Ifa man should think twice before
he speaks, how long should he think
before lie writes? The Nashville
Christian Advocate very well says:
"High-tempered people ought to
be very careful what they write.
Even spoken word may be produce
tive OF great mischief. Still it dies
away upon the air, and is likely to
be forgotten. The written sentence
survives; and comes to have an uglier
look as the circumstances connected
with its original utterance are forgot

minutes trying to find out the number
of threads per inch in the stud-hole in
