Quick Temper.
A matter not unworthy of remark is the
moat universal claim laid to that supposed -
to -be undesirable posseasion, quick temper.
"I have a frightfully quiok temper 1" is an
assertion often made without any sign ot re-
gret, rather with evident seleconaplaceney.
And how often, when, with the intention of
saying something pleasing, we remark with
the sweetness of a friend's dispoeition to the
friend in person, as we are met with the re-
ply, "Oh, you're quite mistaken; I'm one
of the quickest -tempered people in the
world 1" givenin a tone thee does not imply
modest deprecation of a compliment, but a
decided sense of unappreciated merit.
Now, this willingness—eagerness, it may
even, without exaggeration, be called—to
be convicted of what is acknowledged to be
a fault, strikes one as a clarion:3 anomaly.
No one would answer, if told, "You are
very truthful," "Oh, no, I'm a constant
liar ;" nor, if complimented upon consistent
attention so her own business, would re-
spond, "On the contrary, mandal-morwer-
ing is my favorite oompation," At least,
no one would give either of these answers
ID the serious way in whioh the claim to
the possession of a hot temper is made.
May there not be, underlying ..this bacon
siatenoy and explaining it, a mrsconception
of the real meaning and Boum of a
quick temper? To many minds this unde-
sirable trait seems to be the outcome of
many very admirable qualities. To be hot-
tempered means, inferentially, in such men-
tal vocabularies, to be generous, and large.
minded, and unselfish, and, after a lapse of
time, forgiving. But I maintain that it means
exactly the reverse of all these thinge. If a
man be quiokaernpered, if he give way to
anger quickly and unrighteously (for I Leave
out the question entirely that righteous wrath
which rises for good retteons only, and is
quite a different matter from temper), he is
not genenous, for he shows no regard for the
comfort of those around him; he is not unsel-
fish, for it le safe to say that in nine cases out
of ten, if nob in ten out of ten, his fury is
kindled by some fancied slight to himself
and is allowed to blaze simply as an illutnin-
ation in honor of his self-esteem; he is not -

feed), urbane to the whilom victim of it, the
restoration is simply forged:linen, and to
forget the injury inflicted upon another by
his own hasty words is by no means synony.
MOM with forgiveness of iejuriee he himself
may have received. Lest of all, he is not
largaminded. I am convinced that a quick
temper ia an unfailing indication of a limited
intelligence and a leek of mental quickness.
If the mind were large enough to grasp the
true relations of things, to see how ernall a
point in the universe this temper -rousing
episode occupied, and if it could see this quick
ly—in a flash of thought—the outburst would

Walking in new cotton socks left no trail

was followed, but not eagerly.
The master walked fifty yards in his shoot-
