Returning Borrowed
Articles Is a Virtue.

One Of the most valuable and certain
~ rareSt among virtues is the habit of
returning books, etc., which one borrows.
Inc average person repays money at
me earliest possible opportunity and, sad
10 relate. seems to think that the moral
obligation to return ends there.
In point of fact the most trifling OBJ
lect or its equivalent should be given
again to the original owner. Indeed,
me equivalent is not always enough.
l. or example, there are conditions under
which a postage stamp is worth far more
man cents. Witness those Sundays
IN the country, which every person has
experienced, when there was a keen de-
sire to send a letter by hand to town to
he posted. Without a stamp one could
not consider asking the favor of a de-
parting stranger; with it the stranger
onthesomely takes the letter and posts

ullions must be returned.

When it comes to those persons who
