NO WRONG SIDE.

By Jos. Clark

Sometimes, we see a yoke of oxen, or a span of horses, that can be approached with safety only on the near side; go around on the off side, and approach them, and you soon feel the weight of their heels, accelerated by such a motion, as you cannot dodge. So it is sometimes with many men. If you can keep the right side of them, all right; if you get on the wrong side, no matter how innocently, it is all over with you; you are doomed.

Now I like to see a man good natured all over. Some such we happen to know; and it does one's soul good just to think of them; always smiling, always polite, no off side, no disposition to kick.
