feels awfully poor because you car

Lawyers stand up in court houses
before jurors, in tin presence of
large audiences, and denounce men
as liars, scoundrels, thieves and
prejured villians, and when court
adjourns the men appear to harbor
no ill will against them. But let
a newspiper faintly intimate that
a man’s character is blemished, and
he has to confront a horse pistol,
stand a libel suit or suffer what the
people think to be the greatest of
all mortifications —lose a subscrib
er.
Our garments are old, and tat
tered and torn ; the soles of our
shoos are shockingly worn ; the
crown and the rim are gone from
our hat ; our cupboard is empty —
riot even a rat would sty'round the
house for fear he would starve, or
that we might think him a good
chance to carve; and yet we ask
nothing but what is our due; and
if we but had it —perhaps,sir, from
you—instead of this said tale of
woe that we sing, we’d joyfully
shout and live like a king.

“Progress” Writes.
M r. Editor :
I have no desire to enter into a
controversy with the Reverend S.
C. Hawkins over the question of
“Sunday Mails,” and write this
only to deny most emphatically
that anv “thrush” rnadr*
Rev. Wills. I have a high regard
for Mr, Will-, and did not have
him in mind when I wrote the
communication signed “Progress.”
This being “the land of the free
and the home of the brave.” every
man and woman, after having at
tended Divine services in the morn
ing, and when dinner is o’er, and
the mail is up. should have the free
American right to read their let
ters from friends and loved ones,
and their paper, also, if they wisti.
Of course, if there he a few who
do not want theif mail on Sunday,
why, they can wait and call tor it
Monday, or. later, if they wi-b-uo
compulsion about that.
In conclusion, I suggest less Pur
itanism, and more liberality and
progressiveness ; and, my word for
it, the churches and the town and
county will be the better for it.
Progress.
