THE GENTLE CYNIC.

Many a man with genius hasn’t common sense enough to use it. There is no lack of opportunities to do the thing we shbuldn’t. The fellow who is always on the fence doesn't carry much weight. It is easier to drive some men to drink than it Is to lead them away from it. The man who always follows the dictation of his conscience must have pretty sharp ears. In contemplating what we do for others we are apt to lose sight of what others do for us. If it were not for their long faces some people hAve an idea the world wouldn’t know they were religious. It takes two to make a quarrel, bat the auarrelsome person has seldom any difficulty In finding the other one.
