CHOICE VARIETY.

PREFER truth before the maintaining o.
an opinion.
He that would know what life is, mus.
have its riais as well as its joys.
ONLY what the mind drinks 10 with ca
gerness becomes thoroughly its own.
lT is folly TO believe that lie can faith
fully love who does not love fai,hfulness.
MORE hearts pine away in secret an
guish from want Of kindness from those
who should be their comlorters, than from
any other calamity in life.
VINO shoots at the mid day sun, though
he is sure he shall never hit the mark, vet
sure he is that he shall shoot higher than
he who aims but at bust.
Tue great in affection bear n coun.
:enance more princely than they were
wont (; for i: is the temper OF highes
hearts, like the palm tree, to strive mos
upward when it Is most burdeneG.
The great designs that have been ma.
tured and digeSted, and the great literary
works that have been begun and finished
in prisons, prove that tyrants have not
yet discovered chains that can fetter the
mind.
Envy increases in exact proportion with
fame. The man that makes a charscte,
makes enemies. A radiant genius callt
forth swarms Of peevish, biting, slin giug
iuSecls, just as the sunshine awakens the
world of flies.
THERE is nothing, says Plato, so de.
lightlul as the hearing or the speaking OF
truth. For this reason, there is no con.
versation so agreeable AS that Of the man
Of integrity, who hears without any 10 d.
teniion 10 bclray. and speaks without any
intention TO deceive.
A DINNER OF fragments is often said 10
be the best dinner; SO there are few
minds but might furnish some instruction
and entertainment Of their scraps, their
odds and ends Of thought. They who
cannot weave uniform web, may at least
produce piece of patchwork Guesses
at Truth.

In httlc village in Connecticut several
years ago, thero lived ono David Barnes u
person OF all cxciablo temperament nnd
violent passions, espccially-as was orten
the case-whon under tho Influence of
strong drink. Not far from him resided old
Squire Nelson, famous. in all tho region
round about, for hi, ready wit. with which
Tow wore able to cope successfully.
Tho Squire had, at tho time of which I
write. pig of remarkable promise, which
ono day effected stolen exit from its dom
icil. and wandered about seeking what il
might dovour, till finally it happened into
Btrncs' garden. and following the Impulse
Of lis nature. it Gas Barnos himself graphic.
