          NOT  SO  MUCH  OF  AN  EXPLOIT  AFTER  ALL. ---|
It is a remarkable and significant fact that all the galliant exploits of abolition reformism, when investigated, usually turn out to be the the cream de cream of cowardice, and their success solely attributable to superior strength and numbers.  These violations of law and order and inciters of mobocracy are prone to extol and magnify every fact of cowardly ruffianism into a heroic and [?] exploit in behalf of their belebbed [?].  The conductors of their organs seem to be more anxious to cater to the morbid appetites of the low, the vile and the vicious than to promote order, and [?] into the minds of their readers a respect for law and that feeling of sanity that is so essential to preserve the peace and quiet of communities.
          An exploit of  Miss Bone,  in taking a Butternut breastpin from the person of a young lady in Noble Township, while a widow lady held her, has been the subject of public scandal, and the commended from a source entitled to but little respect.  If the statement as published had been literally true, it would not have been creditable to Miss Bone, whom we presume is a beautiful, accomplished and amiable young lady, and for aught we know to the contrary possessing all the personal blandishments of the seven graces combined, and the courage of a Joan of Arc.  As the story goes, Miss Bone and her companion, widow lady approached the young lady wearing the obnoxious emblem, a  Miss Clark,  and while the latter seized and held her Miss Bone tore off the Butternut emblem.  It is a matter of minor importance, at the most, but as Miss Bone is quoted at such an extravagant figure in the price current for heroines, it is probably as well that the truth be told, which is substantially this:  Miss Bone, accompanied by a gallant youth name  Peak,  approached Miss Clark and asked to see the emblem, pretending that she had never seen one.  Miss Clark took it off and handed it to her, where Miss Bone handed it to the aforesaid young gallant, and the two moved off with the trophy.  We presume the aforesaid young Peak is the author of the falsehoods put afoot.
