wisdom from Middlemarch,

Middlemarch, like all of Geo Eliott's
works, is full of brief paragraphs con-
nected with the story, yet conveying
independent lessons of truth worthy to
be remembered For example:
1--WE are not a perilous margin when
we begin to look passively at our future
selves, anhsee our own figures led with
dull consent into 'insipld misdoing and
shabby achievement
"There is a forsaking which still sits
at the same board and lies on the same
couch with the forsaken soul, withcring
itthe mere by unloving proximity"
"There are natures in which, if they
love US, We are conscious of having a
sort OF baptism and conservation they
bind ns over to rectitude and purity by
theirpufe belief about US; and our sins
become the worst kind of sacrilege
which tears down the Invisible altar of
trust.
"Who can know how much of his
most. inward life is made up of the
thoughts be believes other men to have
about him until that fabric of opinion
isthreatened with ruin?
sIn courtship everything is regarded
as provisionalFsnd preliminary, and the
smallest sampleFof virtue or accomplish
ment is taken 10 guarantee delightful
stores Which the broad leisure of mar
rfase win reveal. But the door sill OF
marriage once crossed, expectation is
concentrated on the present." a
