Repentance without amendment is like

Every heart has its secret sorrow, which
the world knows not, and oftentimes we call
man cold when he is only sad.

If any one speak Ill of thee, consider
whether he hath truth on his side and if so,
reform thyself, that his censures may not af-

Rascalty, especially when it runs to low
cunning, is subject to fits of inexpicableI
stupidity, which generally prove fatal to it,
sooner or later.
We have been suffering in this country
from an epidemic of rascalty. Who knows
but we may be on the point of enjoying an
epidemic of justice?
A good man and wise man may ut times
be angry with the world ut times grieved
for it; but be sure no man was ever discon-

The great difficulty with the American has
been, and still is, that he has been nurtured
