certainly not sufficiently well TO trouble
TO make himself acquainted with the con
teuts of the epstles which came TO and
were sent of by Mr.. Beresford Had he
been better educated young man he
might have known aud felt the wisdom
OF certain very sensible remark which
comes 10 Us from the Italian: The word
that once escapes the tongue cannot be
recalled, the arrow cannot be detained
which has once sped from the bow" but
alas Private Edward Leader was blessed
with no wisdom of that kind. and only
acquired it after the fashion Of most
laundering fools by the aid OF the expen
slve school of sad and bitter experience.
Now that the mischief was done and
the effect Of his babbling tongue had
passed beyond his control, Le saw but too
plainly the extraordinary value of silence;
but it was too iate-the mischief was
done-the word had escaped his tongue
the arrow had sped from the bow, and its
progress could not be stopped by him who
had let 1t fy-no. not even though Il
should lodge In the very heart of the one
who In Ill the wide world least deserved Il.

You'd better not touch ANYTHING until
