views. If there was ever a time whet,
what is termed the “aristocracy o.
money' had a foothold in the south, tha'
time has passed, and the new order o
tilings calls for laborious effort on tic
part of all her citizens to restore rut ■
waste places and inaugurate new
enterprises. There tire comparative!;,
few soft places, so to speak, hut the num
bers who seek to till them are hy far too
large, halior, to he successful, should
have a specific tendency. Every me
should lit himself or herself for some
particular line of duty according to bent
of mind and physical qualification. .laek-
at-all-lrades and good at none is an un
wise policy, and generally keeps the
individual lloundering about without
settled purpose. Such a person lives
from hand to mouth, and achieves little
of value.
According to town talk three of the
easiest things in the world to do is (1;
to meddle with the business of others,
pj) to edit ti newspaper, (dj to preach the
gospel. Let us examine and analyze
briefly these easy jolts.
Xu one has any right to know any
more of his neighbor’s business than
concerns himself or the general good of
society. The social scavenger who iH
eternally prying into the affairs of others
with a view to meddling with tilings
which do not concern him is a public
nuisance and should he abated. The
person who attends to his own business
well will find quite enough to do and
will avoid much of the unpleasantness
which the meddlers inflict upon them
selves.
As to editing a paper, that is a matter
that everybody could attend to better
than the man who does it. Thousands of
piH iple who cannot write a grammatical
sentence, arrogate to themselves immense
abilities and wonder why they were not
called to such a flowery Held of thought
and action- the stepping stone to fame,
and an open sesame to fortune. Many
very intelligent persons also hold very
erroneous \iews as to the requirements of
une
enelmted Elysium on the back of a fiery
lV.gasstis, the newspaper man ol’tener
finds himself battling with poverty and
confronted by unfriendly criticism. There
is no field of labor which calls for better
energies or more untiring effort. Editors
are not born, they are made, and that by
a long and tedious process of education
in the varied and responsible duties of
their calling. No profession requires
more energy and adaptability, more of
common sense and broad and liberal
views than that of the men who plant
their names tit the masthead of the mod
ern newspaper.
And now for the poor preacher. Next
to the editor he comes in fur the most of
the world’s unfriendly criticism and un
just censure. The unversed critics think
there is nothing so easy as preuching.and
I meet out their unstinted comments upon
] tiie deficiencies of the clergy.
"I could preach a better
| sermon myself,” "lie has no ability and
but wil d- ! 110 religion,” “All be wants is the money”
| and so on to the end of the chapter.
These and other equivalent phrases can
he heard from week to week, and Sunday
tu Sunday. They are unjust and harsh,
and belittling to the people who use
I them. The men of Hod. who are sincere
in their views and aims, occupy the must
responsible of all vocations, and often de
plore thcii want of fitness in all its bear
ings. No vocation requires better abili-
i ties nor more of arduous toil and sclf-
I denying efl'ort. It cannot be classed as
■ one of the easy jolw, and as a rule the
pecuniary benefit is lmt proportionate to
! the \\ iirk.
ally in the hands of his friends.”
Presuming this to be a fact, ttflon what
grounds can stteh a complaint be based
Are not the friends of Mr. Harris right
here in the districtIf they are to con
trol Mr. Harris’ candidacy, have they not
just as many priviliges and an equal
showing with the candidates who tire it
the field? It is hardly probable that an;,
will question this. Then where arise
the grounds for complaint that “tin
short time allowed will greatly emba -
inss M r 11 arris ?"
