Don't Laugh At Breaking Hearts

Do not laugh at the druoken man reeling through the street, however ludicrous the sight may be ; just stop to think. He ia going hoine to sonie tender hcart that will tlirob with intense agony ; souio doting mother, pcrhaps, who will grieve over the downfall of her once sinless boy ; or it may be a fond wife, whose heart will almost lmrst witli grief as she views the destruction of her idol, or it may be a loving sister who will shod bitter tears over the degrad:ition of her brother, shorn of his manliiii's.s and self'respect. Kather drop a tear in silent sympathy with those hoartd so keenly sensitivo and tender, and yet ho proud and loyal that they oannot accept sympathy tendered theni cither m word, look, or act, although it might fall upon their crushed and wounded hearts aj ret'ri'shingly as the summcr dew upon the witheriog plant.
