 If Grip detects sarcasm. il can ind lights and shadows where none are in- tended. There are no hard feelings be- tween the "Canuck and the Tooth pick The practice of dueling is dying out, and let us no, revive a custom ,ha, can a, times make man feel devilsh un- comfortable. The lighter vein" papers of ,he country have a healthful work 10 perform. the work of philosophical eduea- tion. There should be TO misunder- standings. no sham attitudes. Smiles cannot be extracted from bitterness. and only srins can come of sarcasm. The humorous papers must join hands, and represent the gentleness of the press. Their editors mus, be kind. and only on occasions of excessive leyi,y mus! they kick bore down the back steps. They must be humane and tender, and should only shoo, exchange thieves daring mo- men,s oi sadness and deiee,ion. but the R,an who comes in aad talks abou, the tariff. should be killed regardless of sur ronndings. These are eouuesies which. with the aid of such contemporary AS Grit, we feel can be maintained.
