The Hartford herald., 1880-05-05

Treat every person with kind civilify,
whose conduct win permit you to do -,
but we cannot make this . general rule.
for some persons have to b keps at .
rspectable distance By the revere Of
this course.
Be charitable to all, not only In b.
slowing benefits, bot In foryiving and
overlooking their faults and ioib1sa, but
we should have discretion In our chasi-
~, for by bestowing charity upon un-
worthy objects. we not only eneoufags
vice and idleness bot al56rd the
niggArdly aud penurious . prstezt
not to bestow ON even worthy oo3ecto.
Let noconsiderAtion upon earth induce
you to treat worthy poverty with slight
OF comtempt, or exalted Woe and base-
ness with Awning fAttery.
speak your mind freely, II prudent 10
speak. but II not prudent to speak your
sentiments, keep silence.
Form your own opinions from ths
convictions Of your own Judgment, but
ever be ready to bear the opinions Of
others and to yield up your own n you
think them erroneous.
II h better to yield something 70 an
individual than to have contest about
tribes, but with q certain claa, you had
~ well contend for the halter - the
horse, for II you were to yield the bal
ter, the horse would next be claimed.
In our intercourse with the world II b
best to have none with . person whom
We find devoid Of principle. or should
We have dealings with him 1t all
leave nothing to implication or con-
struction, have everything 20 plainly
understood that no possible misunder-
standing can arise.
But above all, in ell our intercourse
let n sense of justice, honor and beney-
olence be our guide, and although DIM
eulties may follow, snares and dangers
beset Us, Islander and detrnction assAil,
and even poverty and ruin crush rs;
yet viii we have an abiding peace
within our own bosoms, which the
world cannot give or the world destroy
and though houseless and homeless, We
can point, like Anaxagoras,to to the Heav-
ems, for u home.
He who faithfully discharges his duty
to himself and society will seldom be
wanting i'm bis duties to his country
Yet there are some prominent. duties,
which We owe to our country not Inn
mediately connected with the former
class of duties, and which indeed are
sometimes supposed to conflict with
them; such for instance as the duty We
owe to the government In niding IN y
faithful execution Of the law, se3scting
fit persons for our rulers and lAw-givers,
and in discharging any duties which
may be thrown upon N, although those
dulies may interfere with our own per-
sonai interests OF ease. Livery gooo cit.
