DEAL GENTLY wIrH THE ERRIEo
BY ANHrR AaHw-uyu

Gould we bat for moment draw ss;Se
the veil from the human heart, what sw-
ful mysteries would be revealed. Gould
we bat read the secrets indeiibly en-
craven there, how very much that we
have looked upon with indignation and
contempt, would we be led TO look upen
with pity and with kindness! Many.
very many may have fallen; yes, from
the very pinnacle of fame and honor, to
the unparalleled depths Of Woe and
wretchsdness; did We but know the many
temptations which have crowded them.
selves upon their path; did We but know
the fattering Inducements held to their
view by loved and professed loving oncs.
thoughtless Of the fearful consequence
which might ensue, and, above all, did
we but realize the unutterable anguish.
which ofttimes takes possession of thet
sensitive soul, conscience and duty would
demand our pity and sympathy; and N.
stead of awakiug painful recollections, d
all in our psuer to mitigate their woes.
This would we be led to avoid in look,
thought, or deed, everything that would
give offence or cause . thrill Of pain. We
are surrounded BY sensitive hearts, which
one careless word might fll with cor.
roding griet.
A kind word is indeed q small thing:
yet to the bleeding heart what o relief,
1t buoys the sinking heart, and nerves il
against despair. Sunny smiles may ot-
times conceal heart that is even now
breaking, and wears but the semblancs
of joy, the more efrectually to conceal its
wretchednsss. A kind word may dispcl
the gloom and heal the wounded spirit.
Mark that sad aad lonely one, in whose
eye the tear drops often tremble. Listen
to the low sigh that struggles to hide ths
soul g emotion, yet speaks more plainly
than words can tell, Of the agony that
RACES within.
There is indeed bitterness there; the
world may not heed it-may even look
with scornful gaze, or pass BY in utter
coldness. Is it not then our duty to act
as angels of mercy to that benighted, de-.
spending heart ito soothe its despond-
ency, and point to . brighter hope.
There is music IN kindly word that can
soften the hardest heart and when onoe
the better feelings are reused there Is
hope.
A harsh or unfseling word may fall Ike
withering curse, and urge ON TO ruin
or despair thousands who otherwise
might be reclaimed. Therefore, is il our
duty to be kind to all, to the lowest and
meanest of Gods creatures. 1t will cost
US nothing, and may be the messenger of
peace, comfort, and happiness to the de-
spending, despairing one. Words of
love and tenderness are sweeter, dearer.
and of far more value than aught else
this cold, selfish world can yield to
miserable, fallen man.
