There Is advantage to any man who
has the opportunity of doing you a

you in receiving that favor as if you
were comforting the advantage. Graft

neighbor. A proper appreciation Of
Kindness not only develops and perpet.
yates kindness, but it is necessary and
indispensable in making man OF fyou,

base than to cruelty treat animals, who
cannot answer, who cannot resent,
who cannot avenge themselves, who

more base than the cruelty which we
sometimes see shown to dogs and

"You need not fret" tho crow replied;
'T'd never marry thee. 49,

And not hopping bullfrog bold
With. greenbaeks on his back"
