A great many fail at some important
crisis in the handling of words.
But the last test of all, and, to my
mind, the greatest. is in the use OF
words as a balm. Few people, be they
men or women, be they only friends,
lovers or married. can help occasionally
hurting each others feelings. Acct

when people are good-tempered. And
for quick or evil tempered ones there
is but n remedy-the handsome, hon

From the Youths Companion.
At the time of the French revolution political
offenders occasionally found that great au-

caution and concealment. Ono of the most in.

favor with the revolutionary Government was
Philippe Delleville. Whom the decree ordering
the arrest of the seventy.three Deputies. one OF
whom was DellevLlle. was read, that gentleman
sitting, but after that no troubled himself little
about the matter. He was well known to the
members Of the new Government, but he did
not try to avoid them. As the measures of the
revolutionary Government became more ana
more strict and energetic he yielded to his

of Paris.

happened, he tried to let them know.
