LIFE's 1RRITABILITIEs.-W is the
use of it? Do not worry yourself to
death of what other people may say of
you, as long as you know that it is not
true. Take care of the truth; that is
your business. All falsehoods go to the
bosom of their father, the devil, and
their trainers soon follow. So much as
to falsehoods of you. As to falsehoods
to you, and as to every tale the most re-
motely prejudicial to another, treat it
and the narrator with the utmost indif-
ference, until you hear the story of the
other party; this only is just, and wise,
and kind.

Skinfiint, at three per cent. a month

slant borrowing and repaying. Itwould
be six years before his estates could be

event until Harry could reach the age
of "thirty," and Harry concluded it
