THE VIRTUE OF SILENCE


Don't talk too much. You vp,,
given two ears and only one toDcuo
mat you might hear twice as uyucb 4,
you speak, says the PHILOSOPHER o, M
Boston Transcript, who always knovs
what he is talking about peoule viii
IKE you all the more, the less vu
hayc to say, and the more you listen,
or seem to listen, to what thev say,
IL you rarely part your lips in comma.
ny, company may suspect you Of he.
ing a dullard. This may cause them
TO pity you, and pity, it is said, il
akin to love. Company will certainly
be more inclined to love you for keen.
ing your mouth shut than for ALWAYS
having 1t open. Many a one has a.
CURED a reputation Tor superior wis|
dom simply by fattcrjng another,|
prlde OF speech by permitting bin 10
talk on without interruption. Mauy
a one, indeed, has left with the mon. |
ologist the impression that he Is al
bright conversational, whereas lad
he attempted to DO his share Of The
talking he might have been declared
a bore. Don't talk too much. II you
talk much, you are likely to say things |
which though you may forget them IS
soon as they are spoken, will be re-
membered against you, II another
loses his temper, as the saying Is |
when ones temper is very much 10 |
evidence, don't lose yours. At least,
don't back. Silence is your most et
fective weapon. 1t will tear bis very
yitals, whereas If you rave and spul'
ter, il will only show that his words
have struck home, and so give him

BE cautious about that which is every

OF things you may say about yourself
and think that they will never %
heard from again. But they area'
most certain to be repeated, ana III
such a manner as to make you appear
ridiculous or d%espicable. Don't aS
too much. Let Others do the talking
and be happy. Let Others exhibit Ilel'
weak minds. Let others uncover lnt'
shady past and their not Over'org'
present. But you-don't talS wv
