DO NoT- CRlrIcqsE.- E.--Whatcvcr you

YOU don't like any ones cllin, don't
put your feelings into words. If any

member your own. People are not
made to suit one taste; recollect

Take things as you find them, I'M
less YOU can alter them. Even din,

any better. Continual taHlt-iinding,
continual criticism OF the conduct ot
this one, the dress of the other, and
the opinions of another, will make
home the unhappiest place under tht
