ROBERT NEILSON,
General Sup t.
Prom A Child.
Editor op the Advocate:
Sin: The immorfal Schiller says:
"Wo Alios lletit knnn Carl nllcln nlcht
hnRsen"
of which the translation is literally,
"Where all nicn love, Charles can
alone not hate.;'' Where a multitude of
well-reputed literati crowd the col
umns of our weeklies, with produc
tions of their stupendously profound
genius, the undersigned begs leave to
announce, with nil due humility, that
he has no dec ire to stand idly by while
they are h'tivirg the frtn 'to themselves.
The thought' ol becoming involved 1 it
n controversy is not a facinating one,
particularly if the possibility of being
array ifigi nst the opinions of parties
endeared by the tie of friendship and
fraternity guises. What, however,
may 'ordinarily be distasteful, can
under circumstances assume a Hape
not only destroying its rcpulslvencss
but, li'deed, adtiptiug it to our sup
posed, sincere' supposed, most refined,
tastes and rendering it a source of en
chantment to the soul. Many times
exterior forces, arising from a peculi
arity of certain conditions, bringing
their influence to bear upon us, dictate
actions, which would never have
been prompted by any motive, self
created Not . docmiug it necessary to
describe the force bearing upoi tills
particular cac, it exists nevertheless,
ami may prove at the proper time how
strangely we ave drawn into doiiiR
what we mostly desire to avoid. Now
that "we arc in for it," there breaks
upon us the ravishing bliss given
birth to by the assurance that we are
surrounded by, and not deemed tin-j
worthy of, those Titans of deep
thought, those men of thrillinjj in
tellect, those creatures of gigantic
mind, whoso generously are advanc
ing an illimitable number of golden
opinions concerning anything but our
late Teachers' Institute, (Rcquicnwtt in
paoc) those men who possess to an
enormous degree the faculty of mak
ing much ado 'bout nothing; those
men who, for the purpose of im
mortalizing thoiv precious little selves,
of course, under pretence of benefit
ing their leilow-townsuicn In par
ticular, and all humanity in general,
by indulging in violent persona)
i attacks, instead of dispassionately
meeting the question at issue.
The feeling that it, U our privilege
to nttfni.'t adding an item is so irresis
tible that, 1 1 jct!.li awaro of our limited
knowledge a;)', our pretentious be
most humble, we are hWayed into
availing ourselves of it.
How strange, how wondmusjy
strange, it seems to us commonplace
mortals that, although under the vaat
canopy of luavcn, in any country,
clinic and land, .as far as the glorious
sun sheds his rays and th's mii-l Ijpams
of the ivioon wake in bis trail, wher
ever the niarvi lottsly L'autiful stcUa
spheres twinkle f.miiiug!y upon mor
tals in sub'inie, overpowering gran
dure, as they revolve in their orbits
seldom men can be found who, in an
animated discussion, will give their
entire attention to facts instead of
pilile-sly la.-'titg away at each other,
how "tranie, we say, that such a de
plorable conduct should be resorted to
by a host of .-s-ies gracing the lloro. of
Kid;: way, Eik County, Pa. "A
Worn in'' having assorted the right of
any free born American citizen, by
pubicly expressing an opinion in the
most becoming and lady-like manner,
provokes the Wrath of a self-styled
"Man'' (?) who proems to an amusement-loving
public, in your last issue,
an exceedingly rich document, in
which he gives vent to his just indig
nation at the preposterous presump
tion of having bicn held "Institutes"
in Elk county before the telephone
era. What a magnificent punster this
excellently great "Man" is, to be sure!
Alas! that even lie should be human
enough to ire, for listen. In his glo
nous harangue he mamiests a great
degree of surprise that all 'crunks"
are not confined to Washington. Has
the great philosopher become entirely
oblivious of his own valuable exis
tence that ho should ignore the fact of
there being one more "crank" iicsides
the parlies lie eo daintily handles
without the city limits of the National
capital? Is such an extent of unself
ishness, Innocence and modesty
possible in this era of railways, tele
graphs and telephones?
On the whole the "Man's" ingen
iously written article is a valuable
scrap of literature, inasmuch as one
can read it from last to first, from the
bottom upwards, commence iu the
centre, peruse it srfvs-xag-wise or stand
all the words not containing over ten
or eleven Fyllnblcs on their head and
obtain as much inf'irmation as wlym
recited from top to bottom. Things
have come to a lamentable pas, in
deed, if every person appearing in
public discii.-sion is to be subjected to
a treatment which bestows upon him
such stu passingly beautiful apellutions
as "crank" and "croak."
Why n vile a man for having ex
pressed sincere opinions, strong
convictions? It may appear ''Mau-ly"
so to do, certainly, but not teutle, uot
clu i.-tiitn. The "Director" whose
article was printed simultaneously
with thut of "A Woman" remains
lint!'--Hn bed. Why? For considera
tions which ml"ht turn the "crank so
as to opelate ill-a-trously upon the
deep-laid plans of "A Man." Why
exhaust all that carefully dictionary
searcht d execration . vocabulary on
))t?Whynot bombard both parties
with his annihilating missiles? Why
leave the "Director" unmolested,
while the entire supply of. venom is
hissed at the person hiding behind I?)
the tauzy dres4 of a woman? iSeenis to
me tlie imagination of the very 'un
sophisticated "Mail" lias led him into
a grave error, that of supposing the
"Woman" appeared behind ber gauzy
dress. (A noyel etyltThf donning gar
ments.) O ancta implicitaa.
If the "Mau" despises the custom of
writing over a fictitious name, we will
at any time lie ready to state the real,
provided he do likewise, until then
we shall bo obliged to "ensconce our
selves," in order to complete the
family, "behind the gauzy dresses" of
A Child.
