TIME, patience and industry are the three
great masters of the world.
IT IS for young men to gather knowledge.
and old men to use it.
USE law and physic only in case of neces-
sity.
SERVE God on earth, and thy reckoning
shall be good in heaven.
NONE 50 thoroughly over estimate as those
who over estimate themselves.
He THAT would pass the latter part of his
life honored and respected, must when he ia
young, consider that he will one day be old.
and remember when he is old, that he has
once been young.
Q little virtue would be practiced if
beneticence were to wait always for the
most proper object and the noblest occasions
occasions that may never occur, and OBJ
iects that may never be found.
10 TELL our own secrets is generally
folly, but that folly is without guilt to COM
municate those with which we are entrusted
is always treachery.
SUSPICION is no less an enemy to virtue
than to happiness. He that is already cor,
rupt is naturally suspicious, and he that be-
comes suspicious will quickly grow corrupt.
MANY men mistake the love for the prac-
tice of virtue, and are not so much good men
as the friends Of goodness.
SUCCESS and miscarriage have the same
effect in all conditions. The prosperous are
faara1 hotaI on1 HottnroI owl ~ ..r..L-
nate, avoided and despiscd.
To DREAD no eye and to suspect no tongue
is the greatest prerogative of innocence, an
exemption granted only to truth and virtue.
INVENTION furnishes art with her mate
rails; without it Judgment itself can but
steal wisely.
GENIoUs is the gift of the Deity it dis
covers itself without effort and is unknown
to the possessor.
Crafty men contemn studies, simple men
admire them, but wise men use them.
To cLoTHE the naked and feed the hungry
is good; to teach men how to provide for
themselves is much better.
He ALONE appears to me to live and en-
joy life who seeks after reputation by some
famous action or some useful art.-Sullust.
Do NOT always hover on the surface Of
things, nor take up suddenly with false APP
pearances; but penetrate into the depths of
matters so far as time and circumstances
allow, especially as to those things which
relate to your profession.
THE ruins of old friendship are a more
melancholy spectacle than those of desolate
palaces. They exhibit the hearth that was
once lighted up with joy, all damp and de-
serted, and haunted by those birds Of i'll
omen that only nestled in ruins.
BY FIVE qualities may a fool be known:
Anger without cause; speech without mo-
tive; inquiry without an object; putting
trust in a stranger and wanting c~apability
to discriminate between a friend and a foe.
COP does notplcmise that he viii improve
our nature, or that he will mend our broken
hearts. No; the promise is, that he will
give us new hearts and right spirits. HUI
man nature is TOO far gone ever to be mend
ed. It is not a house which is a little out Of
repair, with here and there a slate blown
from the roof, and here and there a piece of
plaster broken down from the ceiling. No;
it is rotten throughout; the every foundations
have been sapped; there is not a single TIM
Der in it which is sound; it is all r~ottenness
from its uppesrnost roof to it's lowest foun-
dation, and ready to fall. The Lord, there
fore, does not attempt the repairing Of this
