The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1909-05-22

In DUE course of time we will have reports
of great stories of thunder and lightning, hur-
ricanes and cyclones, and will read of the DAM
age thereof and in our haste will say that the
climate is changing and that the play of the
elements is growing more destructive each
year. All this is not the case. The trouble
now is that we have more people to be hurt
and more papers to report every damage.
When the wild Indian roamed this land and
the frontiers knew only an isolated settlers
cabin or hunters hut, of course no one heard
much of storms and necessarily very little life
was lost Now with vast cities, innumerable
towns, boroughs and villages, with 100000
people almost touching elbows great portion
of the land over, we hear of more destruction,
but for all that there are no more or greater
storms than in that far off time, to use the
grandiloquent rhetoric of Sprague-"W When
the rank thistle nodded in the wind and the
wild fox dug his hole unscared." So don't
think nature is growing more wicked, cruel
and remorseless, but rather that more people
get into her way. More barns are struck by
lightning now because there are more to strike.
That's all.

We laugh at the mule that stands at
the fence, neglecting to eat, and looks
longingly into the adjoining pasture,
imagining that the grass there is
sweeter than his own.
It is laughable, and yet it is the
same trait that we who call ourselves
wiser than the mule exhibit all through
our lives.
We begin early. How quickly a
baby will drop whatever he is playing
with to grasp at that which is with
held from him!
A tendency to undervalue what we
have, and to overvalue what others
have seems to be an element of our
nature.
Many young writer feels that he
would be quite happy il lie could
write such history as Fiske; yet the
story is told Of Fiske that his great
desire was to sing. Compliments on
his writings or lectures brought no
sweetness to him, but a favorable
word of his singing filed him with
joy.
The mule at the fence has plenty
of company. The poor think the rich
must be happy; the rich envy the
poor their lack of cares. The unsuc-
tcessfnl deem the sue cessful ones con-
tent; the successful miss the keen joy
of triumph in their days Of hard
struggle.
We see only the thorns In our own
vocations, only the roses in those of
others. The shop girl would be an
actress; the cook would change places
with her mistress; the lawyer sees the
advantages Of being a doctor, the doc
tor those of being lawyer. The
country boy leans on his plow hand
les and looks toward the city with
longing eyes. And the city youth
.yearns for the green of the country,
or the free life of the seas.
