BE thou chaste as ice, pure as snow,
Yet shalt thou not 'scape calumny-"
No writer ever exhibited better knowl-
edge of the most intricate windings of the
human heart than did Shakespeare, and nev-
er did any aphorism uttered by him. embo-
dy greater truisIn than the one which is
pref1ed to this paragraph. However guard
ed our conduct may be-however pure our
conversation however quiet and prudent
our manner-the prying eye of envy will
yet find some little ereyice into which it
may peep to spy out our defects No. un-
frequently too, do We imbibe prejudices
against persons we have never seen, from
come sighting remark dropped in our pres
ence respecting them. How much. it has
been observed by writer. may be convey
ed In a tone of voice. or a shrug of the
shoulder, and yet not one word be said that
can really be termed slanderous We of
ten meet in society. persons who seem to
enjoy pretty malicious pleasure in seeking
for and relating anything they may gather,
that will prove injurious in its tendency to
the character Of their acquaiutances-
Cotton tells US that the Greeks displayed
their appreciation of the word slanderer BY
making it the Synonym Of devil, ard truly
they were not at fault What can be more
demoniacal than traducing those whose un-
stained reputation is to them more than un-
told gold.
There are none who have not, at some
time during their fife. felt the baleful ef:
fects of the slanderOus tongue-who have
not writhed in secret under the lash of NAL
lee. Then why not. when we feel disposed
to make an uncharitable remark. reflect for
one moment upon the torture we have our
selves endured, and bride that unruly
member''-the tongue How can We in
fict upon another that anguish we have cur
selves suffered, which we know from expe-
rience is more Tartarean than the punish
ment inflicted upon Prometheus
We are ;old In sacred writ that charity
covereth a multitude of faults;;'' and the
charity meant is not almsgiving, but charity
of thought towards our brothers fittings
What though our neighbor has bis little pee
cadilloes. will severe remarks correct themo
Not at all-far more apt to continue them
When We feel disposed to criticise upon 9TH
ers, should we not first examine if we are
not guilty of far more serious offences
May We not have "beam in our own eve"
at the very time we discover a mote in cur
brothers?
