CARELESS WORDS.

How frequently, in & thoughtless
moment, or in sport, we utter words
which sink deep into some heart, in
dieting untold anguish, and blotting
the pages OF its life-book with burning
tears. Time may heal the wound, and
troubled waves may be hushed into
quietness; the fire that scorched the
quivering heart strings may be quench-
ed, but bitter ashes will ever mark the
pathway of those careless words. 1t
may be that weight of sorrow that
bowed the fainting spirit to the earth
was rendered heavier to be borne by
the added grief of thoughtless word.
Perhaps an unguarded expression has
been uttered, and the tongue of malice
repeats it with new coloring, and a
meaning never intended, and thus The
strongest ties OF affection have been
severed.
