OUR RIGHTS.
The people who always are suspiciously watclung lest someone infringe upon their rights, are very likely to overlook the greatest right of.all—the right_ to be generous and kind. "Watching people as probablo enemies is an attitude whicli makes it almost impossible to treat' them as friends. As someone has said the best thing about our rights is that, being ours, we can do as we please with them. We can fence in our property, watch our privileges, and jealously guard every jot and tittle that belongs to us, but we never can live a happy life in that way. We are protecting our so-called rights at the expense of wasting our blessings, and are missing our share of the love and the usefulness that make up liie's life's happiness.
