bon•4hhny persona who ought to bo cared for
by their own kindred become a charge upon
the public. This tendency ought in every
way to be rebuked and resisted.
The other old-fashioned virtue to which
I referred is the manly independence which -
is the substratum of all sound character. I
heard, not long ago, these words from the
lips of a bravo euldief of the Union army—
a man whose patriotism and devotion to
that army no one who knows Sim will ven-
ture to dispute : "The one great cause of
the increase.of able-bodied paupers during
the past few years is the lavish disposal of
pensions. And this extravagance," he
went on, "Is not so much to be uharged up,
on the old soldiers, as upon the demagogues
and pension agents who have pushed these
schemes for their own aggrandizement." I
will add not one word of comment ; I was
not a soldier. Nor shall r reveal the name
of my friend ; I do not wish to expose him
to a torrent of abuse. To whatever cause
the decay of independence may be attribut-
ed, the loss is a very serious o.ue; and those
who labor for the removal of the evils of
poverty and pauperism may well remember
that the foundation of all sound social
structure is the sentiment of self-help, and
the just pride that would rather live upon
a crust honestly earned than feast, as a de.
pendent, on any mans bo}inty. —Washing-
