THE TONGUE.—

By F. M. Munson

The tongue of the slanderer is forked like the tongue of a snake, inflicting three wounds at a single thrust; it injures him who speaks; it injures him who hears, and makes him partaker of the sin; it hurts him of whom the slander is spoken. A long tongue has the slanderer; it can reach around the world; a sharp tongue, it pierces the solitude and quiet of the grave. —Rev. F. M. Munson.
