An exchange gives the following advice,
and it is about right: Don't cherish hate.
1t is not worth while to hate. Your life is

What ii that mai or woman has played
you false? What If this friend has for
raken you in time OF need and treats you
as a stranger? Let it all pass. What diff
ference will il make to you in a few years
when you 60 hence to the undiscovered
country" All who i'll treat you now will
be more sorry for it then, than you even
in your deepest disappointment and grief
can be. A few more smiles, a few more
tears, some pleasure, much pain, a little
longer hurrying and worrying through the
world, some hasty greetings and an abrupt
farewell, aud our play will be played
out" and the injuries will be laid away and
ere long forgotten. 1t is not worth while
to hate each other"

consisnees, hence the bond matter is an
error of mine. The American Express Co.
