Persons often lack courage to appear
as good as they really are.
II is well to be man among men, and
not dreamer among shadows,
Talent and virtue are less frequently
hereditary than the gout
There are many graceless preachers on
grace, many uncharitable ones on charity
Independence in thought and action is
a luxury far beyond the reach Of poor
folks.
Praises Of the unworthy are felt by ar,
dent minds as robheries of the deserving
1t is a good thing to possess genius
but generally a bad thing to be possessed
| by it.
Fools line the hedges along the road o
life; let the wise man pass with a smil,
and tear,
The most miserable petilogging in tn,
world is that OF a man in the court of hi
own conscience.
Men and actions, like objects of sight
have their points of pcrsp spective som
must be seen at distance.
: WE are told to have hope and trust
, but what's poor fellow to do when h
can no longer get any trust?

WoNDERs or THE HEAvENs.-Jo ohm
llerschel, in his essay on the power of
the telescope to penetrate into space, says
there are stars infinitely remote to be found
at the distance of twelve millions of mil
lions of miles from our earth so that
light, which travels with the velocity of
twelve millions of miles in minute,
would require two millions Of years for
its transit from those distant orbs to our
own; while the astronomer, who should
record the aspect Of mutations of such n
star, would be relating, not its history at
the present day, but that which took
place two millions Of years gone by.
