A man or woman who does not pro-
woke criticism and misconstruction is
of small consequence in the equation
of life. The kicker" and "knocker"
never originates anything himself, but
is ever ready with his little boot or

others have created, and of which he
is largely a beneficiary. They are
found i'll every grade of society. and
are different only in degree of malvo-
lence and capacity for meanness. The
workers must stand against them III

day proved to be an Irresistible force
in reuniting North and South-a force
for the perpeutation of mutual respect
between former antagonists and for
effacement Of every sentiment which

national consolidation. That this fore,
was accomplishing its benign work
was spontaneously demonstrated when
the first test arrived wholly unex.
