All You Think.

Even TO your most intimate friends
it Is not safe to say all you thinh eou-
Cerning them or their actions. You
are not co led upon 20 gloss over their
faults; but you need not expose their
follios. Brutality of speaking is too
often digni6ed with the title OF SINGER
ity. Some persons piquo themselves
upon saving nll they think. and arc
continually protesting TO do so. As a
proof Of this, they viii say things tho
most shocking % othors. aud give them
pain without the least remorse. Such
so-called sincerity is 10 be suspected.
The conduct which an honest heart in-
spires flows naturally from It; and
.hose who say rough things in order 20
convince others Of their sincerity give
some reason 10 doubt OF their being
perfectly convinced OF II themselves.
Their conduct is perniclOus - the peace
aud pleasure OF society. ADD may also
lead 90 very fata! consequGncgs. They
do what they can 70 frightcn avery ono
from what Is right. II sncerltr, then,
