The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1893-12-31

where, only too ready to quote what you
said, - or II said, +" and never to tell what
provoked the saying or the circumstances
ender which the words were uttered. He
joys, does this little devil in breaking mp
a friendship; and the only way to extin-
guish him is to keep your belief in your
friend, refuse to listen to his innuendoes,
or, il they do have some effect on you, to
push him out into the bright sunshine, to
go to your friend, and ask: What do you
mean" If you can't do this, your friend
ship is of no worth. And yet, last year
it is possible that you and your friend
watched the clock together, each believ-
ing that the future held joyous compan-
lonship for both that would make the
worries of life much easier to bear. What
are you going to resolved Don't wait to
write it down; don't wait to
HEAR THE CLOCK TICK ONCE MORE,
but start at once and make it all right be-
tween your own familiar friend and your
self, so that you can welcome the coming
guest with tears of Joy.
1t seems as the clear sound Of the tick
ing keeps on that it can't be worth while
TO make good resolutions, and yet my
friend, l am sure that it is, only l think
we all try to do too much. If we can get
the better of one little demon, it is so
much easier to get rid of the others. With
DdO bSupCT hllleu db bD6 ufSb, CIVIL speak
ing will not be difficult to get rid of with
Cncharitableness made to disappear envy
will 20 as we'll and harsh judgments will
follow rapidly. They are great towards,
are these demons, and as soon as they see
that you have gotten the better of one,
they begin to grow frightened, and the
entire army shakes in it's marshal boots
and wonder what it is going to do next.
Make one good resolution You needn't
IN pyrita IL dntxyu on, ri
but you want to have it before you all the
time; you must never forget it. You need
to watch by day and by night, for nobody
is so industrious as bad spirit, and be
sure that this special one will be always
on the alert looking for the weakness in
the battlements through which he may
creep. You will probably, indeed, you
will certainly, fail; but pull yourself to-
gether and get up, and start afresh, and
you will be twice as strong for, having
been the victim of one temptation, you
are prepared for 1t.
What is the pet SIM Yours or mine?
Are we lacking in respect to those who
are older than we areY Do we think it is
not worth while TO pay any attention to
our elders, because they are no longer in
terested in life, as we know it, That is a
sin, and dreadful one.
REVERENCE TO OUR sUPERIoRs
in age is greatly lacking in this country,
and the result is that there are men and
women who suffer through their own
children, exactly as they have made their
parents suffer. For the law of compensa-
ton holds good even here, and you who
are disrespectful to your own mother,
must expect your daughter to be disre-
spectful 10 you; to forget you in your old
age, and to count you as of little moment
Is lack OF reverence your pet sin Is it
minel
Do we, you and 1, when something
doesn't please u.s. give rein to our ugly
passions, and say mean words-words
that hurt as cruelty as the sharpest dag
gerl Or, do we go of and sulk, and re-
fuse to speak, and act like damper over
an entire households Do we estrange
those who are around us by these exhibit
tions of wickedness, for that is what
they are2 Is ill-temper your pet SIM Is it
mine2
Do we, knowing the absolute truth, tell
half of 1t, and let the listeners think out
the other halfl Do we keep quiet when
we know the truth, while some one
repeats the falsehood2 Do we find a GER
tain sort of pleasure in the ill-natured
things that are said about those who are
nearest to usl Are we mean enough TO
be that sort of liar, for that's what it isl
You can't call it by any better name.
And it's the meanest kind of lying, sug-
gestive only of the little moths that eat
