a story is told Of woman who
freely used her tongue to the scandal
Of others, aud made confession to the
priest Of what she had done, lie gave
her a ripe thistle top, and told her to
60 out in various directions and scat,
ter the seeds, one by one. Wonder
ing at the pcnancc, she obeycd, and
then returned and told her confessor.
To her amazcment, he baae her 60
back and gather the scattered seed
and when she objected, that it would
be impossible, he replied that it would
be still moro impossible TO gather up
and destroy all evil report which she
had circulated about Others. Any
thoughtlcss, careless child can scatter
a handful OF thistle seeds before the
wind in a moment; but the strongest
and wisest man cannot gather them
again
