portions Of Amelia and Dinwiddie

THE PETTY MAN.

The petty man is the man of small
ways, small ideals, small thought, mar
row vision. He may be found in any
community, and may be sized up after
a few months acquaintance The pet
ty man, delights in doing the things
he thinks will pique, punish or pinch
a neighbor or friend The petty man
does the little spitefu1 things that nag.
He seeks to prod under cover, never
fights in the open, and has a soul that
would make mustard seed look like
watermelon by comparison The petty
man conceives prejudice and imagines
wrong where none exists. His spite
would make him rob his grandmother
of her spectacles Caught at his
meanness the petty man comes back
with the smile of hypocracy. He is
as much to be trusted as a pig in a
swill tub.

The landscape is of sufficient variety

THE FINAL REWARD.

The social fabric of the world is
woven into many fancies. The warp
may be one shade of feeling and tenn
permanent, the wool Of different mould
But with all of the variations one
may find much of the "cloth of gold"
in its makeup. But there is one pc
culiarity in the social law which stu
dents of psychology have not yet un-
raveled. Whenever the activities of
man have dared assert themselves;
whenever man has ventured forth to
do things, that minute he is made the
target of attack. It makes no differ
ence if he be engaged in just cause or
indifferent cause, the result is the
same. The only way that he may be
assured of perfect freedom from attack
is when he lays supine upon his back
and laughs his scorn.
If a man be a storekeeper, the
javelins of evil speech are rendered
against him; if he be the physician,
he is the object of talk; if he be the
editor, no matter how lofty his ideals,
no matter how high his purpose, no
matter how clean his columns, woe
he unto him! As a teacher of public
morals he is impossible. AS an ex-
ponent of truth he is next to nothing;
as a propounder of principle he is
painfully deficient; as a wise coun-
sellor for the public veal, he is dis
credited. SO no matter which way the
dice falls, he loses Strange, incom-
prehensible fate of mani The one
consolation to be obtained from these

THE BUZZARD.

The buzzard who follows his nat
ural bent and makes his meal upon
dead flesh is Chesterfeldian gentle
man compared to the human scaven-
ger of character who, without stuff
cient honest employment, can stand
all day upon a corner and roll as
sweet morsel under his lying tongue
scandal against one who has never
done anything but kindness. Loose
talk is often assassination of charac-
ter and this is really as criminal as
murder
