Regard for Others.

Because of the infirmity of our nature great interests and high aims often make men regardless of lesser proprieties, let us not esteem the want of them as other than a fault, nor grudge the domestic philanthropist who cheers his neighbor's fireside, who raises their dulled spirits, whose presence brings refreshment with it, who enhances their every-day joys, and sympathizes in the little trials that each day also brings in its train, though it may be only through the impulses of a genial nature, his reward, in his indulgent host of friends, with their warm welcomes, hearty praises, affectionate extenuations, tender regrets.—Sel.
