Sincerity.

In the long run, sincerity pays; and this,
in all the relations Of lifc social, political
and commercial. Outspoken, fat footed
people very often offend refined taste in
their lack of policy-their persistent way
Of stating unpalatablc truths upon inopor,
tune occasions but, after all, there is
real comfort in knowing that you have
heard the worst of it, and that there is
nothing covered up. The man who i'm
pctuousIy run his hand iuto wooi-chuck
hole and got bit for his rashacss, uttered
the elements Of a great principle when he
drew his bleeding hand out and exclaimed
"lma awful glad the critter bit me, for now
| know that hois there!' Very few pco-
pie like to be Bit, even by q wood-chuck,
but ifthe knowledge which comes through
such suffering is worth the price paid for
it, nobody eau honestly say the being is
calamity.
The fact is, We all like to "kaow he is
,here;' and we feel very uneasy and dis
satisfied until We do know. Only have it
distinctly understood that person says
Just what ho thinks, and all questions Of
taste and policy will disappear as vnpor be-
fore tue great sunlight of Sincerity.
