He begins his letter with " dedueimj axiuiiu. '' We always tliought an axiom was a self-evident truth, but the gre.a; Markditle Dombastes Furioso says no â- lohiiston. Walker, Webster and Wurct- ter are all wrong : I, William Brown, ei- ScJiool Te;irher, deduce my axioms, ami the pteniisos I lay down are the 'saying". ift shrewd observers. In^ his first so-calleil axiom he states hi« inability or difficulty to distinguish be tweeu the wisdom of the wise and thi- tolly of the lisir-brained simpleton. Now. C(mimoii sense people have no diSiculty in makint; such distinction, or, to lue hir own phrase, " drawini; the line." Tlir common sense of the electors of East Gre.v drew the line quite distinctly and clc:irlv in the late election, when they had a saiu pie of each genua to choose from. Bui William's inability to draw the line is ei plained in his second ]>arugraph : Ht- states the desoent fa>m " grotesque pre- sumption " tu " drivelling imbecility was '"imperceptible." Thus, doubtle ipeaks feelingly his •xperience and gi 'at l«aat one reason wly he found i ilUtult to distinguish wisdom from fe Having iniMcd his vocation as lev'islatiir. he has now ttimed preacher and take* his two " sxioms or proverbs " as he cnlN them, for s, Wxt The Book the Mark dale Trufiices have placed in their schnol ctmtains a rare treasury of proverbp. which have been the admiration of th<' wiMW>dgi>od of iiy ages, but William oouldi wt tind anythmi; wise enough there fpr a text, so manufactures what hr calls proverbs for himself. His senuon (?) is an attempt to throw ridicule on the Bible and on the Trustees in placing it in the Markdale School ane thg^ authorizing what the Government nt Ontario had left unauthorized in defercnc to Romish influence. The letter is an il lustrstion of how far jiarty bi.is and pre judice can liliiid a man. who, atone timi had some credit for intelligence and a Ut tie i<."'ning. It contains no argunic.u and is unanswerable with argument, but. the res<dution that ho attempts to ridicul.: is eleicant in phraseology, rextonablu if, argument, loyal and patriotic in soati ment, and in its sturdy independence in claiminu for themselves and their child reii their constitutional rights as Bdti.iii subjects, is in bold contra^ to the jiaccii spirit and truculent subserviency c* men who are willine to forswear all ptofesseo principles of rii;ht, nnd are ever rr.vly to •<ell their nati<mal birtliricht f..rii iik-»« of JMittage. «».
