Description

Excerpt from Alexandre Vattemare<br/><br/>Before passing from the subject I think it right to mention Â though surely not to press Â a suggestion which has been made as having had something to do with the obscuration which has befallen Mr. Vattemare's good name. The parable tells us that the men who were called earliest into the vineyard begrudged an equal payment to those whose work began at the eleventh hour. The complaint is characteristic of human nature; and a yet darker termination of the story would not discredit it as a picture of what might be in the heart of man. How if some laborer called into the vineyard in the cool of the evening, in order to magnify the importance of his own ser vice, had been tempted to deny even an equal recompense to the toiler who had borne the burden and the heat of the day Some suggestion equivalent to this has, in other years, been made by the friends of Mr. Vattemare, who were puzzled to account for the scant justice which has been done him. But such an explanation is unnecessary, and, in view of our in ability to unravel the complexity of human motives, should not be hastily adopted.
