to do this that he
is sometimes quite miserable when an
hour or two passes without an opportu-
nifty to do something of the kind.
The editor dimes at all the hotels tree,
he travels free, theaters open wide their
doors to him, his tailor clothes MN
gratis, his butcher and grocer furnish
him with food without money and with
out price. In short his every want IS
provided for. He spends his princely
salary in building churches and school
houses in foreign lands. -.

The advertise nent of Messrs. Burger,
Hood & Co., which appears in this weeks
issue. deserves something more than a
mere passing notice. The firm is COM
posed of men who possess as good bust
ness capacity as can be found in this end
Of the State. From comparatively
small beginning, they have increased
their trade, year after year, until n larger
building was demanded, and the result
is seen in the magnificent brick store.
house they now occupy, which will COM
pare favorably with any house In East
Tennessee. Mr.. Chas. Burger, the buyer,
has no superior and few equals in his
especial line, while Mr.. VIM. NJ. Hood
is not only clever gentleman, but as
salesman and thorough-going business
man, has no superior anywhere. MIR.
10. Burger retired some months ago and
has engaged in banking, calling for
which he is well qualified. In speaking
Of the increase of business, this house
has kept pace with the demands of the
times in their purchases, and their pres
ent stock, for quantity and quality, far
exceeds any heretofore brought by any
house in Maryville. Country merchants,
in this and adjoining counties, have
found 1t to their interest to buy their
goods of this firm. Their trade has ex-
tended far into North Carolina. Adjoin-
ing counties purchase here In place of
Knoxville. In fact, they duplicate
Knoxville bills. Merchants who have
not traded here are cordially invited to
give them a trial. While Messrs. Bur-
ger and FOOD give their strict attention
TO business, they have, as clerks, Messrs.
Tedford, Kizer, Love, and Nose Burger,
all young men, with whom it is pleas
ure for the young ladies to trade with.
Then, we say, they have the largest
stock If goods ever brought to this mar
ket. Those who have doubts are asked
70 call and be convinced that we have not
painted the picture in too strong colors.
We insist that our Blount comfy people
owe 1t to this house TO give 1t a strong
patronage for their liberality and enter
prise. They have done much to build
up our town and county.
