THOUGHTS.

He who would attain knowledge must
stoop to drink Of its fountain.
A noble heart is like pure wine grows
richer and mellower and stronger with
age. 1t is only weak spirit and an ig-
noble temper that turns sour with years
and SORROWS.
lie that would do well in any course
of life, must take up the cross The
man Of fashion, the man Of feeling, tho
courtier, the rustic, the proud philoso-
pher and the meek christian alike must
bear the cross.
Religious faith may be compared to a
mountain spring, whose source is high
above the impurities of life, and which
descends thence to the most humble
walks of duty, cool and soft, to wash the
tear from the eye and the sulies Of earth
from the brow.
Human nature, like kaleidoscope,
presents new combination every look
you take at it.
Charity (says Fenelon, ] think) does
not require Of US that we should not see
the faults Of others, but that we should
avoid all needless and voluntary obser-
vations, and that we should not be blind
to their good qualities when we are so
clear sighted to their bad ones.
MANN. Never contend with any
man. If he is stronger than yourself,
contention is folly, if weaker, it is in
dignity.
Calamity has bad character indeed
but it is an indefinite one. The circ um-
stances which are supposed to create it.,
like pigeons neck, appear of one col
our to me WHO stand in this ight and of
another to you as you happen TO be
placed.
The lightning which rends the rock
reveals the mine; any event from which
| can extract good or pleasure ceases to
be misfortune, and what may open a
source of enjoyment to you should not be
| deemed an evil. Let us therefore be
careful how we pronounce others unfor-
tunate, or imagine ourselves so. When
apparent calamities fall upon us, we
should examine them closely and patient
ly: we may find them of an entirely OPP
posite character. The ills Of life gener-
ally bear a worse name than they de-
serve, and the goods Of it frequently, like
some foreign coins, have no value but
that acquired by their denomination.
Men frequently say that good actions,
to be truly good and honorable, should
be done secretly. 1t has false idea, and
arises generally from an envious disin-
clnation TO contemplate the good actions
of others. Indeed, the world would lose
great part Of the benefit of exalted deeds
by the concealment OF them-the influ-
ence of their example. Surely if any
species Of vanity is venial, it is that of
displaying to mankind an example of vir-
tue and usefulness.
Some have sense in their heads, but
It's like reel in bottle there is no
getting it oil, and one cannot imagine
how the devil it gets in
