Rubbing Off Rough Edges.
Some men, fond of reading and of •
scholarly turn of mind, makes great mistake
in leading the exclusive lives they do. Every
man is better for associating with people,
and the wise man, while never peering to
love his books and studies, will find himself
wiser and his mind healthier if he goes forth
into the big world and, so to speak, gets next
to the great popular heart. When a man as
sociates with his fellows, the rough edges of
his nature aro worn off, and a good deal of
nonsense is knocked out of him.—P. T. Bar
