Never believe the worst of folks, when once you have seen their best. Of any friendship worthy the name, that is the surest test. Gossip is ready at every turn your faith and trust to slay; but the loyal heart Is deaf to doubt—whatever the world may say. Whatever ycu hear on other lips, let it not. soil your own! Let friendship’s handclasp firmer be, while the seed of slander’s own. Keep the image before your eyes of the friend who's a friend to you; stand by the pact of proven love —whatever the world may Never believe the worst of folks, while your own soul sees the best. All that matters is what you know—not what gossip has guessed! And if all that you know is straight and fine, and has brought you friendship’s joys, be proud to treasure the truth that’s yours—whatever the world destroys. H.S.
