SELECTED PARAGRAPHS.

Meeting and Parting, Mems feelings
are always purest and most glowing in the
hour of meeting and farewell; like the gIa-
ciers which are transparent and rosy hued
only at sunrise and sun set, but throughout
the day grave and cold.
Serroacs. A small sorrow dstracts, a
great one makes us collected, as bell loses
its tone when slightly cracked, and recov-
ers if the fssure is enlarged. Every heavy
round the neck, yet are they only the stones
used by pearl divers, which enables them
to reach the prize and rise encircled
Virt,se and Fortitucle. The sorrows of
a noble mind are spring frosts, which pre-
cede the summer; those OF corrupted and
contracted ones, are autumnal frosts which
are only followed by winter.
affection. When men arrive at GER
tain station of greatness, their regards are
dissipated on too great a number of objects
to feel parental affection; the ties of nature
are onIy strong with those who have but
few dependents.
Errors. For the first time the very best
may err; art may persuade, and novelty
spread out its charm. The first fault is the
child of simplicity; but every other the Off
spring Of guilt.
The highest Pleasure. The conscious
ness of having acted from principle and
without the praise of any person whatever
is a pleasure superior to all that pleasure
can yield.
I'm object cf ambition. 1t may not be in
your power to excel many people in riches,
hmors or abilities: but you may excel thou
sands in goodness of heart, Hither turn
your ambition. Here is an object worthy
of it.
Il noble conquest. An angel incapable
of feeling anger, must envy the man who
can feel and yet conquer it.
