And if you are mean, you cannot conceal it. People will know it. Our unfortunato human fondness for gossip always puts us in pesessiv?n of all the worser qualities of each other. Don't you and your intimate friends, my hoy, discus- the weak and evil points in your in ighbor character? Of course you do; and when you are the absent 11.ne, bo assured, Tclemachus, that your friends are in iike manner dissecting you. Indeed they are. They know all about you, and that which you would have least known, they know the best. And, at any rate, my son, you know it, and that is enough. Sometimes I wonder what a mean man thinks about when he goes to bed. When he turns out the light and lies down. When the darkness closes in about him and ho is alone and compelled tube honest with himself.

Not a penny dropped mil ino out*trci neu , w'ui r poverty, nor iho b;i?in of a loving \v rd d copped into an aching heart; no sunbeam of encouragement cast upon a struggling lif.-; no strong light hand of fellowship reached out to help some fallen uian to his Icet?when none of theae thit gs come to hiiu as the "(1ml hle.-.s i you" of the departed day, how he must halo i himself.
