Tn THU ADVERTISER of Jan. 1 Ith "Eileen Alanna*' tries to deny that her first article was Intended for the writer, but it ls all a farce and is too thin to bear its own weight. Hbo set out with the express pur pose of pulling down my profes sion with the idea of raising ber ? own standard by letting off a little gas. But being cf un elastic eon-'; science, her wrath and vitupera-j ( lions continues to run olf like the I | juice from n, cano mill. "Eileen j Alanna," pienso give yourself no j, uneasiness, as I am known and es- ? tablished, while you ure almost un known, and almost altogether ob scure in the County that you claim gave you birth. You also try to make or lead the public to believe | that rou are able and have com- , posed simple music, but your mod-, , esty hud not permitted you to pre-1 sent them for publication, although ! " you never indulge in self-praise. Tho mu-de you composed surely must have been quito simple, as ?t * came from euell a weak, simple person. And us for your modesty, it seems next to an Impossibility for a modest or relined lady to t make au al tack on a person with- , out a provocation, and one who , never spoke a harmful word of you. i will leave it for th* public to Judge if a very modest or refined lady ? would condescend to write such an article, you being the attacking ' party. Furthermore, any one who ' will road your article of the 11th will discover that you are con- < stanlly contradicting yourself. I will agree that my head is small, but it is large enough to prevent mo from meddling with any one's affairs except my own, while yeti 1 are trying to meddle with mino, and I'm afraid neglecting your own. 1 am not surprised that you are ignorant of my work in music, . for I have not tim? to leave my place of business to inform you. As self-praise Is a prominent , th?me in your article, I will eulo? , gize myself by saying that I have men in several different States teaching music in the different brunches with success, who pro cured license from myself. You accuse mo of putting otr the Wizard Oil verse as original, which is false. I only sent lt us my seuti ments, as I thought you neted in your performance on the piano ns I Imagine "Mary Ann" dbl. I ac knowledge my verso was borrowed. You affirm that you did not obtain a single musical idea in the old fashioned singing school of mino ( taught in tho little village, and you ? huvo not much of an idea yet, so . you ure holding your own very well. "Eileen Alanna,'* ns there is no science involved, 1 will bid you 1 adieu. As you are tho opposite j sex I will not answer your article as roughly as lt merits. I have been solicited by friends of both sex to treat you with silent con-' tempt. Henceforward your com munications will be passed unno ticed. THOUOUOH HAS?. COMPENSATION. It is interesting to indice how the law of compensation runs through everything. The civil enactment that compel?a me to compensate one who bus preformed for me a piece of work la ju?d a special in st aneo of tho application of a law that runs through all nature and ls as general as tin? law of gravitation Itself. That I should pi'y my ser vant or employ?e tor ?vork done for me is not an arbitrary require ment that tho civil law of the coun try lias imposed upon me just sim ply to show its authority or because I am weak and cannot resist supe rior force. Not at all; wages are due by the law of compensation and the law that requires this only a special payment is application of a vory general principle. The law of compensation runs through tho universe. Thee is no r?gion throughout beaven, earth or lo ll, where tho law does not bold With absolute and indisputable authori ty. ?So that tho question is not, when does it lu ld good? But where is the placo that It does not ? If I am sick it is the law of compensa tion that provides nie physicians, medicines and nurses, and requites ino with the Joy ami comfort of re turning health. I am compensa ted for my sulferlng by the pleas ure ot feeling well ?gain. If the sickness should prove fatal and re move mo from the world chi isl lan- , i ty remunerates mo with the assu-i rance of a higher and a better life. If I loso my pocket-book T am com pensated in a good degree with tho comfortable feeling that I did not IOHO n limb or my lifo. If I hurt myself by a fall or a miss-stop I have tho compensating r?duction that it will soon bo well again. If a lo>ig-winded talker gels hold of me and by his Inveterate loquacity threatens to talk me to death I com pensato myself with the thought lt must be ulong lane that never make a turn. And we novor bud .mich n protracted wet spoil that it was not nt lust succeeded by a dry day. I bra co mysolf up with the fact that the end will certainly come by und by. If it man deceives mo and talcos advantage of my disposition to bo generous nnd nccomodntlng I am compensated hy th? fact that I know that mun botter now und will not trust bini nguiu. If a lo vor pays hi? suit to tho object of hU affections and she anya no, ho is rewarded for bia disappointment by tho comforting roll oct lon that there uro ns good Anil in tho sen nu were ever caught out. If u mun runs for an office und ls defeated tho sweet principio of compensation is ready with its consolations that people cant appreciate meriti can't recog nize u good thing when they soe it, und that, bettor success will attend greater wisdom and riper experi ence will help him to will next time, If a congregation have their patience taxed, und their charity strained by longjdry prosy sermons they eau take comfort in the fact that the loog-wlndod preach er don't get n chance nt them more than onco or twice a week. And [fa preacher preaches long and faith fully to his people without seeing any fruit of hi? labors ho is comfor ted with the thought thut seed east into Hie ground may spring up :if ter many days. li'the funner has his crop ruined by Hoods or parched by drought ho ls sustained by tho fact that others will mako :i crop, if he does not, and that I ho Koverlgn Killer doeth till things well. Tho law of compensation ?Iso cuts both ways. Ii ls righteous ns well n.-j beneficent. If a niau commits n ?rimo retribution, which ls another form of compensation, will certain ly overtake him in some form or ?thor. Compensation is embedded ?ti the very nature of things. NEMO.
