WISE SAYINGS.

TRUTH is as impossible to be soiled by
any outward touch as the sunbeam.--
Milton.
THE ruin of some men dates from some
idle hour Occupation is an armor to the
soul.
GREAT men and great institutions may
be beyond the most Of us, but great actions
are for us all.
BETTER than fame is still the wish for
fame, the constant trainings for glorious
strife.-BuZa0er.
No MAN ever did a designed injury to
another without doing a greater to him
self-Henry Home.
BY taking revenge, man is but even
with his enemy but in passing it over he
is superior-LOrd Bacon.
THE good wear their years as a crown
of glory upon their heads; the bad, as a
heavy burden upon their back.
THE real wants of nature are the meas
use of enjoyments, as the foot is the meas
ure of the shoe. We can call only the

THE most beautiful birth was the birth
in the manger; the loveliest life was the
life of sorrows; and the most beautiful,

A BIRD upon the wing may carry SEED
that shall add anew species to the vegetable
family of continent; and just so, aword,
a thought, from flying soul, may have
results immeasurable, eternal.
IT is a remarkable fact, that one who
loves his mother, who honors that moth
er's memory, is never a bad man, she is
never bad woman. Tell me how a
young woman treats her mother, and will
tell you what her general character is Tell
me how young man treats his mother,
and | will tell you what his future pros
poets are for time and eternity.
You come to an empty birds nest, and
pick up the down that clings to it, or a
stray plume that dropped, but, finding no
other trace of the birding, you say, it has
flown away. And you come to child's
empty cradle, or a household tree that
stands grim and bare now, or shudders
and means in the breeze; and you say,
that bird has learned 10 ny IL VanlShes
from its nest just as it was plumed OF
wing and clear of note. .s.s..
THERE is many and many candle that
will burn discreetly in room where the
air is still, which if you take it into the
wind, flares and flutters and burns every
way but the right way; and there are
Christians that are able to have the pure
flames of Christian life burn steadily, if
you only shield them, but that, if you
| move them about and bring them in con
| f1ict with each other in circumstances OF
| temptation, show their weakness OF
Christian feeling, bee
|. PHILOSOPHERS tell us that every uttered
word produces vibration in the atmos
phere; an ingenious theory has therefore
| been broached that these vibrations never
entirely cease! If this were true, we
should still be moving among the inaudi
BILE words of our progenitors. This seems
fanciful in natural philosophy; but there
is a sense in which every uttered word
lives for ever. 1t lives in its influence on
the speaker--in its influence on others
Paul's voice echoes still millions of Gods
faithful messengers, being dead, ye
speak! @.s .-a8 s 4sa
