who never dreamed Of giving offvuse, are
astonshed 10 find some unfortunate word,
or some momentsry tacturnity, mistaken
for an insult. To say the least, the habit
is unfortunate. IL is far wiser 10 take the
more charitable view OF our fellow beings
and not suppose a slight is intended, uu-
less the neglect is open aud direct. After
all, too, life takes its hue, IN n great de-
gree, from the color Of our own mind II
we are frank aud generous, the world
treats us kindly. Ii, on the contrary,
we are suspicious, men learn to be cold
aud cautious TO us. Let person get the
reputation Of being touchy, aud every.
body Is under more or less restraint; aud
in this way the chances Of an imaginary
offeuse are vastly increased. People who
FIRE up easily MISS deal Of happiness.
Their jaundiced tempers destroy their
own comfort. Us well as that Of their
friends. They have forever some fancied d
slight to brood over. The sunny, serene
couienlment Of less selfish dispositions
