~ True benevolence in
spires with the love of justice,
and prompts him in whose
bosom it glows neither to OPP
press the weak, to impose on
the ignorant, nor to oyerreach
the unwary, but to give every
man his due, and with steady
and undertaking steps to walk
in the hallowed path of equity.
Deceit and discrimination, fraud
and falsehood, are far fromthe
humble worshipper of God /;
: integrity is enthroned in his
heart, truth dwells on his lips,
and an enlightened sense of
duty regulates the whole of his
conduct. He faithfully per
forms every promise, and fulfils
every engagement. Others re-
spect and trust his word, be-
cause he respects and holds it
sacred himself. His life is char.
acterized by the simplicity Of
truth and the dignity of virtue;
and, in dealing with him, they
who have an opportunity o.
knowing his character, place
unbounded confidence in his
Justice and faithfulness.

Gems Of Thought.

The path of glory leads but
to the grave.
Industry.-Man must have
occupation or be miserable.
Wealth.-Excessive wealth
is neither glory or happiness.
A Strange Thing.-Is it not
strange that some men hate
vice and are vicious, love vir-
tue and do not follow it?
Mental Disqualification
The sadness engendered by the
overthrow of all our hopes is
a malady, and often causes
death. 1t will not be one of
the slightest occupations of our
present physiology to seek by
what ways and means a though
succeedsin producing the same
disorganization as poison.
Ignorance and Violence
There never was any sect, par
ty, faction or person in which
the most ignorant were not the
most violent.
Forming Friendships.-If {
man does not make new &C
quaintances as he advances
through life, he will soon fine
himself left alone. A MAJ
should keep his friendship il
constant repair.
The Natural Gentleman
He that can enjoy the intimac.
; of the great, and on no occa
sion disgust them by familiar
ty, or disgrace himself by SCI
Witty, proves that he is as pei
| feet a gentleman by nature a
his companions are by rank.

l The study of truth is
perpetually joined with the
sincere love of virtue; for there
is no virtue which derives not
its original from truth as on
the contrary, there is no vice
which has not it's beginning in
falsehood. Truth is the foun-
dation of all knowledge, and
the cement of all societies.

SYMPATHY.-It is sweet to
turn from the chilling and heart
less world-the world that so
often misjudges our motives
to seek in some sympathising
heart for consolation-to find
congenial souls that can feel
our sorrows, can share our joys,
can understand and appreciate
the feelings which actuate us.
In sorrow, how consoling is the
blessed voice of sympathy-in
our greatest trials it lightens
our burdens, making smoother
our pathway before us, and
pouring a healing balm into ON
wounded hearts, and our lesser
Affections are forgotten in itS
presence.

are a coward, when you insult

coward, if you know certain
things of yourself, and care not
