Some people at the North are aston- j ished at our “Southern prejudices,” as they term them. If they would re-1 fleet a moment they would know that they themselves, as well as other peo ple, have not only prejudices, but some strong aversions. Whether right or I wrong is another question : but such is , the fact. Many persons in California; have an aversion to the Chinese. Some families in our Northern States have such a strong aversion to the negroes that they will employ none about their houses if they can possibly get a white servant; and the negro himself has a contempt for “poor white trash, ’ Out lie always did glory in a rich master. Prejudices, induced by long established custom and habits, cannot be broken and eradicated .in a few days; or a few years. It will take the educating in fluences of time, as well as the grace of God, to cure them. Let us all, then, deal leniently with one another’s prej udices, since we are brethren of a com mon Father, and have inherited very similar infirmities—our likes and dis likes differing with our different envi ronments in the formative period of life.— Western Recorder.
