THOUGHTS AND SENTIMENTS.

THOUGHTS AND SENTIMENTS.
-. A warm heart ever going forth in gen
tie deeds and words of love TO all around is IL
resistible.
-. Leisure for study, thought and social
enjoyment, are to be counted as part of ones
income.
-. Men are sometimes accused of pride,
merely because their accusers would be proud
themselves if they were in their places.
-. Most people complain bitterly of the
troubles of life, yet often greatly increase lfe's
real troubles by the anticipations of imaginary
ones.
-. There is no outward prosperity which
can counteract Incidence, extravaganza, and
folly at home.
-. Ever since there has been so great
command for type, there has been much less
lead to spare for balls.
-. Is it not better that your friend tell you
of your faults privately, than that your enemy
talk of them publicly!
49, So vital necessity to all living men
is truth, that the Eiest traitor feels amazed and
wronged-feels the pillars of the world Shaken
when treason recoils on himself
-. For everything you buy or sell, let or
hire, make an exact bargain at ffst, and not
be put off TO an hereafter by one that says to
you-"We shall not disagree about trifles."
-. The best time to frame an answer to the
letters of friend is the moment you receive
them; then the warmth of friendship and the
intelligence received, most forcibly cooperate.
-. Who has not seen a child turn from
the embodiment of all that could please the eye,
to sit, a charmed listener on the lap of one
whose only attraction was gentle voice speak
ing words warm with the love of pure hearth
-. Cleobulus being asked, why he sought
not to be advanced to honor and preferment,
made this reply: 90 friend, as long as 1 study
and practice humility, know where l am j;
but, when / shall hunt after dignities and pro-
motion, am afraid L shall lose myself"
49,. Ones age should be tranquil as ones
childhood should be playful. Hard work at
either extremity of human existence seems to
me out of place; the morning and the evening
should be alike cool and peaceful; at midday
the sun may burn, and men may labor under it.
-. Cruelty to dumb animals is one of the
distinguishing vices of the lowest and basest of
the people, ISF6NeE IL Is IOunu IL IS u GER
tain mark of ignorance and meanness an in
trinsic mark, which all the external advantages
of wealth, splendor and nobility cannot oblite-
rate.
-. The world would be more happy if per-
sons gave up moro time to an intercourse of
friendship: but money engrosses all our defer
ence; and We scarce enjoy social hour, be-
cause we think it unjustly stolen from the main
business of our lives.
-. Elegance resides not with The uphol-
sterer or the draper; it is not put up with the
hangings and curtains; it is not in tie mosaics,
the carpetings, the rosewood, the mahogany,
the candelabra, or the marble ornaments; it
exists in the spirit presiding over apartments
of the building.
