Small Talk and Little Mind.
the Philadclphis Ledger.

from Inc fnilaGeiInis tsustr
The ones who have learned to hold their
peace are chiefly entitled to the benson
bestowed upon all peacemakers. There is
nothing like the circulation of malicious
gossip to foment discord and create a
ranking unhappiness where placid salts
faction dwelt.
Small talk Is the product of a little
mind. too cramped to hold a large idea.
Since it cannot hope to create n profound
impression by any thought of magnitude,
it comes instead with the "leprous distil-
ment'' of poisonous suspicion. innuendo.
and unsubstantiated hearsay. to set friend
afoul OF friend and further inflame a
standing quarrel
There are those who put an end to the
life of every lie and each uncharitable
rumor when it comes to them. For no
false witness can live except by circula-
tion from tongue to ear and thehce to the
tongue again. II music when soft voices
die must perish. so must the calumny
and the unverified report perish to the
mortuary silence of the mind that buries
in oblivion what does not deserve to be
remembered.
