Thoughts of Jubert.

[Born in 1854, and who never published
book.
Wisdom is repose in light. Happy
the mind that scars high enough to
sport in its beams.
Consult the ancients, listen to the
aged. He is not wise who has only
his own wisdom, and little learned is he
who has only his own learning.
Imagination and wisdom combined
are the chat of life and art.
Wisdom Is the strength of the weak
Good sense accommodates itself to
he world; wisdom cndeavors to con
orm itself to heaven.
Never cut what you can unite.
Virtue is the health OF the soul. 1t
ives relish to the smallest leaves of
tie.
His own virtue and the happiness Of
'thers, is the twofold end Of man on
arth. His happiness is his supreme
estimation; but it Is not what be
houid seek, 1t is only what he may
xpcct and obtain if be is worthy Of it.
Virtue by calculation is the virtue Of
vice.
We are not innocent when VIC do
harm to ourselves.
We should do everything to lot good
people have their will.
Everything can be learned; even
virtue.
Morality is the knowledge of those
rules to which it is of moment to us to
conform, not only in our actions, hut
also our affections. These are so i'm
portant portion Of our mode OF be-
ing that am astonished that no phi
losopher has embraced them within the
definition of the essential object Of
morality. In fact, our affections are
to our actions what ideas are to words.
The essential test in morals, as in log
ic, Is that the former be good.
Morality must have sky, as picture
air.
Tue morality of some people is in
remnants-enough to make coat.
Morality is a curb, not spur.
Without a model, and without an
ideal model, none can do we'll.
A rule of conscience for ones self,
code of morals for ones self, a relig-
ion for ones self! BY their nature,
these things cannot be private.
A maxim is the exact and noble ex
preston of an important and indispu-
table truth. Sound maxims are all
germs of good: strongly imprinted in
the memory to nourish the will.
TO think what we do not feel is to
lie to ourselves. Whatever we think,
we should think with our whole being,
will and body.

A BAFFLED SCHEME.
fBY GUY AvENEL yoREsTER.l

Harold Montgomerie stood befor,
Helen St. Orme one bright day in early
spring, and told her, in tremulous &C.
cents the story Of his love.
Calmly the beautiful girl listened
and when he had finished, told him
that what he wished could never be.
A wild despair settled in his dark,
hazel eyes.
20, Helen, Helen!' he exclaimed,
his voice qulvering in the intensity Of
his emotion. You surely will not re.
fuse me thus. 1t would be the death
blow to all my hopes. You may i'm
agine that my love is not strong
enough. know my words-and any
words--are powerless to tell you the
passion, The devouring passion that
feeds upon my heart. But, Helen, Il

MILLER-In Juniata township, July 25th.,
1870, Mr.. Edward Wesly Miller, aged years,
10 months and days.
He died in peace.
And now, beloved brother, farewell! Thy
warfare is accomplished. Thy tears are all
wiped away. Thou hast landed where "the
wicked cease from troubling, and the weary
are at rest" We rejoice that no man took thy
crown. We rejoice that after thy work was
done, thou vast permitted in thine own quiet
home to meet the last enemy. Thy dying pill
low was not perpeXed by those anxious for
bodings that have tried the faith of so many.
The wife Of thy youth is following hard after
thee; and thy brothers and sisters, we trust,
are resolving at thy hallowed grave, that she
shall not travel alone, but that they will jour-
ney with her. And we who are left behind are
looking after thee, saying:
"Our separation is only temporary. A time
of re-uuion is fastening on. Farewell Fare
well We shall soon meet thee in that world
where the voice of mourning is heard no more
forever"
