Sins of the Tongue

The sins Of the tongue all point to
the necessity and profit Of self mastery.
There is danger in the tongue that
often brings the deepest sorrow to in
nocent ones, as well as throws q re-
Election on a pure character. If this
confession of failure and magnifying
of the Office of the tongue seem eXag-
gerated, let any one sit down quietly
and think of the sins and cruelties OF
human speech. The careless words
which no repentance can call back
again, the rash promises which it has
cost US so much to fulfill, the express
sion of the lower nature which has
shamed the higher, the confessions Of
evil and yielding to falsehood, the hot
and angry words which sober thought
condemn-these are some Of the perils
Of the tongue. On the other hand, like
most Of the uses of the world which
turn so easily to evil, the tongue may
be the instrument Of great and lasting
good.

A Rejected Novel.

Before he had achieved fame the
French novelist Xavier de Montepin,
on concluding a long and elaborate
tale of adventure took it, full Of hope,
to a publisher, who promptly declined
it on even the most advantageous
terms, to the writer's poignant morti-
fication. Twenty years afterward this
identical publisher besought at his
hands a sensational story, n of those
serials which were the delight of girl
settles, offering any price within rea-
son. "Well," said De Montepin, 81
will oblige you, but my terms must be
somewhat heavy. I want $4,000" Aft
er many protests it was paid.
In telling the, story De Montepin
used to add, "The best of the business
was that it was the very same story
which he had previously rejected and
which 1 had in various directions en-
deavored in vain to dispose Of"
