Democratic Sentinel, Volume 19, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 April 1895 — Losing the Temper. [ARTICLE]

Losing the Temper.

Losing the temper takes all the sweet, pure feeling out of life. You may get up in the morning with a clean heart, full of song, and start out as happy as a bird, and the moment you are crossed and you give way to your temper, the clean feeling vanishes and a load as heavy as lead is rolled upon the heart, and you go through the rest of the day feeling like a culprit. And any one who has experienced this feeling knows that it cannot be shaken off, but must be prayed off. The eggs of the crocodile are scarcely larger than those of the goose.
