The SO-c;s,led PIain-SpOken
People,

That is the name they are known
by, and the title in which they
delight. They always pride them
selves OIL speaking their mind
at all times and on III! occasions.
They vcciferously charge upon
anything that gives them an op.
portunity to express their infaIli-
ble opinions. They are tie people
who always know a thing. It is
simply impossible for them to be
uncertain or mistaken. They are
so very positive they usually gain
their point, because peaceful and
timid people rather give up an ar
gnment than raise the combative-
ness iii the nature of their Oppo-
nentS. They always know every
body's business, because they have
no scEupIes in regard to asking
questions. Nothing ever happens
which causes them the least as
tonlslsment They intuitively
know everything beforehand. They
never spoil story because some
of the characters happen to be
present. They recapitulate family
disturbances before the partic;pa-
tors thereof, and detail the faults
and foibles of their friends with a
most exasperating minuteness.
They recount the supposed weak
ness and dishonesties Of people
and request you not to mention it,
as ''they do not wish to i1jure any
one.r They unblushinsIy dispute
you if your sentiments do not hap
pen to agree with their ideas Of
the same. They impolitely correct
your inaccuracies Of speech with
AS noachalaHce as they would pay
you compliment. They think it
their bounden duty to tell people
all the unpleasant things said
about them. They appear to think
the human family was horn with.
out the feeling Of resentment, or
else they find exquisite delight in
misunderstanding.

If they only knew how unp|cas-

able things which are said about

can say
Hypocrisy anl deceit are to be
discountenanced always; and SO is
that excessive pIainness ofspeech,
which s simply impoIite and vul-
gar. If no good can be said, let
silence be significant of distavor
and disapproval. Plain-Spoken
people are the hornets Of the home,
the wasps OF society, and the terror
of the timld and egOtistical, They
delight in saying audacious, uncal-
led for, impertinent and disagreea-
bic things They boast of their
plainness of speech, their single
ness of heart, and honesty of mind.
They tell you of the impertect;ons
of the present. yon make them,
even before they thank you for it.
They cri'icise your looks, acts,
dress and character. They tell
you of your faults in the plainest
of language. They give you ad-
vice of the plainest description,
and 10 not hesitate to call you
fool you fail to accept it. They
speak Of your tllread-bare carpet,
your cheap dress, and your plain
surroundings. Your economy,
they pronounce stingincss;y your re
serve, hauteur; and if you are
mirtltul and happy they call you
silly.
There is nobody so good, so hon
est, or so religious, but they have
some tale of villany, immortality or
hypocrisy to relate, which will
blot the fairest record. And if
we believe in the efficacy of prayer
we should most fervently pray:

A Point for NegrOp!l;lists.

No Southern man will put any
obstacle in the path of Il negro
who is educating himself or his
children, but few there are who re.
bel not against a system that
makes them pay for the edcation
of negroes who either loaf upon the
highways all the year round, or la-
Dor only when forced. Here is
where the harness binds.
The number of Idle negroes is
simply appalling. They block the
sidewalks in certain sections of the
cities and hang about the cross
roads like flies around a molasses
drip. Ifthe vagrant laws cf Geor-
gia were rigidly enforced tomoc-
row, there would be more negroes
under guard than voted for Blaine.
Take the whole State through and
it will be found that not teD per
cent OF the negrospopulation puts
in six days of honest work. The
statement is not made rashly, but
founded upon an intimate acquain-
tace with the race and with the
plantation system.-0acom Teleg.
