1. A man named Payne wrote a seemingly-ordinary song entitled "Home,
Sweet Home." This piece, on account of certain sentiments conveyed, at
once received the seal of nearly universal approbation. It is safe to
say Mr. Bachelor and the class in which he may be placed were not among
those who accorded extraordinary attention to the little song. He is and
they are, therefore, at once separated from the vast mass of the people.
Evidently the sentiments of the song were based on experiences largely
known to the general gender and unknown to Mr. Bachelor.
2. The man Daniel McFarland was so worthless that his wife refused to
live with him, and, sadly enough, fell in love with still another man.
The worthless husband, discovering that Richardson was coming into
property which had not always been his own, resorted to an ambuscade,
and killed Richardson. To the dullest comprehension this act revealed a
deep jealousy. Jealousy is founded on a solid fear of losing something.
In this unhappy family, where the man believed he had nothing to care
for, he suddenly awoke to find he had thrown away a pearl richer than
all his tribe.
3. It seems to me as natural for a man to establish a home, with a wife,
as to grow a beard on his face.
