FEW persons are aware of the power
of silence. Unfortunately the major
ity of human individuals indulge in a
superfluity OF words. The "unruly
member" has been the cause of the
sorrows and quarrels. and the wars
that have afflicted and cursed human
ity. And yet with all its powers for
good or evil, it has not half the elo-
quence OF silence. There is the ST.
lcnce of contempt that withers with
magnetic scorn its unfortunate object
There is the silence of despair that is
eloquent of sorrow uuutterable. There
Is the silence of JOY when the countc-
nance, all aglow with beautify ing emo
ton, needs not the Interpretation of
speech. There is the silence of dis
appointment when the relaxed frame
the downcast eyes the mournful Wis
age, tells their tale without words.
There is the silence OF the deep Joy OF
love. of which arbitrary words fail to
give expression. and of which eye
beams and hand-clasps. and caresses
are tae true language.
