TRUE CULTURE.

The highest culture is to speak no ill;

The best reformer is the man whose eyes

Are quick to see all beauty and all worth;

And by his own discreet, well-ordered life,

Alone reproves the erring.

When they gaze

Turns it on thine own soul, be most severe.

But when it falls upon a fellow-man

Let kindliness control it; and refrain

From that belittling censure that springs forth

From common lips like weeds from marshy soil.
