In a certain town on the Penobscot
river, lived two worthy men, neighbors
aud friends; but they never could
agree on political questions. In dis
pnte one day, one of the dispu. .auts
lost his temper aud called the other
liar, fool, "knave,u and so on,
THIS was his weakness. He easily lost
self control then was very abusive; !;
and then repented. On tile occasion
referred TO he was so chagrined nc tire
exhibition he had made of passion that
lie soon called upon his neighbor peni-
tent aud pnrp0sing an apology We
give. I'm substance, the apology:
II ann ashamed OF myself for being
so abusive In my talk to you. TO
think I should call neighbor and
friend liar, fooi and knave. am sorry
and | have come To apologize. Forgive
me. know not why II Is, that, I'm my
talk with you, / lose temper. But the
fact Is, you always talk 80 much like q
--jackHsr. | cant help IL ~
Many good ulen have weak nesses Of
character or manner which seem abso-
iuteiy incurable. We heard OF GER
tain brother who constantly made him
self q thorn I'm the flesh Of his fellow
church members by his habit OF using
slang talk and coarse cOlloquialisms I'm
Ills prayers. In vain the church re-
peatediy expressed their disapprovaI Of
his uncouth phrases. So far from be-
ing sllenced the offending brother was
only grieved ami aIienated. At last q
committee Of the dencons went to have
q final talk with him. aud SO jndicious-
ly was the interview conducted, that a
happy issue seemed certain. Prayer
closed the visit, and the disciplined and
penitent memi,er led the dev0tioEs,
when almost the frst sentence came
out: "Oh Lord bsseech thee, help
me and these dear brethren TO hitch
hosses together !''-- Watchman and Re-
