QUARRELS.

One Of the most easy, and most com.
mon, most perfectly foolish things in
the world. is to quarrel, no matter with
whom, man woman or child, upon what
pre,ence, Proyocation. or occasion
whatever. There is no kind Of neces.
sity in il, no manner Of use in it, and nc
species or degrees Of benefit to be gain
ed by il; and yet strange as the fact may
be. ,heologians quarrel, and politicians,
lawyers, doctors, and princes quarrel,
the church quarrels, nations and tribes,
and corporations, men, women and
children, dogs and oats, birds and beasts
quarrel abou, all manner OF things, and
on all manner Of occasions. II there
is anything in the world that makes a
man feel bad. except pincbing his fin
gers in the crack Of the door, it 3 un.
questionably quarrel. No man ever
fails TO think less OF himself after than
he did before one; it degrades him in
his own eyes, and in the eyes oi others,
and what is worse, blunts his scnslblity
to disgrace on one hanl, and increases
the power OF passionate irfitabiiity on
the other. The truth is, the more quiet.
ly and peacably we all get on. the bet
ter; the better for ourselves the better
for our neighbors. In nine cases out
often, the wisest course is, il a man
cheats you. TO quit dealing with him; il
he is abusive, quit his company; if h.
ISLANDERS you take care 10 live so that
no one will believe him. No matter
who he is. or how he misuses you, the
wisest way is just to lei him alone; for
there is nothing better than this cool.
calm quiet way Of dealing with the
wrongs we meet with.
