EXPRESSING An OPINION.

We all have our opinions, or we ought to
have them, but as regards the advisability of
expressing them on all occasions much might
be said. There are people, good people, too,
who pride themselves ON doing this but it
must be owned that they are not often popu-
lar. " Must we, then, conceal our true views,
dissmulate for the sake of popularity p asks
some one. BY no means, good friend, but re-
serve need not be untruthfulness. We are
not called upon to tell just what we think
when by SO doing we wonld only irrtate with
out aiding any one.
These outspoken folks are seldom aware of
the pain they inflict or the vexation they
cause. Long after they have forgotten their
own words they are ranking in the mind of
the recipient. II can't help. that" perhaps
they would add if you could make them see
this result. 81 must express my opinions
frankly, you know, and people ought not to
be offended at the truth" But when the
truth is as unnecessary as it is unpalatable,
what then? And then, too, it does not al
ways follow that ruth.tellng people relish
like planness of speech from their victims
On the contrary, they often resent What they
practice, with most illogical warmth.
To be always ready to give an opinion achen
1t is needed is a very different thing and, in
deed, there are cases wherein one cannot be too
positive or too plain. But genteness, consid-
alton and tact-above all, Christian charity
should shape our course for us always. Give
your opinion, by all means, when by so doing
you can help or strengthen or warn others,
but don't give it when the only effect will be
the annoyance of your nearer. Why should
you tell Jane that her big brother John is so
bashful that it makes him awkward, or that
her sister Mary has no taste? 1t can do no
good, and it only wounds poor Jane, who will
think of you thereafter as a very disagreeable
person. Christian Intelii9encer.

HOW IT LOOKS TO DANA OF THE

SO far recovered from the shock o. last

gressional election held in tine middle

Any one who doubts the. accuracy Of
this rule need only look over the polit
ieal record Of the past fifty years to find
that it has held true almost without
exception during that period. With
this fact H. mind, the " thoroughly
tanned editor of the Sgn proceeds to
ascertain which party won the race OF
last Tuesday. He iinds that il the
October and November elections this
