FROM THE FIELD.
A<HA

Ter instincts OF my nature you would
probably not be disappointed.
A heightened dignified discussion
of mems difference of opinion con.
tcerning any subject is interesting to
their audience provided they know
enough to be entertaining, but abuse
and slanderous misrepresentation
are the weapons of the ruffian. The
lonly reply gentleman can make to
such is to ignore it if it comes from
source beneath his notice or call
the author to personal account If he
happens to be a real man lead away
in the heat of passion, or accept an
apology. Slanderous personalities and
the retort, your are another one,
are the arguments towards used to
/ persuade themselves they are lions
| instead of rabbits but they only de-
ceve themselves and disgust decent
people If the time should ever come
when | feel impelled to lie on a man
to come up looking a little worsted.
| am sorry to disappoint those of
you who are expecting a little out
burst of temper from me but that
glorious rain which has fallen has
put me in such good humor and [
feel so much in harmony with this
great big world that | am incapable
of STOPPING to any thing that would
detract from the beauty of surround
| ing nature The sun is dispensing its
genial warmth to earth. | hear the
hooking bird singing his southland
tie sparrow the low of the COW and
the bleat of the calf. the clarion
notes of the cock and the prattle of
innocent childhood. | am famed by
the gentle breeze. / see the green
grass nodding its gratitude for the
refreshing shower. The cotton and
corn given new life seem almost to
smile. The only thought between me
and absolute happiness is when | re-
fortunate as me. | sometimes think
ii we were so constructed as to have
sympathy left out of our moral ma
ture We could enjoy the blessing Of
this world but then | am reminded
that when you find such a being it
hurts his feelings to see people en-
joy life AS the heart swelling, heav-
en- inspired sensation of sympathy is
more eudurable than hurt feelings |
suppose the author of our being
builded better than we could With
all the holy thoughts prompted by
the general harmony of nay sur
roundings do not you think | would
be worse than ungratcfuI TO steo oHt'
and go to throwing rocks az toa ?
1t would be wrong arI / am hot so
ing to do it.
