PRETTY THOUGHTS.

What is crime2 A wrelched vagabond
travelling from place TO FACE in fruilsss en-
dearor 10 escape from justice VITO is enga-
sed in hot pursuit; foe TO poor innocence
which is loo ofen made TO suffer for the
snily. What is thought? A fountain from
which flows all good and evil ipterlons-a
mental flood electrical IN the force and ra.
pidiiy of its movements, silently, flowing
unseen within lis avenue--yei il is The con.
trolling power of animated nature, and the
chief main spring of all our actions.
What is happiness? A butterfly that
roves from flower to flower in the vast gar
den Of existence, ard which is eagerly pur.
sned by the multitude in hope of obtaining
The prize; yerit continually evades their
-2tas7.
Wha, is fashion? A beautiful envelope
for mortality, presenting gluerine and
polished exterior, the appearance of which
gives no certain indication of the real value
of what is contained therein.
What is wit, A sparkling beverage that
is highly exhlleraing agreeable when par
taken al the expense of others; but when
used at our cost it becomes bitter aud un-
pleasant.
What is knowledge. "A key thatnnrav-
els all mysteries, " hich unlocks the entrance
and discovers new, and unseen and unirod-.
den paths in the hitherto unexplored field OF
scence aud literature.
What is fear A friehtful substance 10
the really guilty but vain and harmless
shadow to the conscientious, honest and up
right.
What is joya The honey of existence
really beneficial and agreeable when parta.
ken of in moderation, but highly injurious
when used to excess.
