Words of wisdom.

How easy 1t is to be amiabe in the midst

chine.
How can a man learn to know himself
BY observation, never but by action. En-
deavor to do thy duty and thou shalt know
what is within thee.
Every good picture is the best of sermons
and lectures. The sense informs the soul
Whatever you have, have beauty. Sidney
Smith.
The world is to me what beautiful and
dumb woman would be can see the fair
features, but there is not language to send
forth and impart to me the element of soul

Those who from the desire OF our per-
fection, have the koencst eye for our faults,
generally compensate for it by taking a
higher view of our merits than we deserve.
J. f. Boyes.
Courage and modesty are the most UNI
cquivocal of virtues, for they are of kind
that hypocrisy cannot initiate they, too,
have this quality in common, that they are
expressed by the same color. Goethe
To assign feeling and determination
of will, as a satisfactory reason for em-
bracing or rejecting this or that opinion or
belief, is of ordinary occurrence, and sure
to obtain the sympathy and the suilrages
of the company. And yet to me this
seems little less irrational than to apply the
nose to a picture and to decide on its genui-
neness by the sense of smell. j. r. Col
cridge.
The laws of nature are just, but terrible.
There is no weak mercy in them. Cause
and consequence are inseparable and in
evitable. The elements have no forebear-
ance. The fire burns, the water browns,
the air consumes the earth buries And
perhaps it would be well for our race if the
punishment of our crimes against the laws
of men were as inevitable as the punish
ment of crimes against the laws of nature
were man as unerrng in his judgment as
nature. LLongfellow,
Time divides itself into these three con-
| yesterday, to-day, and tomorrow,
each grand, and each peculiar-and each
measurelcss. The divinity that presides
over tomorrow is called Hope; the present
has no guardian by name and the divinity
of yesterday is called Memory. There is
no eloquencc, no poetry, no process of
reasoning that can do justice to the beauty
and eloquence of any one of these periods.
Looking backward and forward the heart
becomes overwhelmed with the weight and
mystery of the theme.

My own invention or imagination, such
as it is, can most truthfully assure you,
would never have served me as it has but
for the habit of commonplace, humble,
patient, daily, toiling, drudgng attention.
The one serviceabe safe, certain, remuncr-
alive, attainable quality in every state and
