GRATITUDE.
Os all the graces to which man
is heir to gratitude is one of the
most enobling. But man alone is
not the only creature that is pos
sessed of this faculty. You have
seen a dog when his master has
given him to eat. place his
head between his masters hands,
and a look of gratitude would come
from his eyes. Yes, animals are
possessed of this. Man, in his
blindness, sometimes forgets, and
smites the hand that gives him
tread. You have seen it. We
have in our muds eye several per
sons when friends have tome to
their assistance in the hour of
need, when the wolf of hunger
would linger at the door, when the
dark clouds of adversity would
hang above their heads, and dispel
the gloom by timidly aid, but when
they gained their feet would take
the first opportunity to do them an
injury. We have heard of men
who have rendered assistance to
others in various ways, loaned
them money, fed their familys,
when the frowns of the world
were upon them, but as soon as it
brightened for them, because more
was not done, the demon lurking
in their hearts would be so awfully
sevare as to say: “I hope that
someday you will be compelled to
beg bread from me?’ We heard a
sto»y once relative to the cuse in
point. A who had been
in the habit of borrowing from
another, and who never returned
anything he borrowed, and yet was
neve refused, had company at his
house, but lacked a partition. So
looking over to his neighbors he
sawt he door shutter, and conluded
that would answer his purpose.
He sent over but the other man
said that he could no possible loan
his door shutter because it was
night and he needed it himself.
Upon receiving this word the man
flew into a rage and swore that
his neighbor was the meanest man
upon the face of the earth. It
is just such ingratitude that makes
the world as near the domanis of
the devil a» it is. If we had
gratitude, we would have charity,
and if the earth was enveloped in
charity the millenium would come
on apace; the desert places would
bloom and smile and the world
would be happy in the love which
should pervade the earth as the
waters cover the channels ot the
great deep.
