The familiarity that arises from the socia-
bilily existing in small country circles is
somewhat offensive. Many people prefer
the reserved, quiet, Independent way of liv-
ing. The refined and finer sensibilities are
often wounded by the i'll bred, who approach
US on matters Of n personal character. 1t
would be well for everyone to cultivate more
reserve and seifesteem, kindness and cour-
tesy toward one another in both social and
business spheres. These are good lessons
which leave grossncss for the lower animals,
rising above abrupt manners and deceit.
These would certainly add more happiness
to the human family than any religious
creed, faith or belief that turns half of the
people who are slaves to such into cranks,
heterogeneous of personal character are
either to be eyaded or answered, one to the
airing of private business or family matters,
which should be sacredly secret, and the
other to the offending Of the enquirer, for
i'll bred persons asking such questions would
be offended at an evasive answer. Advice as
to the best manner of max ing II livelihood IS
another generous freak of that class of per.
sons. TO live uncontrolled and unintluenced
after reaching that age of seltdependence Is
the only true existence. No matter how
kind or good the influence may be, it is only
productive of doubtful results but destruc-
tive of mutual equilibrium. True genius
never lived under tyrant, and there is
tendency toward intimidation and tyranny
of one of the human family over the other.
This is found among the Ignorant classes and
country people to very great extent.
Hence whatever departure in life one takes,
nature herself declares, rely upon your own
mental resources to the very letter. Advice
is not needed; experience is the best IN
structor of the lest principles, and an honest
dollar in the pocket is the truest friend one
may ever hope to possess, and the attacks of
calumny and assaults that we as men and
women are expected to receive are but the
outgrowth of ignorance and malice.
