He who sees his heir in his own child,
carries his eve over hopes and possess
ions lying far. beyond his grave-stone,
viewing his life even here, as period but

Humility mainly becometh the con-

Heroism is no extempore work of
transient impnlse--a rocket rushing
ffetfqllyiup to disturb the darkness by
which, after moments insulting ra-
dance, it is ruthlessly swallowed up
but steady fire which darts forth
tongues of ,aames. It is no sparkling
epigfain Of action, but luminous epic
of character. Whipple.
Hypocrisy itself does great honor, or
rather justice, to religion, and tacitly ac-
knowledges it to be an ornament to hu
man nature. The hypocrite would not
be at so much pains to. put on the ap-
pearance of virtue if he did not know it
was the nos: proper and effectual means
Of gaining the love and esteem OF man
kind.-As5dSsom Il &c .sie ssr.5A
Avoid Mteness,. and fll up all the
space of thy time with severe and use
ful employment, for lust easily creeps-
IN at those emptinesses where the soul
is unemployed and the body is at ease,
for no easy, healthful, idle person was
ever vchaste if he could be tempted; but
of an employments bodily labor is the
most useful, and of the most benefit for
driving away the evil Jeremy Taylor.
We think there is shame in doubt and
ignorance, and we like better to decide
at hazard than to be conscious that we
are not informed enough of things to
give Judgment. We are full of igno.
rance and ergors; and nevertheless We
ere at the greatest trouble in the world
to. draw from the lips of men this con-
fession 80 just and conformabIe TO their
natutai ceRditien: 81 am mistaken. and
know nothing. g.'-Nicole.
Impatience is the principal cause of
most of our irregularities and extrava-
gances. I would sometimes have paid
q guinea to be at some particular ball or
assembly, and something has prevented
my going there. After it was over /
would not give shilling to have been
there. / would pay crown at any
time for q venison ordinary. But after
having dined on beef or mutton, / would
not give penny to have had it venison.

When the stiaened body. goes down
to the tomb, sad, silent and remotseless,
feel there is no death for the man,
That clod which yonder dust shall cover
is not my brother. The dust goes to its
place, man to his own. 1t is then ! feel
my immortslity. 1 look through the
grave into heaven l ask no miracle, no
proof, no reasoning for me- l. ask No
risen dust to teach me immortality.
am conscious of eternal life-Parkcr.
The common fuency of speech in ma
ny men, and most women, is owing 10 a
scarcity OF matter and scarcity of words,
for whoever is master Of language, and
has mind full of ideas, will be apt, in
speaking, to hesitate upon the choice of
both; whereas, common speakers have
ore set.oi ideas, and one set of words to
clothe them in, and these are always
ready at the mouth $50. people come fast
er out ofa church when it is nearly emp
ty than when there is q crowd at the
door-SUin.
