 MT. Editor: There is, or should be, enough retaliation in our makeup to use in personal defense, but like every name of criticism. ill-judgment. mud sarcasm. My previous letter said that public letters invite criticism, and not feeling immune, was ready to see the little slap that "Southerner' sent, but was in time to dodge it, and will ex- plain why I did not feel Init"
 "Southerner" has the right idea of | the golden rule. I hope she practices | it. I wonder if she applies it to the colored people of the South, as much words-"to aid a person in distress, no matter where he came from, or who he is." As for shiftless, lazy women. is l there city or town in any country, where they are unknown, both women and men. Though I do not live in chastise, and I ddubt very much if ! that class of people are more numer- ous there than elsewhere. But when | it comes to '1gossip''-ohi Soutnerner, remember it takes two to gossip, and be careful how you acknowledge ths that "disease."~ When one hunts, they generally find, and if one seeks that | class of people, the "shiftless, lazy gossips," he is sure to find them, or l if found, and sought, and the atn1os- phere is not pleasant, one is rot oblig- ed to remain in that atmosphere. One is not obliged to stay in a place, even | if it is 1ikened to the Rose of New England, and if the South Is cleaner and has cleaner women than found in New England, I should think a return i to that part of the country would be preferable, especially when ore has
 nothing to do but exist. The women of New England are not afraid to work, and many of them are employed
 in factories, to make articles of
 to wear. It is a well known fact that those who are employed are hap | pier and live a more contented life than those who work not. but are waited upon.
 Of course, southerner could not know that I have spent many dol lars for transportation on the Penn | sylvania railroad, toward her south land, and I would not have remarked about the worldwide known laziness | that is prevalent in the south (due perhaps to the atmosphere tbere), if 1 I had not a personal knowledge Of what was writing about. I have seen the South and its people, both black and white. ard while some are very black, there are those also who are very white (including the colored peo- ple), and hospitality is practiced to | farther south I travelled, the more l desired the North. and. New England. in spite of the knocks from those who do not care for it, and who aren't obliged to stay here. it is the place did not consider it courtesy to find fault, or criticise in print, what : found. Not being satisfied, I left
 that place, and finally returned to the North again. I left because did not care for what found there.
 And I find daily (for my occupation "poor fellows who need money more kthan the Pennsylvania railroad" and
 I am glad to be able to say to South erner, that I have helped many 8 "poor fellow" and his needy family. That is part of my life and occupation, think, for there is none coming, but lsimply because of the Golden Rule in

 mother and father. I am glad to be able to help those who are not as fort unate as l am, and a look or word Of depreciation and the press of a hard
 working hand is recompense enough, so you see, Southerner, why I did not feet Init" by your suggestion to me, for I have spent far more dollars on
 these "poor fellows" than I ever have on the Penn. R. R. I wish 1 had saved the dollars did give to that railroad for the sights in the South, and the
 people, that I paid good money to go to see, did not give me so much as one particle of the recempense from my charity work, some of which would in ldeed be beneficial in the South, and to prove that the Golden Rule is my rule, land that wish to pass it on to others, I will wish Southerner, the best and l jolliest Christmas, such as she will fine
 nowhere, as in dear old New England,
 and praise be to those who helped to make this little corner of the globe
 the spot we can proudly call our home
