The knowledge of evil may help to
bod, and assist us to measure its value
very new idea should be to us a new
FATHER in wings that bear us upward.
Reason is not piece of furniture that
hn be put aside and used again. The
nan who should live ten years without
eflection would never be capable of it
gain.
All the cares of the day ought to be laid
side with our clothes. None of them
lust be carried to bed with us; and in
his respect, custom may obtain very
reat power over the thoughts. 1t is Il
destructive practice to study in bed, and
cad till one falls asleep.
Remember for what purpose you were
orn, and through the whole oflifc, look
I its end. Consider, when that comes,
p what will you put your trust. Not in
roken not in worldly pleasures-thcy
Fill be gone not in great connections
they cannot serve you not in wealth
you cannot carry it with you not in
ank-in the grave there is no distinc-
ion not in the recollection of life
pent in n giddy conformity to the silly
fashions of thOughtlcss and wicked
World but in that of a life spent sober
y, righteously and godly, in this present
World.
Do not be discouraged if occasionally
FOu slip down by the way, and others
read over you little. In other words,
10 not let q failure or two dishearten
ions will sometimes be made, things
will turn out differently from our expec-
ations, and we may be sufferers. 1t is
worth while to remember that fortune is
ike the skies in the month of April,
|ometimes cloudy, and sometimes clear
md favorable and as it would be folly
O despair again in seeing the sun, be-
fause to-day is stormy, so is it unwise
o sink into dependency when fortune
rOwns, since, in the common course
Pf things, she may be expected to smile
kgain.
Vice repeated is like the wandering
wind,
Blows dust in others eyes.
Shakespeare.
Vice stings us, even in the pleasure,
put virtue consoles us, even in our pains.
Clinton.
In actions Of life, who sceth not the
ilthiness of evil, wanteth great foil to
perceive the beauty of virtue.-Sir u.
Sydney.
Vice lisa monster of 30 faithful mien,
AS to be hated needs but to be seen
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face
We first endure, then pity, then embrace
Pope
We do not despise all those who have
vices, but we despise all those who have
not single virtue. - La ROchefou
cduid.
Think'st thou there is 70 tyranny but that
Of blood and chains The despotism o. vice
The weakness and the wickedness of luxury
The negligcnce-thc apathy--thc evils
or sensual sloth-produce ten thousand tyrants
Whose delegated cruelty surpasses
The worst acts of one energetic master,
However harsh and hard in his own bearing
Byron.

COME ONE! COME ALL BOTH WHITE AND BLACK
AS the infamous lie is in circulatio
that the meats for cOlOred persons wi
be poisoned, we nail that Radical trio
to the counter by offering choice of Il
btes to our cOlOred friends, or we will d
vide places with them.

Surely the "colored friends" cou
not refuse so generous an Invitation
Probably they came; most likely the
listened; without doubt they ate. b
they have yet to vOte.--NeW York r.,
