Preiudtce.

LAGBUFAAGGs
No man on earth is SO much to
be pitied as the man Of preiudices.
He builds a wall Of mud around
himself by which he shuts ont the
sunlight, and shuts himself in,
away from all genial influences.
No man is so miserable as be. His
mind grows narrower every day
instead of expanding as it should,
like the flower that opens it's rosy
petals to the sun and dews of
heaven. Such a man IS like the
dog in the Manager he neither
grows fat himself, nor can believe
that anybody else is fourishing.
The man of prejudice is gem
orally ignorant. He is unable 10
see but one side of people or
things, and that is the dark side.
He is q man that reads little or
nothing, so that bis mind is not
informed or enlarged, but is COM
pressed into the infnitesimal COM
pass of self and the narrow sur
roundings. He measures all things
from his darkened sphere, and can
not get light enough to see that
others are outstripping him on
every hand, and that he will soon
be left alone to grope in the in-
creasing darkness.
The man of prejudice has never
travelled has not seen much of the
world i; if he had his preiudices
would have been knocked away or
worn off by attrition. As tits, they
have grown aud increased like the
barnacles on the sides of ship,
which hinder her progress more
and more. Such a man can see
nothing, believe nothing good o.
those against whom his prejudices
have arisen. He looks foT, and
hopes for their downfall or failure.
The man of prejudice is really a
criminal. He has passed judgment
beforehand, and stands ready to
cast dirt on his neighbours fair
name. He is not to be trusted.
He is not fit to be on a jury where
correct Judgment is called for; in
his hands law and justice must
suffer. Give him no place of trust,
pass him by en.the other side. He
is not safe as a member of society,
whose very foundations he would
destroy. His opinion is not worth
II straw, and the people soon find
him out. His influence is at zero,
because of his freedom in express
ing his distorted or false opinion
of others. He has habituated HIM
self to believe lies, and his daily
life is but a reflection of his in
ward bitterness and moral obliq-
nifty. OF course be can speak no
good of others, therefore his tongue
IS acquainted with SANDER.
God pity the man OF prejudice,
Tor it is hard for men to have any
sympathy for him. He needs a
complete reconstruction the mass
81 prejudice needs q power like
that which cast out the evil spirits
before it will yield its ground. We
know of no panacea or specific for
The cure of this malady, except |
moro intelligence and broader
views Of men and things combined |
With the practice of the golden
.ule. American Journal OF Edu-
cation.

A Soft Answer.

The husband was quick temper
ed and often inconsiderate. They
had been married not yet year
when one day in a fit of hasty
warth he said to his wife:
81 want 10 correction from you.
If you are not satisfied with my
conduct you can return to your
home when, e l took you, and find
happiness with your kind!"
"If | leave you," returned the
unhappy wife, will you give back
that which l brought to you?"
every dollar. Icovet not your
wealth. You shall have it all
back"
"Ahw she answered. ~ mean
not the wealth of gold I thought
not of the dress. l meant my
maiden heart. my first and only
lOve-my buOyant hopes and the
promised blessing Of my woman
hood. Can you give these back
to me?'
A moment of thought, of con
vulsion, and then, taking her to
his arms, he said:
mo, no, my wife; l cannot do
that, but | will do more; / will
cherish your blessing as my own,
and never again, God help me,
will | forget the pledge / gave at
the holy altar when you gave your
peace and happiness into my keep
ing"
How true it is that "a soft an
swer turneth away warth," and
how many, 0, how many, of the
bitter strifes ofdomestic life might
be avoided by remembering and
acting in accordance Herewith.
