What matters it if one has no gold in his
purse, if he has it in his heart?
The way to escape fall is to fear ones
own weakness, and not go too fast
In trouble we often come off better than we
expect, and always better than 1--WE deserve.
If a man cannot find ease within himself, it
is to little purpose to seek it anywhere else.
Heart-troubles in Gods husbandry, are not
wounds, but the putting in of the spade be-
fore the planting of seeds.
Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than
happiness ever can as common sufferings are
far stronger links than comm on joys.
"My lord, said the foreman Of Welch ju-
ry, when giving in the verdict, 1--WE find the
man who stole the mare not guilty"
Good is stronger than evil A single really
good man in an ill place, is like little yeast
in gallon of dough ; it can leaven the mass
A woman with more heart than BRAIN more
soul than intellect, more emotion than imagi-
nation. with an agreeable share of health and
beauty, is the rose without the thorn"
An old topper was heard the other day to ad-
wise young man to get married, because
then, my boy, you'll have somebody to pull
off your boots when you go home drunk

An Irishman, writing from Philadelphia
the other day to his friend in the old country
concludes letter thus:
"lf liver it's me fortune to live till [ dy-

that's all ma.
The most successful dramas Of the present
day are those which address the eye rather
than the intellect. A pretty leg draws better
thana well-portrayed character, and the necks
and shoulders of ballet fill house when the
genius Of Shakespeare falls upon empty seats.
Facts are facts, though not always creditable
to taste or character
