Written for the Carroll County T.mes.
May two parties dispute
about the same subject and
be equally right, or equally
wrong ?
A, B, & C were looking at a puz
zled picture-all equally ignorant of the
illusions of perspective—when A, who
stood on the left, said: “That
picture reminds me very much of old
Miss * *. She is about t-hirtysfive or
f° ,- ty years old, as withered as a pump
kin in March, and yet she dresses
like a young girl, aping the manners,
the innocent ways, the modest diffi
dence and the rattle sixteen.’
Her affectation and hypocritical ‘puti*
ting on’ are perfectly disgusting. Yes,
1 see her very curls, her ‘ beau catch**
ers, her hisettes and whiskerettes—
her ruffles, her ribbons and her bows
her tall lank form and leaden eyes.
Ila ! ha ! ha ! it is pet feet! ”
“Why, where in the .world,” said
B, “do you see any such picture?” I
see nothing but a forked beet, gro
tesquely fashioned into something re
sembling the human form. • It is true
it looks a little like old father * * in '
his broad brimmed hat ; but it resem
bles more than any thing else the car
icatures so often seen on seedsmen’s
advertisements There is certainly no
Woman there. That last glass of soda
water must have contained something
stronger than ginger extract. At any
rate your head and your heart are so
full of that charming lady whom you
pretend to describe derisively, that
your eyes, carried away by your im-.
magination,. have deceived you.—
Wake up old fellow ! You are dream
ing. Ha! ha! ha! it is our time to
laugh row.”
A was about to make a sharp retort,
when C who had been viewing the
picture from the right, and who was
now staring at his friends in mute j
astonishment, broke out; “ Have you
both lost your minds? Or are you
tipsy ? 1 saw you tip a wink at the
soda-fount clerk back yonder. I be
lieve you both got something stronger
than atflavoring syrup. Pretty Good
Templars you are ! i shall have to
report you to ** * As for that pic
ture, it is neither an old maid nor a
beet, but—unless my eyes grossly de-!
ceive me—it is a camelopard. Don’t
you see its long bony neck, its short
upright ears, its sharp mouth? A
might have been justifiable in taking
it for a case of ‘ Grecian Bend,’ it is
true ! But where he found any other
resemblance to a modern belle, I can
not imagine. Come, let us be off! I
must carry you home to your wives.
I shall tell Mrs. A. how full your Lead
is of Miss *
Here A and B both spoke ; and a
warm dispute arose, each maintaining,
with considerable beat, his view ol
the matter, until finally they separated
in high dudgeon with each other.
A teacher, accompanied by one of
his pupils, overheard the dispute, and,
after the three friends—friends, alas !
no longer—had gone away he ap
proached the picture and, placing his
pupil successively in the positions
occupied by the three disputants re
spectively, he showed him that they
were all equally right in their descrip
tions of the picture. From the posi ;
tion occupied by C, it was evidenly a j
camelopard ; from B’s point of view, j
they saw a beet grotesquely fashioned i
to resemble a man ; and when they i
reached A’s stand-point they laughed i
heartily, on recognizing their ans !
tuque friend, the ancient vet youthful
Miss * *, for it really appeared to be
her portrait.
Pupil.—Had they only changed
places, they would soon have become !
convinced that each was right.
Teacher.—True. But of all things,
the most difficult to do is to disabuse |
one’s self of opinions already formed,
of prepossessions, of prejudices, aud
view a matter of dispute from the
stand point ot an antagonist.
P. Isn’t it a pity tlmt. we cannot do
so? What an end to disputes there
would be! We would, then, live in
peace ; whereas, now,•men appear to
wage continual war against each other
on Subjects the most trifling as well
as the gravest. When will mankind !
learn true wisdom and live in peace ?
T. Such a peace would be stagna
tion, and be utterly destructive ot all
true life. Discussions are salutary. 1
A Spaniard has called them “the wise j
mothers of truth.” Without them
truth would often fail to appear Show
me a nation where they never discuss, I
never dispute, and I will show you a
people coarse and ignorant and slavish.
Riscussicns, disputes, and parties are
essential to the life, the well-being,
the happiness, the liberty, the inde
pendence of a people—to the correc
tion of abuses, to the puritj of man*
ners, morals and religion. There
should, of course, be moderation ; and
where each side is only interested in
the discovery of the truth, or of what
is best, all things considered, under
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 30, 1873.
the given circumstances, then there
will be mutual forbearance, mutual
charity. Free discussion is worth
any price. Truth is never afraid of
it, however wide its range.
P. But do you mean that there is
always more or less truth on each
side of every question or dispute ?
One, it seems to me, must always be
right and the other wrong.
f. Don t forget the dispute which
we heard just now about the picture.
P. Ido not. It confuses me, but
does not convince me. Is it the same
way in questions of law, politics, tnor
als and religion ?
T. Largely so, perhaps. Yet each
disputant is not absolutely riidit, of
course, as in the case of the picture.
That only teaches us that the differ
ent views taken by contending parties
are not as contradictory, frequently, as
the contestants themselves usually
»
suppose. V, hat I wish to impress
upon you is this : There is generally
a great deal of truth on each side of
every controversy. With regard to
some things, it is true, we cannot dis
pute without ceasing to be rational
creatures. But the first, the elemen
tal truths with regard to which all men
agree, are comparatively few in minis
ber. Matlvematieal truth is a also in
dubitable. But consider these propo
sitions :
Socrates is dead.
Socrates is not dead.
, These two proposition can not both
be true at the same Time ; yet much ;
of the reasoning which goes to con
vince us of either one, or which the j
disputants employ to try to convince i
us, may be true, and much false.
Was Ceasar a great man ?
Was Brutus a true patriot
Much that is true mav be urged pro
and con in the case of each of these j
questions ; but the decision of either,
affirmatively or negatively, does not j
declare all the reasoning on the oppo
site side to be false.
Sometimes it happens that both
sides seem to be equally true, that is
the opposite positions taken by the
two sides ; and again, they are equal
ly false.
P. Please give me examples, for I
am most curious to consider the illus
trations. What you say to mo, in
spite of the teaching of the picture,
appears to be incredible.
T. Corax taught Tisias rhetoric
with the understanding that Tisias
should pay him a.certain sum of mon
ey on the day that he pleaded and
gained his first cause. But as Tisi
as appeared to be in no hurry to enter
upon the practice of his profession,
Corax arraigned him before the magis
trate and spake thus :
“ Know, O, Tisias, that whatever
be the decision of the Court you will
still owe me the sum promised. For,
if the judge decides in my favor, I can
justly claim it under the law ; but it
against me, 1 can, nevertheless demand
it, according to the terms of our con
i 11
tract.
To which Tisias replied :
O, Corax, master of mine, than
whom none was ever wiser, with your
own wisdom will I confute you.—
Should the judge decide lor me. then
under the law will I owe you nothing.
Should his decision be against me,
then by the terms of our contract,
having lost my first cause, will I owe
you nothing.”
P. As the picture puzzled me, *o
does this amuse me. It seems to me
that each makes an appeal, or a con
tingent one, from the decision of the
tribunal before which the cause is
pending to another one—from a court
of law to the court of conscience. Is
it possible for the decision of a Court
of justice to be so exactly conforma
ble to law that it cannot be contested,
before an earthly tribunal, and yet so
wrong that the successful contestant
cannot, in conscience, take full advan
tage of it ?
T. lam glad you perceive the ob
ject I had in view in giving you that
example. There is ambiguity about
it; but the particular nature of the
fallacy I need not point out now.—
Let us consider your last question. It
is possi le for a decision to be legal
ly right yet morally tar on g.
P. You astonish me ! Aie our laws,
our courts of justice, our governments
so defective ?
T They are undoubtaply very im
perfect, and it often happens, I repeat,
that something legally right is moral
ly very wrong. I will specify some
cases or classes of cases :
1. Undisputed posession of land for
a number of years, specified in the law,
vests the legal title, under certain cir
cumstauces, iu the apppropriator.
This is morally wrong.
2. Divorces for any other than Gos
pel cause are morally wrong.
3. Discharges from indebtedness
under bankrupt acts and homestead
exemptions are morally wrong.
P. I fully agree with you in the
first two ; but do you really think
that one is wrong in taking advantage
of bankrunpt acts and homestead ex
emptions ?
T. The policy of such acts, as now
enforced, I consider positively inju
j Hous to the moral tone of society, en
couraging, as they do, or, at any rate,
holding out a temptation to, fraud.
I spoke, however, particularly as to
the discharges under those laws from
indebtedness. It is well, perhaps, for
the law to step sometimes between a
debtor and rapacious creditors, and
give the former some relief from even
the just demands of the latter ; but
the object of the relief should be, not
to release him from all legal obliga
tions to satisfy those just demands,
but to place him in a better condition
to comply with them. And when the
law does absolutely release him, as
is now the practice, conscience does
not, but requires the man, if ever able
to do so, to liquidate the indebtedness
to the last farthing. An honorable
debtor may, ttien, take advantage of
such laws, even as now administered,
but only to place himself in a better
condition to meet those just demands
from which he has a legal release ;
conscience giving him no release, un
til, ii ever within his power, lie dis
charges his moral obligation by liquid
ating all the demands of his creditors.
And this rule public opinion, and es
pecially the Church, ought to enforce.
Mr. \Y . YV. Corcoran, the great
Washington banker, failed in business
in 1823. “In 1825 he compromised
his indebtedness in a manner satisfac
tory to his creditors, without the
least stain on his reputation, or the
loss of his credit.” Returning to bu
siness he prospered, and, years after,
having acquired the means of doing
so,, he called upon his old creditors
and, notwithstanding he had their
written release, he paid the balance
of their claims, principal and interest
—the sum being more than double the
original debt.
F. 1 hat is truly a noble example;
and well worthy is he of the line,
“ AN HONEST MANS THE NOBLEST WORK
OF GOI).”
But suppose creditors fully forgive
a debtor ?
T. Then is he fully released. But he
"’ill still do well, if ever able, to fol
low' Mr. Corcoran’s glorious vJ example
jSo man is ever required to do impos
sibilities, but he must discharge everv
duty to the best of his ability. Eter
nal justice will hardly be satisfied with
anything else.
F- But are there no circumstances
under which one would be perfectly
justifiable in taking tfie full and com
plete advantage of such k;\vs—the le
gal release being good in morals—so
that, although becoming as rich as
Croesus afterwards, one would be
under no moral obligation to discharge
his old indebtedness ?
T. The following circumstances are
the most* justifiable of whioh I can
now think. Ais B’s security ; and B
avails himself the bankrupt act or
the homestead exemption to avoid
paying the debt, and so throws it up
on A. If A, to save himself, takes
advantage of such a law, he is, per
haps, humanly speaking, not so much
to blame. But the Court of Heaven
requires clean hearts and hands. Let
him then beware.
P Suppose creditors force a debtor
into bankruptcy ?
T It is. perhaps, as much his fault
as his misfortune ; but if altogether
his misfortune, we must remember,
whilst sympathizing with him, that
at the JBctr of God a mere leg l re
lease will be worth nothing. We
must do ichat ice can , repairing ad
errors and wrongs as far as possible.
We must leave undone no duty
which is in our power to do. Omis
sion of duty is, perhaps, as sinful as
commission of crime. “ These ought
O
ye to do and not leave the others un
done.”
Public opinion aud especially the
Church are very diliquent in not en
forcing a higher standard of duty in
the Several classes of cases mention
ed.
Now let us return to the other en
quiry. May both sides of a contro
veroy be false ?
Every proposition, simple and ex
press, is, of course, either or false.
But sometimes the controversy is wa
ged thus:
Milo killed Clodius.
Clodius killed Milo.
If Clodius and Milo are both living,
then both propositions are false. It
Milo is living and Clodius dead—ei
ther of disease, or by the hand of Cur
tius— then are both propositions false.
If Milo and'Clodius are both dead,
each dying of wounds received from
the hands of the other, both proposi
tions are true. If both Milo and Clo
dius are dead, neither having been
killed by the other, both propositions
are false. If either killed the other
and was then killed himself by some
friend of the slain, one is true and the
other is false.
Such a conti oversy is of the nature
of counter suits or cross-indictments
at law.
Some years after Augustus had dis
tributed the lands of Cremona among
his soldiers, Marcus, one of his vete
rans, who had been in quiet posses
sion for some time of his rustic home,
was greatly surprised at the sudden
appearance of Sartor who claimed to
have an imperial rescript or grant as
signing the fields occupied by Marcus
to him.
Marcus had Sartor arraigned before
the Praetor cn a charge of forging a
decree of the emperor, and Sartor re
taliated by bringing a counter charge
against Marcus. The Praetor, after a
patienr hearing, examining witnesses
aud experts, dismissed the contestants,
neither having made out a case against
the other, and he being unable to de
eide with regard to the character of
the rescripts.
In this case it is evident that both
rescripts were genuine, or both were
forged, or one was genuine and the
other forged. No other supposition
is possible. But the means of inves
tigation at his command did not al
low the Praetor to arrive at a satisfac
faciory decision. The contestants
were, therefore, dismissed without
prejudice to the claims of either—
Marcus retaining possession, and the
courts remaining open to the appeal
of either party.
This was, therefore, a drawn bat
tie.
Sometimes the controversy takes
this form :
Who struck Billy Patterson ? or*
Who wrote the letters of Junius ?
Again, it is a proposition ot which
neither the verity nor the falsity can
be established by the resources at our
command, as, indeed, was the case in
the contest between Marcus and Sar
tor.
Sometimes the discussion may be
with regard to the meaning of a prop
position— a.s the reply of the oracle to
Pyrrhus when about to make war
against Rome, “ Know, O, Pyrrhus,
that you the Romans can conquer.”
Whichever conqueis, the proposition
is true.
The best and the wisest ot men dif
fer on many points. Endless have
been the discussions about original
sin, predestination, free-will, apostoli
cal succession, and the like. Even
the apostles had their contentions, Pe
ter with Paul, and Paul with Barna
bas. However holy they were, yet
outside of inspiration they were noth
ing but men. And well for us is it
that they were so ; for had they been
perfect, we would despair of following
them. If in the ardor of their zeal
unguarded words did sometimes es
cape them, such things were but the
consequence of their humanity, were
not inconsistent with real sanctitv,
and were consumed by the very fire
of the zeal which occasioned them.
P. I shall not soon forget this les
sou. It will prove of great value to
me, teaching me patience, forbear
bearauce aud charity towards oppo
nents—towards all mankind—and
that in discussions generally there
may bemuch of truth on each side. I
have learned, too, to love to look for
truth.
T. To do good, to give his pupils
right views of life and of things gens
erally, to inspire them with a love of
the truth, to kindle an enthusiasm for
the search for truth, to show them
how to look for the truth aud to rec
ognise it when fouud, and to cultivate
in them true nobility of soul,, such
should be objects of every teacher
worthy of the name.
But we have reached your home.—
I return you to your parents, whom
salute for me. We may take another
excursion ere lomr.

The Sabbath Day.
BY R. J. GAINES.
This is the beautiful Sabbath morn
ing, day of sacred rest; kept in honor
and comemoration of our Great Crea
tor and Supreme Ruler. After all tills
stupendous Universe, this mighty
ponderous system of worlds, had been
created, perfected aud brought into
existence, w ith all the beauties, glories
aud splendors, with which it is maut
led aud decorated ; then pausing as it
were for a moment, in the sublime
splendor cf creative power, the noblest,
grandest work ot all, Hashed upon the
omniscient mind, aud the lifeless clay
sprang into light and animation,mould
ed aud formed and fashioned .in the
likeness and image of its Great Crea
tor.
Oh! how much of marvelous skill,
divine wisdom aud creative power,
was displayed iu so short a time, that
the foundations of this beautiful and
massive structure, should be laid aud
consummated iu the brief space of
six days. In the contemplation of
this subject, the mind is lost iu mys
terious labarynth of thought, and we
i are ready to exclaim in the language
of Holy Writ: O Lord! how inscru
table and past finding out are thy
, ways, whose love endures from gener
ation to generation, and whose mer
cies are over all thy people.
As God stood upon the proud terra
firma of his works, the All, seeing eye,
that pervades the immensity of space
i and penetrates the depths of the
earth, saw and comprehended in the
twinkling of a glance, the power, the
glory and the magnificence ot all his
creation, and viewing it in the light
of superior intelligence. He pronounc
ed it good.
1 here was cessation from labor, the
work was completed ; and all this un
rivaled system of worlds, was put in
complete and harmonious operation.
The signal had been given—the word
had been spoken : God said let there
be light and there was light.
The beautiful Garden of Eden lay
spread out like a sea of gold, in its
original purity, There in the midst
of this glorious Elysium, stood our
tlrst great primogenitor, harmless and
undefiled, in the exacted beauty of
his primeval innocence. No trail
of the serpent had yet mared the
splendor and glory of this earthly Par
adise. The fragrant rose and the
sweet-scented myrtle, had felt not the
sting of the worm, nor the mildew cf
blight. The heavenly zephyrs wafted
their grateful incense among the wav
ing trees and luscious fruits of this
holy and concentrated spot.
What a retinue of splendor and j
magnificence encircled the Universe,
as the light of the great Luminary ot
day, came gushing and streaming
with all the power and beauty of di
vine and radiated love—fresh from
the plastic hands of the Great Author
of its existence—lighting up as it
were with one grand panorama, the
illimitable and boundless infinitude of i
space. No hallowed foot had tread j
the soil from the beautiful blue eas
tern sky, far down the western slope,
and round to the orient light again.—
It lay in that still and placid state in
which it was created, calm and sweet
as a child asleep. Upon the great
bosom of nature were no marks of
divine pleasure, no sound disturbed
the deep serenity of the scene, save
now and then, the murmurs of the
bright waters, as they joyfully sported
in the sunshine of Heaven.
I pon the seventh day of creation,
the first beautiful Sabbath morning,
methinks ! the sun rose with unusual
splendor and brilliancy, upon a per
fect and completed work. Jehovah
had pronounced his benediction upon,
and the seal of divine approbation
was over all his works, and he rested
from his labors, in the conscious abil
ity of his power and supremacy to
maintain and support this vast and
mighty system of worlds, which in
his creative and boundless wisdom,
lie had formed and fashioned in the
similitude of his own greatness.
Oh, then what sweet memories clus
ter around the absence of this delight
ful day. God blessed the seventh
day and sanctified it, because in it he
rested from all his works which he
had created and made. Therefore, it
is nothing more than our just and rea
sonable service, as well as our indis
pensable duty, that we should keep and
suitably commemorate this liolv day.
YV hat can present a more pleasing
and delightful picture, to the truly
Christian heart, than the comforts and
blessings that are felt and experien
ced throughout the land, upon this
grand and auspicious day ; in the va
rious modes and plans iu wfflich songs
of praise and gratitude are offered up
to the Great Author of our existence,
the donor of every good and precious
gift.
are both religiously and raor
ally bound to observe this day and
keep it holy, because it has been sanc
tified and set apart, by the God of our
salvation.
YYe should thank Him with all our
hearts, for the various and manifold
ways, in which ho has ordained and
instituted through divine wisdom aud
mercy, that we should honor and celt
ebrate this sacred day. Whether at
home, iu the sabbath school room, or
engaged in public devotional exercises
or else offering up iu secret our sweet
yet silent invocations, to the Great
God of the Universe, it is all received
as evidence of our determination, to
keep this day holy in the sight of the
Lord; and in discharge ot the duties
aod obligations we owe to our Great
Creator and Benefactor.
