Thare are 2 kinds ov kuriosity: one
kind we silk our branes into, the other
only our noZe.
The literary world liz filling up with
literature, which IL no better than so
mulch village gossip.
The publik only gaze at the man

few inquire how he got thare.
] hav seen people who had reduced
artiice to sutch a science that they
couldn't even tell the truth without
Icing about it.
We are none ov US willing to CON

81 am so far gone that l don't car,

81 am so far gone that / don't care
a rap for my character. &c. F. Allen,
A mans mind must indeed be in
d%eplorable condition when he prac'
tically admits that he has so per.
sistently debased himself as to have
lost all self respect. The worst de-
bauch, when sober, has some com.
junction of conscience and crave the
respect Of his acquaintance. The
thief, ordinarily speaking, courts the
esteem Of those about him. The
defaulter, possessing a spark of man
hood or respect for his family, ever
hopes to recover his lost position in
society and in the higher walks Of life.
The man who has squandered his
relatives property or the property Of
widows and orphans which was en-
trusted to his keeping, would ordi-
narily seek to better his ways. The
man who would wrong a brother until
that brother was in a frame of mind
to declare 'I'll cut his heart out" in
all decency would seek to regain the
good will of the one he had wronged,
but here is a being who has become so
degraded, in his own estimation at
least, that she don't care a rap for his
character" At one stroke he attempts
to wipe out past transgressions by
such a declaration. Such a being
deserves police protection to prevent
doing himself mental and bodily in
jury. If this really is the true state
of his mind at present n can easily
see that past acts are not to be Won
dered at. A person in such a frame of
mind might stoop to any sort OF
trickery in order to gain his point.
Devoid of self respect, having no ex-
cuse for past misdeeds and making
none, he can only be likened to the
desperate who defies all laws both
legal and moral, Such a person is to
be feared, because if he has reached
such a condition, Matchmaking the
character of true and honest men
would be a mere pastime and ii he
could destroy the reputation OF his
fellow citizens his debased intellect
would find plenty of n~ourishment. If
he speaks the truth who would believe
what he utters. His word cannot be
relied upon. Being devoid of self
respect he s%urrenders all claim as a
good citizen and as a man, and brands
himself as an outcast.
