melodious, SO tender, and touching in the
evening Of age.
II you wish to live The life Of a man, and not
of fungus, be social, be brotherly, be charita-
bic, be sympathetic, aud labor earnestly for
the good Of your kind.
The man who cares for nobody. aud for
whom nobody cares, has nothing to live for
tha, will pay for keeping Of soul aud body
together
Innocence is a flower which withcrs when
touched, bu, blooms no. again. though water

Passion gets less and less powerful after
every defeat. Husband energy for real de-
mands which tie dangers Of life make upon it,
Permanent rest is not expected on the road,
but at the end Of tue journey.
Tic good mans life. like the mountain top,
looks beautiful because it is near Heaven.
Better be upright with poverty. than un-
phncpled with plenty.
Remember that every person, however low,
