ABOUT HATING.

By Sel.

Hate nothing. It is not worth while. Your life is not long enough to make it pay to cherish ill-will or hard thoughts. What if this man has cheated you, or that woman played you false? What if this friend has forsaken you in time of need, or that one, having won your utmost confidence, your warmest love, has concluded that he prefers to consider and treat you as a stranger? Let it all pass. What difference will it make to you in a few years, when you go to the undiscovered country? A few more smiles, a few more pleasures, much pain, a little longer hurrying and worrying through the world, some hasty greetings and abrupt farewells, and our play will be “played out,” the injured will be laid away and ere long forgotten. Is it worth while to hate one another?—Sel.
