nothing in wise man but his ovrrsighls
and iolles nothing in good man but his

spicab!e. Should we heap together all the
passionate speeches, all the imprudent ac-
lions of the best man, and present them all
at one view. conccallng his wisdom and vlr-
tues he, in his disguise, would look like a
mad man or a fury. And yet, if his life
were fairly represented in the manner as il
was led, he wonld appear to all the world to
be an admirable and excellent person. Blu,
how numerous soever any mans Ill qualities
are, il is just that he should nave the due

SHORT SAYINGS. The path that leads to
fortune too often passes through the narrow
dehes of mcanness, which man of exalted
spirit cannot stoop to tread.
When young we trust ourselves too much,
and we trust others too little when old RASH

of age.

ruin themselves at their passovers, the Nloors
at their marriages, and the Christians at
their lawsuits.
