Allow me to correct what seems to be a glaring error into which " Down South " appears to have fallen in his statement of the case of "One in Despair." The latter did not give any intelligent reader reason to infer that education was of comparatively little benefit to a gardener; on the contrary, he pronounced it to be invaluable, as "Down South " could readily perceive, if with an unprejudiced mind he were to carefully read over again the paper by "One in Despair." Opportunities were certainly given to him to rise, though he failed to use them; but it was simply an individual case, and not one of general application. In the case of "One in Despair " education appeared to be of little value; but there are many others having the power to rise, but wanting the opportunity, and such a position affords but a defective view of their real abilities.
