If We All Wguld Do ii.

Recently the writer was going
down street behind several jolly
girls and when they came to a nail
driven through a board with the
point up, one stopped and took great
pains to turn it down, saying that it
might ruin somebody's foot. How
thoughtful we all say. But the
writer thought too, how different
this world would be if everybody
going along the lane of life would
take the pains to turn down all the
sharp thorns Of criticism and malice
and anger. How easy it would be
for a community to change itself
from heart to conduct if every one
in it would ouly take time and use
the forethought in all that pertains
to another's happiness. How many
useless, foolish, unkind, things are
said, things which can bring profit
to no one, and must stir up strife
and embitter hatred, things which
would not be said, if a little fore
thought had been exercised. No
one is so mean that we ought to de-
sire his i'll will, no one so helpless
that he might not be able to do you
a good turn some day. no one SO in
significant that you can afford to
make him suffer by needless thrusts
and unkind neglects. Burlington
