SELECTED SCRAPS.
KEEP A SECRET.

Any thing revealed in confidence should be
kept secret There is no greater breach of good
manners and Christian faith, than to reveal
that which has been placed in the secrecy Of
your own bosom. What if the friend who
once trusted in you. and told you the secrets
of his heart, has become your enemy2 You
ale still bound TO keep your word inviolate,
and preserve locked in your heart the secrets
confdentially made knownto you.
A man of principle will never betray even
an enemy. He holdsi Christian duty never
TO reveal what in good faith was placed in his
keeping. ,s
While the Albanians were at war with Phi
lip, King of Macedon, they intercepted letter
that the King had written to his wife, Olym-
pia. II was returned unopened, that it might
not be read in public--their laws forbdding
them to reveal secret.
Among the Egyptians, il was criminal Of
lence TO divulge a secret. A priest, who had
been found guilty Of this offence, was ordered
10 leave the country.
Have you had secret reposed in yenr bo-
som Reveal il not for The world. A confid-
ing friend may tell you hundred things,
which, il whispered abroad, would bring him
into contempt and ridicule, and injure his cha
racter through life.
No one is so upright that he may not have
committed some impure offence. which may
have been secretly con6ded to another. The
fault may have been perpetrated years ago.
before the individuals character was formed.
Would it not be PROCLAMATION OF the most sa1
