The farmers will SOW another large

There are some people who cannot
live without finding fault. No matter
what subject or person comes ui in
course OF conversation, they start some
frivolous objection or make some sen
sorOus remark. Instead of trying to
be i'll charity with their ncighbOrs they
take malicious pleasure in speaking
evil of them. They Obstinatcly slut
their eyes to good qualities, while they
employ microscopes to discover and
evil ones, and afterwards they
torture language to eXaggcrate what
they have seen, SO rs to ucprccintc as
much as possible. They do not, how
ever, always speak out boldly, bnt they
deal i'll inncndoes, hints and ominous
shakes of the head. Instead of frank
ly assailing i'll front, they ass;lssinatc
behind the back. They spend their
lives in dciiling human nature, like
the foul Ial0Os whom the sutarist has
depicted. TO believe them there are
none virtuous but themselves, all the
rest of mankind being knavcs. brutcs
or devils. The provcrbiul fault-iintler
little thinks that. in ccnsurinS so mali
ciouslyand indiscriminatcly he is only
painting his own portrait. 1t is Il Sc
gnnwinE rage ut the superiority of 9th
crs, which IS the real cause of his want
OF charity, the principle induccmcnt to
his abuse. His own heart is the mir
row from which he describes mankind.
The best men have been those, inva-
riahly, who spoke the most kindly Of
their race. The great type OF all man
hood. whose perfect humanity is the
even of Pagans and Athe-
lists, are those who always speak in be-
nignant terms, even Of ''publicans and

Dwe the great doctrine Of human
brotherhood. In the ideal of the fallen
Lucifer, we have, on the contrary, the

!llwi!l, and evil speaking. AS the one

and good will to men," so the other
irst defiled fair creation with strife
and sOwed war among the hosts of
Heaven. We never listen to tho bene-
icent language of one who is in chari-

perfect man."
SO long. till we come again.
