CRITICISM.

The teacher was giving the school a little lecture on good conduct. “ Lei me caution you on another point, children,” she said. “Avoid criticising. Don’t make a practice of finding fault with other people, or picking flaws in what they say or do. It is a very bad habit to form, and will make your own life unhappy.” “Why, teacher,” spoke up a little boy, “that’s the way my father makes his livin’ !” You , surprise , me, .George.What is your father’s occupation?” “He’s a proof reader, ma’am.” The teacher coughed behind her fan. “Well, George,” she said, “I will make an exception in the case of your father.”

It is proven every day that the man who has the ability to make money does not always have the ability to hold it.

The courage of some consists in viewing the misfortunes of others.
