THE TWO WORDS.

TaE L VIZ WINDS.
One day a harsh word. rashly said,
Upon an evil journey sped.
And, like a sharp and cruel dart,
IL pierced fond and loving heart;
It turned friend into foe,
And everywhere brought pain and woe.
A kind word followed 1t one day,
Flew swiftly on its blessed way:
1t healed the wound, it soothed the pain,
And friends of old were friends again.
1t made the hate and anger cease,
And everywhere brought joy and peace.
But yet the harsh word left q trace
The kind word could not quite efface;
And, though the heart its love regaincd.
1t bore a scar that long remained;
Friends could forgive but not forget,
Or lose the sense of keen regret.
Oh, if we would but learn to know
How swift and sure our words can go,
How would we weigh with utmost caro-
Each thought before it sought tho air,
And only speak the words that move
Like white-winged messengers of loyel

English and American Society.

From the Nelc York Times
Perhaps the greatest contrast in English
society as compared with American IS that
in the former woman's Importance grows
with years, whereas in the latter it declines.
At large English country house some
difficulty arose as to making room for all
the guests expected to dinner. "Why, let
those girls Indicating two pretty young
ladies' take their dinner at luncheon time,
said an old peeress, "and come down to the
drawing-room in the evening. We don't
want you girls at dinner; we want good
takers. This old lady was famous Lon
don dinner-giyer, and loved "a feast Of
reason and flow of soul" Lord Salisbury,
who stands at the head of the great society
leaders in London to-day, is 81; Lady Derby
is about the same age, and many others

Silence.

Silence is golden" but "a word iitly
spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of
silver" How to use silence that it may
always be golden, and speech that it like
wise may always be golden, is knowledge
given to but few The loudest speech is
often silence. The deepest sympathy is
often silence. The severest reproof, some
times, is utter silence. The most total ac
qulescencc is often expressed by silence.
Silence is often the best refutation Of cal
umny. All the greatest agencies of the
universe are silent. Heat, light, electricity,
gravitation, sleep, death, all are silent.
The mental processes are best carried on in
silence. Thoughts silent, volition is silent.
As peacemaker and war preventer
silence Is most potent. There are times
when peace is ignoble, there are times when
war is noble, and then meet words should
be spoken-to close dishonorabIe peace,
to inaugurate noble war Silence is gol-
den only so long as it cannot be broken by
words ''6tly spoken"
In the family silence is a great peace
maker; not a dogged, sullen silence, but
kindly, judicious silence. In ceatain moods
of mind and body one may be wrought to
frenzy by words and suggestions that in
other moods would have no such effect.
When one is hungry, or tired, or sleepy,
or sick, he cannot take the same views that
he does when fulfilled, fresh and vigorous
in health. If he can make due allowance
for this inevitable state of things in him
self and in those around him, and restrain
his words, govern his tones, control his
manners, he may avert deal of trouble.
An impulsive word is sometimes a spark to
powder, We are careful to keep flame
from powder made of saltpetre and sulphur,
and should we not be equally careful to
prevent social and domestic explosions ?
Some people are so constituted that in GER
tain moods they will say disagreeable
things, simply because they feel likei it. If
the combustible stuff about them is wet
with the cool waters of silence it will not
take fire, and great damage may be pre-
vented, 1t is mere cruelty to take advant-
age Of a fretfHl child and tease and aggra-
vate and torment him, ''for the fun of it..
Yet this species of amusement (?) is tole-
rated in some families Fretfulness and
irritability arise from some form of mental
or bodily disease, and should be treated ac-
cOrdingly.
The facts in ones life cannot be changed
by mere words, and hence the best answer
tounjust accusation of many sorts is silence
As an old man once said l. cit isn't what
people say of you that hurts; it's what they
say, and have it true" When one knows
that he is honorable and just and right in
his dealings, wrong imputations can be
borne with patience, and he can wait for
his vindication, which time will surely

to deemsshemselves shelved. 1t is a great
pity. A woman of so has knowledge and

clever young fellows that their pleasantest

The blame is not always with tnS~ COZ
counter forces are also at work to prodS.s
the same result. The wife, while attending
faithfully to all household duties, may have
helped to make her husband silent man
by unnecessary discussion of his own affairs
and such ''small talk" as wearied him, and
which he sought to avoid by becoming alb
sorhed in other things, Whatever the
cause that leads to such drifting apart in
the home lives of really faithful couples,
the beginnings of it should be noted and
the remedy applied betimes, that as the
years roll on husband and wife may grow
together and become as one flesh.

How many words are best left unsaid
Why should we drop eaustic remarks that
can only burn and rankle and corrode in the
hearts they touch ? Why should we meet
petulance with harshness? "a soft answer
turneth away wrath, but grievous words
stir up strife" When wrong is to be
righted, when fault must be corrected,
when an unwelcome truth must be spoken,
the spirit in which it is done may be such
as not justly to provoke resentment or any
hateful passion. The skillful surgeons
knife is kindly, though it divides the flesh
and sewers arteries and nerves "Faithful
are the wounds of friend" But surgical
operations are rarely needed. Gentler
methods of prevention, of cure by absorp-
ton, of medication by ''high dilution" are
wonderfully eficacious. In domestic and
social practice "high dilution" applied to
sharp words, reproof, objurgation, condem-
nation, we heartily believe in, and some
times to remedy at all, not even sugar pills,
is most efficacious. Silence is great healer
of many maladies.
