RULES FOR USING THE ToNGUE.-The tongue is called in the bible an unruly member Our experi- ence accords perfectly with this statement and our observations upon the tongues of others have satis fled evil. We think the following rules, if careful ly followed, will be found of great use in tanning that which has not yet been perfectly tanned

 1. Never use your tongue in speaking any thing but truth The God of truth who made the tongue, did not intend it for any other use It will not work well in falsehood it will run into such inconsistent cies as to detect itself To use this organ for pub fishing talsehood, is as incongruous as the use of l the eyes for hearing, or the ears for smelling. | ?. Do not use your.tongue too much. It IS kind of waste gate to let off the thoughts they collect and expand the mind; but if the waste gate is al- ways open the water will soon run shallow. Many people use their tongues too much. Shut the gate and let the streams of thought flow in, till the mind is fulI and then you may let off with some effect

 3. Never let the streams of passion move the tongue. Some people when they are about to put this member in motion, hoist the wrong gate-they

 let cut passion instead of reason The tongue then makes great noise, disturbs the quetude of their neighbors, exhauss the persons strength, and does no good. The whirl-wind has ceased but what is the benefit?

 4. Look into the pond and see if there is water enough to move the wheel to any purpose, before you open the gate: or plainly, to think before you speak.

 5. Never put your tongue in motion while you respondent has his in motion. The two streams will meet and the reaction will be so great that vol will both bespatter yourselves.

 6. See that your tongue is hung true before yol use it. Some tongues, we have observed, are s' hung that they equivocate considerable. Let sucl turn the screw of conscience until the tongue nov

 true.

 T z Expect that others will use their tongues fo

 what you doy yours. Some claim the privilege of re

 porting all the news and charge others not to do SC

 Your neighbors will not allow you to monopoliz

 this business If you have any thing to be kept SC

 cret keep it yourself-Weafeld Herald.
