LEARN ALL You CAN.-Never omit
any opportunity to learn all you can.
Sir Walter Scott said that even in II
stage coach ho always could find
somebody who could tell him some.
thing he did not know before. Con.
versation is frequently more useful
than books for purpose of knowledge
1t is therefore, mistake to be morose
and silent among persons whom we
think 10 be ignorant, for little
soeiatiiity on your part will draw
them out, and they will be able TO
teach you something, no matter how
ordinary their employment. Indeed
some of the most sagacious remarks
are made by persons of this kind,
respecting their particular pursuits
Hugh Miller, the geologist, owes not
little Of his fame to observations
made when he was journeyman stone
mason at work in quarry. Socrates
well said there is but one good, which
is knowledge, and one evil, which is
ignorance Every grain of sand goes
to make up the heap. A gold digger
takes the smallest nuggets, ind is not
foolish enough to throw them away
because be hopes to find larger lump
some time. So, in acquiring knowl-
edge, we should never dcspise an
opportunity. however unpromising.-
If there is a moments leisure, spend
it over good and instructive talking
with the first person you meet.
