There is such disposition to find fault,
and expect perfectness nowadays; why
even church people expect their minister to
be faultless; and perfect in the pulpit as we'll

their own standard of perfection, and no al
lowance is made, because of age or feeble
ness, when just little thought would con-
vince them that we all have faults. | have

and | have never seen a perfect horse or q
perfect man, and | never expect to until two

eye can see it. Every head has soft place
| in it and every heart has its black drop
Every rose has its pricke and every day its
night, even the sun shows spots, and the
skies are darkened with clouds. The best
vine has its lees. All peoples faults are
not written on their foreheads. and it's quite
as we'll they are not, or hats for both sex
would need wide brims; yet as sure as eggs
are eggs, faults Of some sort nestle in ever
ones bosom. There's no telling when ones
faults may show themselves, for hares pop
out of ditch just when you are not looking
for them. A horse that is weak in the
legs may not stumble for a mile or two, but
it is in him and the rider had better hold a
tight rein. The ta5by-cat is not tapping
