BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking of persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember, those with houses of glass
Should seldom throw stone.
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
IT'S better we commence at home,
And from this point begin.
We have no right to judge a man,
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know this world is wide
Some have their faults-and who has
not?
The old as we'll as young;
Perhaps we NAV. for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you of a better plan,
And find it works full well,
To try my own defects to cure,
Before of others tell;
And though | sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know
NV own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think Of the harm one word may do
To those who little know
Remember curses, sometimes like
Our chickens 'roost at home;
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none Of our own
