Things Out of Reason: —Music in
a sick room or closeby. A sight
of trouble for the amount of relig
ion. Big pretentions and little faith.
Slamming the door when a gentle
push will close it. Pretending to
carry the stall of knowledge and
refinement, and yet doing and liv
ing like a . Wailing two years
for an answer that can be answer
ed in less than a second. Society
that’s not society, Thinking ev
erybody is under your subjection.
A lady that’s not a laily. Putting
religion on the outside of a church.
A member that’s not a member.
Trying to be true to others, and un
true to yourself, Trying to break
down a business by withdrawing
your patronage of fifty cents. Gir
ingdollars, when’you should give
cents. Giving cents when you
should give sense. Living in fine
houses to keep company with the
lesser. Trying to blot a stain from
your character, when it has devel
oped lo last through ages. Trying
to ride the good name of your kin
folk ffideath, A hill before a town.
A rise before a fall. Going in sheeps’
clothing at home, and going abroad
with that of the hyena. Going
to the country grocery and buying
vhiskey on credit, when you have
the money in your pocket, and
hoodwinking the outward show of
religion, by pushing yourself into
its purity of hymns of praise.
