merchant in Panama City with the recommendation made by HOLLAND. the Chamber of Commerce. There is hardly any who is not acquainted with this monster. Our society is full of them. Wherever one goes he comes into contact with him either in his own clotnes or in borrowed ones to make him look exactly the opposite of what he is; but he is present and busy in every place seeking to injure another by maliciously uttering false reports to defame and caluminate respectable persons. The perpetual desire of this beast in human form is to bring discredit upon others by slandtrous utterances, tales and reports, or all of them together, with malice and design to injure the reputation of another. In other words, the sole purpose of the slanderer is to detame. It is an effort to deprive one of something which he possesses, and of which he (the sianderer) is pauperized.
It has been our experience, and no doubt that of others that although the slanderer is not absolutely confined in the element of the gutter, the great majority of them are persons of ill repute. They suffer from loneliness, and so they try to defame and vilify others with the hope that they too will join the ranks of the unwashed, and take up their abode with them. And it must be observed that persons of ill repute cannot be affected by slander for the reason that what is said of them is generally true. Nothing lost to them, or damaged, by a statement of that of which they stand guilty, therefore, they are not slandered; but the honorable man, the chaste woman, the child of good conduct and behavior are those who become the victims of slaughter in the abattoir of jealousy, malice, and ill will. It is into these that the venom of a lying tongue is injected with intent to paralize and deaden them; to swerve them from their paths of rectitude and honor, and place them in the spit of social depravity wherein they (the slanderers) love to dwell, there to make a holocaust of them.
But the slandered, although driven to the disquietude of protecting his good name at times, seldom loses that which the slanderer seeks to deprive him of, for whereas one character and honor are of positive import, the desire to deprive one thereof is negative by their genuineness. Further, the desire to slander is always instigated by enmity due to malice. It is the offspring of iniquitous con ception shaped in malevolence. It is the rancourous disciple of mischief and spite. It is the evidence of hate intensified. It is the manifestation of a feeling of grudge and hostility. It is an urge motivated by evil intent to turn the mind and feeling away. It is continued aversion with the disposition to injure, which is lingering and enduring, through sometimes impotent. Slander is all this and more. it is an abomination and the enemy of love and friendship.
Now, since slander is what it is, and since the slanderer is the progenitor of a doctrine that is false in fact, the same must be treated as being merely injurious and not pernicious because while slander is very capable of doing harm, it is not destructive to anybody save the slanderer himself, who in addition, has his reward. In reference to him, holy writ has this to say. his tongue is a fire. world of iniquity. it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of Nature. Every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind; but the tongue can no mantame.
It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
If we might be pardoned, we want to say that the slanderer is another of our social enemies in this community. He is here and very active, both male and female. They scatter their seeds of envy, hatred, and malice far and wide, and they seek to destroy in others that which themselves should have but have not. They hunger and thirst after the destruction of other peoples integrity and honor; but these two are formidable possessions, and it will take something more substantial than slander to deprive one of these sterling qualities. And verily, the tongue of the slandered and maligner will son be converted into a rope which he will tie around his own neck, and the life shall be choked from his body. Then, a useless life shall be gone, and as the tongue was his only companion in life, so also shall his dead body find companionship with the rope that was plaitted by his own hands, and interred with his bones. 3: LA MASCOTA Just Received a Large Assortment of ENGLISH TWEEDS In the very Latest Designs Stop and analyze it. there nothing in life that gives more pure happiness than making someone else happy.
