There is a city ordinance imposing a

Personalities and Ill Reports.

Keep clear of personalities in general
conversation. Talk of things, objects,
thoughts. The smallest minds occupy
themselves with personalities. Personal
tiles must sometimes be talked because
we have to learn and find out men 8
characteristics for legitimate objects but
1T Is to be with confidential persons. Do
not heedlessly report i'll of others. There
are times when we are compelled to say,
" do not think Bouncer true and hon
est man." But where there is no need
to express an opinion, let poor Bouncer
swagger away. Others will take his
measure, no doubt, and save you the
trouble of Analysing him and instructing
them. And as far as possible dwell on
the good side of human beings. There
are family boards where constant pro-
cess of depreciating, assigning motives,
and cutting up character goes forward.
They are not pleasant places. One who
Is healthy does not wish to dine at dis
secting table. There is evil enough in
man, God knows But it is not the mis-
sion of every young man and woman to
detail and report it all. Keep the at
mosphere as pure as possible and fra
grant with gentleness and charity. DR.
John Hall.
