UNFRIENDLY COMMENT.
There Are Many Reasons why Peo-
PIE should Refrain from CrItI-
cIsinE Absent AcquaIntances.

In conversation, unfriendly COM
ments regarding the absent should
always be avoided. In social life it
is well TO shun ill-natured gossip
Make IL rule, and let il be strictly
observed, not TO say anything about
the faults of another unless there is
absolute necessity for you to do SO.
This necessity may arse, and your
own judgment can guide you about
the matter. IL is always rash to talk
Of the faults or evil doings of others.
Why, indeed, should you do so? You
know yourself that you have faults,
few or many, and that there are
many things you may have done
which you prefer should not be dis
cussed Well, then, exercise the same
charity TO others that you would
have extended TO yourself.
Another thing TO bear i'm mind is
that, if you talk of what is to the dis
advantage of another, what you say
will doubtless be repeated. OF course,
you may preface your remarks by:
This is quite between ourselves"
"Pray do not repeat it," etc. But why
should you imagine that the person
TO whom you are talking will be 81
lent about that which you promised
10 keep to yourself? She may forget
her promise, or may not consider it
very binding,
Then, too, when things are repeat
cd they never lose in the telling.
Something is taken from, or added
20, the original story, and If repeated
several times. it loses very often
most Of its original character. The
most terrible mischief is caused by
gos,ips Of this kind. Friends are sep
arated, relations are estranged. quar-
rels are fomented, and bad blood" is
aroused, simply because something
said, perhaps though;lessly, on the
impulse of the moment, is repeated.

saying that his wife wanted him.

"Oh, yessum, / gotter wife, but

The effect of Maria upon her liege
was most pronounced as time went
on. Nelson no longer firmly waved
away orders and conducted his de-
partment on the most despotic plan;
the cook began TO impose upon him
and the mistress of the mansion even
ventured to scold him. His polite
ness deepened and willingness to re-
main after hours, il only he had the
authority of the head of the family
for doing so, became one of his most
pronounced characteristics. In fact,
Nelson was now a jewel without a
flaw.
But all this was quite too good to
last, and one day the mistress of
the mansion was sadly surprised to
find Nelson once more setting aside
her orders with calm faith in his
own superior Judgment. why, Mel.
son, what is the matter?" she said.
81 distinctly told you that / wanted

Nelson made unabashed reply. 81

"And what did Maria say?" queried
the mistress of the mansion, hope
fully.
"She didn't say nothin', ma'am;
nothin' at all. That woman knows
she kahn play no noah tricks on me,

And after that not even the cook
