Comparison Of Citizens.

From Appeton's Magazine
A professor in the Andover Theological
Seminary once met a man going to the
town meeting Said the professor: What
are they going to bring up at the meeting
today. Brown Brown replied, with .
snarl: Il dunno what they're goin' 70
bring up, but, whatever it is, I'm goin' TO
oppose it." The zeal of this particular
citizen was of questionable advantage to
his town. Some so-called reformers have
a spirit unfortunately similar.
An Irish teamster in certain New Eng
land town hires a man TO drive for him
whenever the license question is put to
vote. He takes the whole day on. He
votes no license himself. He gets AZ
many others as he can to vote the same
way. A gentleman asked him one day
why he took SO much trouble. He an
swered: Me boy died of rum an l do
what can to keep other folks boys from
dying the same way" This ignorant
teamster is citizen of the highest type.
A gentleman Of high standing In tine
same community boasted that he never
voted at local elections. He said: why
should / 20 through the farce Of casting
my ballot? This town is run by lot OF
low and corrupt politicians. My vote
doesn't count. I've no time for senti-
mental shams.' This scholarly gentle
man is a citizen of the lowest type. He
is stupidity selfish. Were he intelligentiy
