THE GOLDEN RULE.

If thou and thy brother have aught to decide, And fail at the last to agree, Ne’er bring to another thy cause to be tried, As erring and selfish as he. No; judge for thyself by this rule ever true, Ere thou dost a brother condemn:— “All things that ye would men should do unto you, Do ye even so unto them.”
If a dark wave of trouble has swept o’er a soul, And a cry has gone forth for relief, Ne’er pause ere you give, nor thy charity dole, Lest thou add a new pang to the grief. Still follow the rule that is changeless and true, And ne’er will thy conscience condemn: “All things that ye would men should do unto you, Do ye even so unto them.”
