The Mote and the Beam.

We notice in an exchange a short an.
ecdote with a point to it. A lady, on
one occasion, upon examining q room
which had not long before been put in
order, complained to the servant thai
it was dusty. The latter said, respect
fully, "The dust is on your glasses
and sure enough, when they had beer
removed and carefully wiped, the room
put on quite another aspect How very
wide is the application that can be
made of such an anecdote, and yet it il
really only an extract from the Sermon
on the Mount. We see it in our Lords
words respecting the mote and the
beam. Objects change according te
the media through which they are ex'
amined, Just as the chemeleon-an6
there are many like them-takes its hut
from the tree it happens to be On. Thu

the e1hortation to be slow to speak ani
slow to wrath. Burns taught the same
lesson when he said:

Regret.


All, how sad and vain a thing is re-
eret. When too late some past wrong
doing will burden the memory, and the
bitter truth We tried to veil, even from
our own hearts, is revealed in all its
u~ndisguise. Who has not to repent
some slight, thoughtless omission of
duty or kindness toward those whom
trey love? What even are regrets com.
pared with the anguish of feeling of
having parted from a friend-perhaps
from our best beloved-with unkind and
cruel words?' 1t may have been those
words were uttered c~arelessly, lightly,
as the light and wanton breeze sweeps
by, but they leave some scattered rose
leaves to mark it's tract. Or it may
have been they were purposely spoken,
prompted by pride and passion and
imagined wrong. Such has been an
episode in many a life The cause we
know not, any more than that of the
little fragment from which I quote,
whose actors and whose story are
alike unknown. But what a fitting
place and time was that for such a part
ing?

While the dark wlack drives overhead.
