More From "a Patron"
cAsKr, KY, Nov. %, 1883.

ED. SOUTH kESTucKIAE,
Dear Sir: In reply TO my article
Of the 18th, inst, calling for more
light on Grange and Warehouse mat
ter, you accuse me of being rather
dogmatic in my interrogations with
regard to matters appearing in yours
Of the 9th.
Now sir, you will please allow me
&C say that endeavor TO be positive
in everything I propose or pretend to
do or be, and would not give the snap
of my finger for man who is not.
But as 10 insolence, I condemn 1t In
all, and under all circumstances, and
consequently meant to give no Of
fence. Twas not alone In entertain
ing the opinion that yenr article nd,
mitted of being construed as showing
favor to the side OF the Board OF
Trade, and attaching blame to the
Grange, and being a friend and pa
iron of your paper thought Il
proper to make direct inquiry
through your columns, and thereby
give you au opportunity to explain
aud sct yourself square before the
public In regard to the matter.
AS TO the conjecture an regard to
the Louisville consignment, Twas Of
the opinion u was based more upon
remarks made by those opposed to
the Grange, and disposed to reflect
on the order, than upon personal con-
victions deduced from shortage OF
crop and other surroundings. AS to
the concurrence OF a prominent
Granger In regard to the matter,"'all
I have 70 say Is don't know wherein
he is so prominent" but 1t certainly
Is not Tor prudence and fidelity.

THE BIBLE.


Viewed merely az human or liter
ary production, the Bible isa marvel
GUS book, and without rival. 1t
embraces works of forty authors, re-
presenting the extremes OF society,
from the throne of u king to the boat OF
a fisherman; it was written during the
long period of sixteen centuries, on the
hanks of the Nile, in the desert o.
Arabia, in the land Of promise, IN ASIA
Minor, in classical Greece, and in I'M
psrial Rome ; it commences with tht
creation, and ends with the final glo'
rifcation, after describing all the inter.
vening stages in the relation OF God
and the spiritual development OF man
it uses ali forms of literary composition
it rises to the highest heights and
de.crlids to the lowest depths of human
ity if measures all states and condi
tons of life it is acquainted with every
grief and every woe; it touches every
chord of sympathy; it contains the
spiritual biography of every human
heart.
II is suited to every class in society
and can be read with the same inter
est and profit by the king and the beg
gar, by the philosopher and the child
il is as universal as the race, an(
reaches beyond the limits OF tim
into the bonndleSs regions of eternity
OF all the books in the world the Bible
is the only one of which we never tire
but which we admire and love more
and more in proportion AS we use It
Like the diamond it casts it's lllstre IL
every direction like torch. the NOR
| il is shaken the more it shines llk
healing herb. the harder it is pressed
| the sweeter is its fragrance.
