M no your tongue, and I will fill you what sort of a moral liver you have. The tongue is an un- aria. an indication in moral as in physical diagnosis. for " out of the abundance of the heart the month ”hath,” When you find a fellow 'ith a tongue all furred with spleen or inflamed with envy, you may put it down that he has a jaundiced liver or a Ca n’s heart. A man may pro- ”an to have gone through all the1 degrees of the modern holiness curri- ulum, even to "complete eradi- ation,” but if his tongue gets away with him and he ripe the people up the back who do not see through the little slit that forms his line of vision, he could not convince a ten year old boy that he is any better than the old tish wife who spreads herself in’adjectives that are not found in Webster or Worcester. A .an may dress in style, he as court- ly in manner and speak English as faultlessly and wittily as Colonel lngersoll, but when he drops to the ideas and vernacular of the bar-room loafer and gutter snipe, he proclaims himself an accomplished blackguard. A dirty tongue bespeaks a rotten heart. A mean tongue is perhaps the commonest used, and certainly the most trying to society. The man without a good word for any- one, whose insinuations and inuendos play havoc with reputation and ruin friendship, is perhaps the most con- temptible of the evil tongued tribe. The "cut” is forever at the tip of his tongue, and the sneer forms upon his lips as naturally as breath- ing. With a smile he thrusts his stiletto into character, and laughs at the conflagration his fiendishness ha. caused. There is one consolation, this kind of thing gets back. The gall and wormwood you have mixed for other people will one day be handed to you in the chalice of your own creating, and your own heart will be filled with the bitterness of hell. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue. and they that lave it shall eat the fruit thereof ” npprecisting them.

He undertook to interfere unnecessarily with a cor poratiqn foreman one day. and then latter snubbed him. " Do you know who lam sir?” he asked. swelling himself out like a bull paddy, and glaring at the man of fustian. “Yes,” replied the other quietly with al twinkle, while the other employees‘ leaned on their picks to hear the sequel. “You are Jimmie H., and I helped to carry all you owned on my hack up from the wharf when you landed in this country.” The wealthy alderman strutted 03 with dire threats of vegeance, but he kept away from the job afterwards When the hog can’t do anything else it can grunt, and some folks have no other way of inspiring folks with their size. Don’t grunt. PeOple who do business with you will justly put you down for a pig. Treat people eivily. When a man comes in to sell you goods. don’t grunt. When a firm writes you about your account, don’t grunt. When your wife or children approach you. don’t grunt. When the preacher touches up your feelings, don’t grunt. Pigs grunt. â€". Ignorance is the mother of im- pudence. When you hear a man finding iault with everything that is put before him at a hotel table, you can put it down that he was brought up in a shack and was glad once to get his meals 03 a packing box.

In almost every half bushel there are some small turnips, whether the measure repre- sent business men or church mem- bers. The worst of it is these scrub vegetables keep coming to the tap and discredit their batters. Mean men are really in a minority in the world, and if they did not have so much mouth and cheek they would scarcely be noticed, but like weeds and all Other things that are not wanted. they are hard to keep down. They are foremost usually in moving resolutions at business meetings, and are the first on their feet in religious gatherings. They can talk longer and pray louder than seven men that can render a reason or ten men that keep the golden rule. They manage to get on delegations to conventions, and are shoved into office through the sheer weariness of those who are glad of any expedient to secure relief from their presence and power of their Jaws. front of the show. and do anything but Spend money tc get there. They do not believe in advertising. but if they can get a free write-up with a cut of themselves thrown in gratis in the local paper. they will lend coun- tenance to the thing and before thev are through want to give the news-‘ paper man twice as much matter as‘ he is willing to devote to their vir-‘ tues. The little fellow is always“ sweetly saying nasty things about lhis competitors. and volunteering {confidential information concerning ‘his neighbors. that is not calculated to enhance their commercial rating. ‘There is no more honest humor or 9 genmnejov in his metallic laugh than there is music in the rattle of a cow bell. and yet the laugh is always on tap and the hand always out like a I pump handle. What to do with . these creatures who are all sting and I no honey. it is as hard to say for min- isters as business men. It is related of Henry Ward Beecher that a young man came to him and stated that he lhad intended joining his church but 'he had concluded that he would not l do so. because he knew two or three I men in it that were of the class above i mentioned. " I have often wonder- ed.” said Mr Beecher. “ Why the Lord permitted men like those to 3 whom you have referred. to be in the church. but new I understand it. - It is to keep fools like you out.” Men don’t stay out of business because I there are a few shysters in it.

The advt. in question was addressed to bachelors. being an ofier on the part of the company to provide young men with wives in consideration of a fee. Quite a fewpnews-papers, the Journal included, published the advt. in good faith not taking the trouble on ac count of the distance. of investigat- ing the bonifides of the concern mentioned While others consigned it to the waste paper basket. But the Winnipeg Free Press went further; than merely throwing the offer in the ' waste basket, The business tnana~ l ger of that paper entered into corres-z ;pondence with the commissioner oil limigration with the view of ascet-l ltaining whether the firm ofi'ering the ' advertisement had a bonafied exist- ,ence and was actually prepared to icarry out the agreement; Specified.i l'l‘he commissioner referred the in- lquiry to the London office. which 1 made a thorough iivestigation of the affairs of the matrimonial bureau. employing for this purpose the {officers of Scotland Yard. the centre .of all police authority in 1.0060 1. The reply of the English authorities was to the effect that the corporation which has been ”so extensively ad- !vertised in Canadian papers, is whol 'ly fraudulent, undeserving of the :slightest public confidence, and en- tirely unrepared to serve the public lin any capacity. The commissioner ‘desired the Free Press to warn all readers of the entire unreliability of the firm and any reader of this paper who may have been unfortunate enough to enter into any negotiations with the company may understand l that nothing whatever is to be looked ifor from them in the way of fulfil- .ment of any contract. It is a true l successor to the numberless fake con- .cerns which have sought to defraud 'the unsuspicious public. and whose advertising matter has been accepted by many confiding newspapers.
