by the success which attended the testimonial

The play was admirably CAST every character
being well represented-Mr. Br0ugham a. Sir
Harcourt Courtly ana Edwin Adams as Charles, Mr..
Lamb as Needle ana Mrs. Conway as Lady Gay were
the prominent figures In the play and from time to

Men are grateful in the same degree
that they are resentful.
To be angry is to revenge the faults
of others on ourselves.
A man of business may talk of phil
osophy; man who has none may
practice it.
The vanity of human life is like a
river. constantly passing away, and
yet constantly coming on.
Whoever has fattered bis friend sue
cessfully must at once think himself a
knave and his friend fool.
The character in conversation which
commonly passes for agreeable is made
up of civility and falsehood.
Our passions are like convulsion
fits, which. though they make us
stronger for the time, leave us the
weaker ever after.
Dupes. indeed, are many; but, of all
dupes, there is none SO fatally situated
as he who lives in undue terror of be-
ing duped.
Those people only will constantly
trouble you with doing little offices for
them who least deserve you should do
them any.
1t is impossible that an ill-natured
man can have public spirit, for how
should he love ten thousand men who
never loved one?
When two people compliment each
other with the choice of anything,
each of them generally gets that which
he likes least.
To neglect at any time preparation for
death is to sleep on our post at siege.
