Two Edged Swords

We often hear it said that a
two edged sword is a dangerous
instrument of attack - danger
Gus to the aggressor. Well, it
probably is; but then one edge,
we'll sharpened, is good enough,
anyway.
AS illustrative of this is often
given an account of the famous
meeting of Henry Clay and John
C. Calhoun, when the salutation
of the latter was:
II never turn out for a
scoundrel."
To which Clay, bowling low
and turning aside at the same
time, replied:
Il always do
While the above is usually Civ
en- as an illustration Of the dan
ger incurred by the use of a two
edged sword, yet, it would seem
that it's more appropriate use is
to point the folly of the aggres-
sor in Selling his sword by the
blade or the point and attacking
the adversary with the handle.
Another, more recent, but
much less famous, illustration to
the same purpose, is that fur
nished by the colloquy of Sena-
tors Wolcott and Pettigrew in the
United States senate some few
years ago.
Senator Wolcott had become
incensed at some remarks made
by the latter, and in the course,
or rather at the conclusion, of a
reply to them. said:
There are some men to whom
clean linen is an insult; to whom
a suit of clothes that fits them is
an abomination; to whom any
other than a general, all round
sloppy weather make up is a
thing of evil portent; to whom
but | will not interrupt further.
There is a Spanish proverb that
l believe is applicable which says
1t is a waste of latter to shave
an ass"
These remarks were followed
by great laughter, and appeared
to complete entire the discom-
fort of Senator Pettigrew; and
the more so since he was the
proud possessor of a full beard,
while Mr.. Wolcott was without
any facial adornment of like
kind.
After some moments, however,
and amid much suppressed mer-
riment, Senator Pettigrew arose
in his place, and, after making
an apparently sincere apology
for the depression, replied:
There is probably no one who
has had a more abiding faith and
trust in proverbs than have |.
They have ever been to me,
within their sphere, a sort of
guiding star, an amulet or a rab-
bits foot, so to speak" Here
the speakers emotions appeared
about to overcome him, but ris-
ing above them he continued. Il
have meyer before questioned
their truth, and much dislike to
do so now. But, when l look
upon the smooth and freshly
shaven face of the senator from
Colorado, meaning Senator VOL
colt, land call to mind it's ap-
pearance on last evening, when
unshaven; then note the improve
ment an improvement like unto
the full moon, early risen, with a
squash of premature ripeness
when operated on by an early
frost and fully realize that a
single shave is the cause of IL
all when | do this, my faith in
proverbs is gone. [ do not be-
lieve it is a waste of lather to
shave an ass. I do not be! ove
the lather used by the senator
last evening was wasted"
