inn that we cau aet the matter right with
ttcuriihlo people In a few words we ngaiu re
turn to tba aubject. The following is wnai
we aaid aud all we said :

Im hI a teacher for a Urm of yearn a cor-
respondent of the Nutshell wanta to -uow

rimn h )nv it all their own war. iiuite irre
spective of tho "dear people" or their pref-
creucoH.
Now in tho first place it is perfectly
obvioiwthat as to whether the aliore reflocU
nrsm the trustees of Kyle Sounuary dependa
entirely on the truth or uutruth of the
statement of the Nutshell correspondent.
If he tells the truth theu they Had

reason to feel iiupncntea in wum wo
said If. however what he said wan untrue.
then our paragraph does not apply to them
ut all. and they should have reserved the
vials of their wrath for tho Nutshell exclu-
sively. The truth ia we took what it said
simply as a text for a general remark of uu-
niiestionable truth and had in our mind
an entirely different application. We did
not say as the NutHhell now alleges nor
think of saying that said trustees were "self-
seeking political demagogues" or "officials
in the church' but we dul decidedly intimate
that the classes thus described are too fre
quently in the habit of disregarding the will
the people. It was the IiutsheH
and not we that charged the trus
tees with the Mine thing and now it tries to
fasten its own sin upon us. But it is well
nown to be more remarkable for "cheek
than honesty.
The Nutshell goes on as follows :
We think it very unjust and inconsistent
nt. our trustees and town. Slurs and insin
uations are poor capital for a newspaper
especially one which professes to be run in
tne interest 01 a couuiv.
It would indeed have been very inconxin.
tent if we had really done what the Nutshell
charges for we have always doue the most
ample justice to Kyle in all respects. From
the beginning we have noticed favorably nil
her iinprovmeutH and spoken in compliiuen-
biry terms of all her business men and other
leading citizens. We also gave her Seminary
its trustees faculty etc. a handsome send-
oft" at its start and have repeatedly noticed
it favorably since. Every reader of the Fkke
Pbkss in Kyle aud elsewhere knows that
we are stating the exact truth. Yet the mo-
ment it is ttupjVKcd Unit wo have niado a
disparaging remark about its school man-
agementwithout waiting for the facts or
to give us a chance to explain all our past
services are forgotten and an effort is made
to hound us down as though wo were a crim

or discreditable to "whom it may concern?"
We have long been aware of some heart.
burnings between Kj-le and San Marcos or
rather on the part of tho former toward the
latter. The slurs and insinuations referred
to by the Nutshell have nearly all come from
its own town. Both personally and editor
ially we have heretofore ignored this state of
affairs. We have been entirely fnen dly to
Kyle and have studiously avoided saying
anything calculated to increase ill-feeling be-
tween tho places. Our readers all over the
county know that duriug the contest con-
cerning the location of the county seat the
Fkee Pkkss made it its special mission to
"pour oil upon the troubled waters."
Friends must be cheap iu Kyle when it is
sought to siigmatize one of the best the town
has ever had as an enemy on no better
grounds than this. Even if we had actually
done injustice in the paragraph uuder notice
our past eonrse ought to have demonstrated
that it was not intentional aud our columns
are always open for correction of any errors
we may make.
Upon the whole we canuot doubt that
the great body of the people of Kyle will up
ou a little reflection see the absurdity of this
"much ado about nothing" aud the injustice
which souie have sought to do us . iu their
name.

ThauU for your gift broad earth owun not

The weary years mil lack aud bring
Agaiu my Iwppj childhood
Iti pleasant home iu cherished liannts
Lapjied iu the fragrant wildwood.
A venenited fonu I see
The dearest 'tia my mother's
Her loving smile and glance on me
My luster and my brother
And ever from her hand to wine
When but a little ahaver
A lump of sugar was the sign
And seal .of food behavior !
Again while chill the March winds blow
And snow the earth is wrapping
Forth with the larger Imys I go
The sugar orchnrd tapping.
The holes are bored the spiles are driven
The troughs adjusted squarely j .
Then when a copious thaw is given
The '"sweety sap"t flows rarely.
Then busily from tree to tree
' The water-hauler iasses
And gathers in the sap to be
Made sugar or mc -lasses.

He liears the crystal treasure
Aud pours in mighty poplar troughs
Iu floods of larger measure.
There o'er the furnace in n row
Are rauged the caldrons boiliug
And growing sweets matured below
Howard the owner's toiling.

In saccharine succession
Iu plenteous sugar culminate
The farmer's proud possession.
All day the work goes bravely on
Nor with the nightfall pisses
With "stirrings off" and mirth and fun
Of rosy lads and lasses.
At night the dim woods half concealed
Majestic calm aud solemn
In tho bright fire-light stand revealed
In many a leaf-crowned column.
So pass the hours till Spring apace
Comes ou no more a rover
Bringing the brighter warmer days
Aud sugar making's over 1
I mark the lambtongue's spotted leaf
The crowfoot follows early ; J
The tomtit flits with pauses brief
The blue-bird whistles cleariy.
Such are the visions which attend
Upon this grateful token
While thoughts and sympathies they lend
Too deep to e'er be spoken.
Thanks for your gift ! could aught on earth
An added value give it ?
Yes there remains its crowniug worth
From your hand to receive it!

Seuator EdnmndB writing for the Chris-
tian Union on "How to Succeed in Public
Life" has the courage and honesty to
say : "There is perhnps no one thing so
valuable to the right progress of civilized so
ciety as the courage of sincere individual
opinion ; and as regards public affairs the
man who tries honestly an accurate conclu-
sion and bravely to maintain and advance
it without counting the munlier of ins ad-
versaries will fulfill the best mission of a
citizen aud will be. whether in public or
private station the true politician often the
real statesman the best teacher and the
noblest leader."
