The Morality Market.

Let us no moro contend nor blame Each other, blamed enough elsswhero, but strive In offices of love, how we may lighten Each other’s burthen, in our share of woe. —Milton. AYe wonder bow it really would work if every one were to make a positive resolve that he would each and every day of his life djo one act of, practical kindness tojsome oner Why, there would he so much kindness in the market that-we should soon hear a howl of “overproduction_!” and men would be scooting along the streets to find some one to he kind to. Smith would rush up to Brown and exclaim with great agitation: “My dear boy, can't I do you some kindness?” “No, niy dejtr fellow. I am long- on kindness myself—dieen hunting for fife' last two hours to find some one to serve.” —.“Dear! dear!' how very . vexatious; don’t know what I'shall do. Can’t xve swap acts of benevolence?” “Well, I really don’t see how it would be practicable,'tiPPanse if we exchange there will be no benevolence. ” “That’s true—but, upon my life, I don’t see our way out of the difficulty; and I have solemnly pledged myself to one disinterested kindly deed per day.” —Texas Sifting*.
