The chief and common companion of
pride is ignorance. Our pride feeds
itself by dwelling upon the possession
of some ornament which we believe to
be extraordinarily brilliant. But did
we see the precious jewels which adorn
many others in like circumstances, we
should shun to wear ours, and should
meekly set ourselves to increase our
store of grace.

Speak Softly.

Speak softly, gently ever
Thete is no wiser part;
for harsh words pierce like steel
The yearning, loving heart,
As gems reflect in brightness
Every titting beam,
IL, words reflect in kindness
Loves sunny, love-lit CLEAN.
Speak softly, gently ever;
There is no better plan
tor angry words can never
Effect what kind ones can.
For, oh sof; word spoken
Nay move stubborn soul,
That still would prove defiant
Should words Of thunder roll.
Speak softly, gently ever.
Words breathing naught save love
And soon our blighted Eden
Will bloom as realms above,
For faith and fond affection
Ia trut-love knot cntsined,
With tirmer cords than tempered steel
Each happy heart eau bind.

interrupting a conversation. One be-

he has finished two sentences, some par
rot in fine clothes chimes in with her
senseless gable, breaking the thread of
discourse and compelling the narrator
to begin again or abandon the attempt
to instruct or entertain. This is the
grossest impoliteness but it is as COM

rance. Never interrupt conversation

Congress thirty-seven years. We might
