How to Treat Suspicious.

There are two ways to dispose of a sus-
plcion, and one of these should always be
accepted. 1t may either be sifted to the
bottom, and its truth or error be estab-
tlshed once for all, or it may be aban-
doned as unworthy of a place in the
thoughts. Which of these two methods
10 adopt must depend upon many circum-
stances, If there are grave interests to
justice involved, as in the case of sup
posed dishonesty, if the fault we fear is
one with which we have personal concern,
and If the suspicion appears to be well
founded, then undoubtedly it is our duty
70 examine it.-Once a Week.
