The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-05-20
Nairhbora, QuarreIu.

Most people thinks there are cares
enough lie the world, and Vet many
arc very industrious TO increase
them. One Of the rsadicst ways Of
doing this Is 10 quarrel with neigh
bor. A bad bargain may ycx a man
for week, and bad debt may trou6-
10 him for q MONTH but a quarrel
with his neighbors will keep him in
hot water all the year round.
Aaron Hands delights in fowls,
and his cocks aud hens are always
scratching MP tho flowers Of his
neighbor, William Wilkes, whose
mischicvous cat every now and then
runs of with chicken. The conso
aueneo is, that William Wilkes IL
one half the day occupied in driving
nway tho fowls and threatening 10
screw their long, ugly necks Oft
while Aaron Hands. iu his periodical
outbreaks, invariably VOWS to skin
his ncighhor's cat, az sure as he eau
lay hold Of him.
NeighborsI neighhors why can
you not be at peace Not all the
fowls you can rear, and the flowers
you can grow, will make amends for
life ofungcr, hatred, malice, or un.
charitableness. Come to somo kind
hearted understanding one with an
other, and dwell in peace.
Upton, tho reRncr has o smoky
chimney, that sets him and all his
neighborhood by the ears The pso o.
pie around abuse him without mercy,
complaining that they nro poisoned,
and declaring that they will indict
htm at the sessions. Upton hersely
sets them at defiance, on the ground
that his premises were built before
theirs that his chimney did hot
come to them, but they came to his
chimney.
Ncighbors noighbors practice a
little moro forbearance. Had half q
dozen Of you waited on the re0nes, in
kindly spirit, ho would, years sgo
have so altered his chimney that il
would not have annoyed you,
Mrs. Tibbots is ihoughtlea If il
were not so, she would never have
had hor largo carrot beaten when her
neighbor, who had wash, was hav-
ing her wet clothes hung out 10 dry
Mrs. Willioms is hasty and passion
ate, or she never would have taken il
fer granted that the cappet was beat.
Gu on purpose to spite her and give
her trouble. As it is, Mrs. Tibbety
and Mrs. Williams hate one another
with a perfect hatred,
Neighbors neighbors bear Will
one another. We are mono of us an
gels, and should not, therefore ex.
poet those about US to bc free oi
faults.
They who attempt to outwrangle {
quarrclsomo noighbor, go the wrong
way to work--a kind word, aud still
moro a kind deed, will bo moro likely
to succeed, Two children wanted I,
pass by savage dog tho ohe took :
stick in his hand and pointed it a
him but this only made the enragct
animal more furious than before, Th'
other child adopted n different plan
for, by giving the dog piece oi
bread aud butter. he was allowed tC
pass, the subduod animal wogging hi
tail in quiotudo. If you happen I,
have a quarrolsome ncighbor, conquc
him by civility and kindness try tn,
bread and butter system, and keel
your stick out of sight. This is a,
excellent Christian admonitiou, ~
soft answer turneth away wrath, bu
grievous words stir up anger" Prov
1871
Noighbors ! ncighbors live in Low,
