and gasping and spare little time to
consider the needs and comfort of
others. But is possible for every
man to cultivate the virtue, and if
more men cultivated it, If all men
"pulled up the thistle and planted
rose in its stead" half of the sor.
row ana suffering in the world would
vanish before another sunset.
Why not make the effort if you
have been mean and selfish and
grouchy and hard hearted?
1t will be worth much to you.
The longest life Is short, indeed,
compared to eternity, and the travel
er passes this way but once. The
only things really worth while are
health and happiness, and those can
be bought with kindness.
Money is good thing to have,
but if you must get it and leave
kindness and goodness out of your
life you will be better off without
the money.
Cultivate little kindness each
day and see if it does not make your
life worth more to you.

What Kindness Will Buy.

Few people know what a wonder
fully valuable asset kindness and
courtesy constitute, and those who
practice the virtues never stop to
think of the good it does them.
They are concerned more about
helping others than themselves and
are unmindful of the fact that what
they do is like "bread cast upon
waters"
1t was Abe Lincoln, the great,
big, tender-hearted man, who lived
when war and strife divided the
country asunder, who said:
"When they lay me away let it be
said of me, as | travelled along life's
road l have always endeavorod to
pull up the thistle and plant rose
in its stead"
And there are those who yet live
to testify that he never failed to do
that when opportunity offered.
The result is that he is remember
ed now with kindness even by those
who once hated him.

by nature most of them are selfish
