THE HOUR GLASS n

The hours were mine to plan--out of the gray
And misty future would cali

And then unbidden would let them GO
For / would know

And GREATNESS watch the tiny stream of gold

No hidden secrets but my own-and so.

We Should Do Good to
Those We Know De-
SpiSe us

Let him do good to those who
despitefully use him, and speak
pityingly of those who lie, about
him, even if he keeps away from
their society.
And let him forget all his
troubles, which are mainly mag
mary.
No lasting or serious harm
can come to any one who fills
his mind with good thoughts,
his mouth with good words, and
his life with good actions.

A YOUNG MAN who prides

A YOUNG MAN who prides
~ himself upon his good
habits, and who tries to
live up to the ideals implanted in
his mind by a good mother, is
made very unhappy by the mall
ice of his enemies. He says:
'.The reason / write is, | suf-
fer--not from weapons, but from
tongues of my adversaries, who
seek only to drag me down to
degradation with lies which I
can not understand. My nature
is more like woman's; by that
/ mean, more refined than a
mans nature usually is"
No lies of our enemies can
harm us if we pass on in the
patch of truth and pay no atten-
ton, further than a calm denial
of nlisstatements.
We are judged by our lives
and actions in the long run, not
by the gossip of our detractors.
The only human being I recol-
lect who attained maturity with
out being lied about and having
: enemies was a blind idiot.
This young man quoted above
quite possibly is too self-cen--
tered.
