men, extremely poor. In the winter he
was obliged to read and write in bed, not
having any other means to defend himself
from the rigor of the season. He was
professor of philosophy at the royal col
lege, and seldom went from the room he
had there. One day, thief knocked al

studies than to his money, he, with his
usual sang frOid, said, Open one of the
drawers of my secretary, and take what
ever you find" The thief, installing the
drawer, pulled out number of manu-
scripts. Moliere, perceiving the confu

have mistaken the drawer, and will give
me great deal of trouble" The THE

Dewdrops of Wisdom.

True modesty is discerning grace.
If you wish to marry suitably, marry
your equal.
As drinks have their dregs, so does life
have its sediment.
Few have borne, unconsciouslv, the
spell of loneliness.
Men possessing small souls are general
ly the authors of great evils.
| To keep your eoorot is wisdnm but tr
expect others to keep it is folly.
Liberality consists less in giving much
than in giving with discretion.
Whatever of good one may say of US
he teaches us nothing new.
There is pleasure in meeting the eyes
of one upon whom we have just conferred
benefit.
He who would look with contempt upon
the farmers pursuit is not worthy the
name of man.
We always love those who admire us
but we do not always love those whom
we admire.
Thou mayst be more prodigal of praise
when thou writest letter than when thou
speakest in presence.
If most married women possessed as
much prudence as they do vanity, we
should find many husbands far happier.
Removing prejudices is, alas too often
removing the boundary of a delightful
near prospect in order to let in shock
ingly extensive one.
Try to be happy in this very present
moment, and put not off being so to a time
to come; as though that time should be
of another make from this, which is al
