UNCLE JED'S TALK .TO WIDE- AWAKES. Years ago boys and gzirls were told “they should be seen, not heard!” an intimation that they ‘looked better with their mouth shut and their eyes glistening with' interest, than they did trying to talk about something of which they knew nothing, as. many srewn up people do. Noone ‘can teil how many hundred vears igé it was discovered that “speech is silvern and silence golden.” In silence there is usually safety; and In eareless talk great peril. T will tell, you a positive truth: The tongue has wounded more people on earth than all the armies that have «gver been formed, and has been the canse of'every kind of crime. “As long 2g0 as'the days of Solomon it was said’ by the wise that “Who keepeth his mouth and tongie, keepsth his goul from trouble.” You remember the parret that play- ed ‘with the eat and had hls fathers torn out, eald’ “he’ talKed too muéeh,” ard “he trusted too much, too,” or the cat would met have torn out his, pretty plumage and-left him a 'sight to be- Bold. A preacher in the days of David #31d to the people: “Rehearse not un- t6 anothér that which is told unts thee, ‘and thou shalt fare never the worse:” -And this same - spéaker warnied the people to be “as one that knoweth, vet holdeth his tongue.” All these things haye been said be- cause Time has established the fact that “a great talker is a great Mar!” Also, that “a man of silence is a man of sense!” The following is worth memorizing, because it will help you to be care- ful: “If wisdom's ways you Wisely seek, Five things observe with care: Of whom you speak, to whom you speak, ‘And ‘how, and when and where!” THE WINNERS OF PRIZE BOOKS. 1—Emma_ Freemel of Baltic—Mary Jane—Her Book..
