once a vast swamp, noisOmc, Shiny and

being haunted, and when William Crab.

Before you place on your neighbor,
The stigma of his disgrace,
Just try to balance your judgment,
By putting yourself in his place
Look well at bis Surroundings,
At his pleasures and his cares;
Don't curse the man with your curses,
When he eau be saved by your prayer
Look at bis strength--his weakness
Test the surgiug Of lis blood;
Does It flow like a gentle sircamlct,
Or Rush like turbulent Aooda

his mind, in ne crooked channel,
That led to the bitter end.
II may be in single hour,
Some powerful impulse cane,

That he is now bearing the shamel
Then, look with tendCrest mercy,
On the eriug Of our rtcel
And ere you pass judgment upon him,
Just put yourself in his place"

but they work and lhiuk,"' Now the
truth is fe@PcoPle are trained, or train
themselves to clear aud connected thought,
and, consequently, much Of what they call
thought is Of no value Ones mind

thought as this is ofno service to any per.

improve the mind.
Now, every ones work, or life, is more
or less connected with vegetation, animals

these are all facts OF Gods making, and the
