There is a time when thou mayesi
say nothing, and a time when thou may.
est say something; but there will never
be time when thou shouldest say all
things.
1t is not until the flower has fallen
off that the fruit begins to ripen. So, in
life, it is when the romance has passed
that the practical usefulness begins.
Have You learned to know you are
ignorant2 This is Gods way of making
wise, he bids you ask wisdom, and prom.
ises to give.
The highest flames are the most
tremulous and so the most holy and en-
inent christians are more full of rever-
ence, and modesty, and humility.
To enrich the mind and purify the
heart, to keep the tongue still and the arm
active, to eat slowly and sleep quietly
this is true philosophy.
Envy, if surrounded on all sides by
the brightness of another's prosperity,
like the scorpion, confined within circle
of fire, will sting itself to death.
Pardon is glorious kind of revenge
/ think myself sufficiently revenged OF
my enemy if | pardon him. Cicero did
more commend Cesar for pardoning Me-
tullas than for the great victory he OBJ
tanned over his enemy.
A saint is not free from sin that is
his burden a saint is not free to sin
that is his blessing. Sin is in him; that
is his lamentation; his heart is not in sin,
that is his consolation.
Every man has three characters one
which is given of him by his friends, one
which is given of him by his enemies, and
one which he really is
Enjoy the blessings of the day, and
the evils bear patiently and sweetly For
this day only is ours; we are dead to
yesterday, and we are not born to to-
morrow.
If we would have powerful minds, we
must think; if we would have faithful
hearts, we must love: if we would have
strong muscles, we must labor. These
include all that is valuable in life.
Music is glorious thing; it is an in
toxication, an enchantment, world in
of painful delight, incomprehensible and
With Paul Rochester would | say, Away
away! thou speakest to me of things
which in all my endless life | have not
found, and shall not find.
''You are made to be kind, generous
and magnanimou.," says Horace Mann,
'If there's boy in school who has a club
foot, don't let him know that you ever
saw it. Ii there's a boy in school with
ragged clothes, don't talk of rags in his
presence. If there's lame boy in school,
assign him some place in the play which
does not require much running. If there
is a dull one, help him to get his lessons.
Let all men avoid rash speaking.
They that speak without care often re-
member their own words afterwards with
sorrow. Those that expect peace and
safety are to restrain their tongues with a
bride.
Argue not with man whom you
know to be of an obstinate temper, for
when he is once contradicted, his mind is
barred up against all light and informa-
ton Arguments, though never so well
grounded, do but provoke him and make
him even afraid to be convinced of the
truth
A man that is temperate, generous,
valiant, chaste, faithful and honest, may,
at the same time, have mirth, wit, humor,
good breeding and gallantry. While he
exerts these latter qualities, twenty oc-
casions might be invented to show he is
master of the other noble virtues.-,Steele.
Vain glorious Man, when buttering wind does
blow
In his light winges is lifted up to skye;
The scorn OF knighthood and trew Chevalrye,
To thinke, without desert OF gentle deed,
And noble worth, TO be advanced hye,
Such praise is shame; but honour, veItue's
need,

Let business yex him, avarice blind
Let doubt and knowledge rack his mind,
Let error act, opinion speak,
And want atiiict, and sickness break,
And anger burn, detection chill,
And Joy distract, and sorrow Kill,
Till arm'd by care, and taught to NOV,
Time draws the long destruc i've bow.

See him from Nature rising slow to art
To copy instinct then reasons part:
Thus then to man the voice of Nature spake-
Go, from the creatures thy instruction take:

Learn from the beasts the physics OF the field
Thy arts OF building from the bee receive;
Learn of the mole TO plough, the worm to weave
Learn of the little nautilus TO sail,
Spread the thin oar, and catch the driving gale.
Pope.
When God in his eternal council con-
ceived the thought of mans creation, he
called to him the three ministers waiting
constantly upon his throne-J ustice, Truth
and Mercy, and thus addressed them
"Shall we make man." Then said JUS
tice, 80 God, make him not, for he will
trample upon thy laws" Truth made an
swer also 80 God, make him not, for he
will pollute Thy sanctuaries." But Mercy,
dropping upon her knees, and looking up
| through her tears, exclaimed: 80 God,
make him will watch over him with
all my care through all the dark paths
through which he may have to tread p
Then God made man, and said to him, so
man, thou art the child of Mercy-go
deal with thy brothers"
SUBSTITUTE FOR CREAM IN COFFEE
Beat the white Of an egg to froth
put to it small lump of butter, and turn
the coffee to it gradually, so that it may
not curdle. It is difficult to distinguish
the taste from fresh cream.
