GOLDEN SHEAVES.

The fool derideth another's deformity.
HOPE, though valuable, is not ALWAYS a
sure antidote to misfortune.
A GOOD conscience seats the mind on a
rich throne of lasting quiet.
FEAR is implanted in us as a preseryer
from evil.
The violation of truth is an Infamous
crime.
THE palmer the dress, the greater lustre
hath beauty.
VIRTUE is the greatest ornament, and good
sense the best equipage.
In YOUR worst estate, hope; in your best
estate, fear; in every estate be circumspect.
KNOW OF but two beautiful things: the
starry heavens above my head, and the sense
Of duty within my heart.-Kant.
They who are most weary of life. and vet
are most unwilling to die, are such as have
lived to no purpose-who have rather breath
ed than lived.
1T is never too late with us so long as we
are still aware of our faults and bear them
impatiently-so long as aspirations eager for
conquest stir within us.
LET the fire be always burning brightly
and ardently on your own altar, wherever it
may blaze OF blink besides.
In H christian race, all patient runners
win, and in the christian battle, all who en-
dure to the end are victors.
He THAT has tasted the bitterness Of evil
fears to- commit it and he that hath felt the
sweetness Of mercy will fear to offend it.
EVERY day brings its own duties and car
ries them along with it; and they are as
waves broken IN the shore, many like them
coming after.
The study of literature nourishes youth,
entertains old age, adorns prosperity, solaces
adversely, is delightful at home and unob-
trusiye abroad.
Trials teach us what we are !; they dig up
the soil, and let us see what we are made Of;
they just turn up some of the i'll weeds on
to the surface.
AvoID gaming, for among many other
evils which attend it are these: Loss of
time; loss Of reputation; loss of health
loss Of fortune; loss of temper; ruin Of
families; d%efrauding Of creditors and what
is frequently the effect of it, the loss of life
both temporal and eternal.
RUE friendship keeps no ~profit-and-loss
account, posts 10 ledgers, strikes no daily
balances, but takes gratitude for granted,
and regards affection as always solvent. 1t
has no clearinghouse, gives no notes of hand,
carries on no brokerage of attachment, makes
no bargains in this of the affec-
tons. With it 'syours truly goes a great
was, and certainly, worn threadbare as they
are by incessant use, no words have q stonter
body of significance left in them.-New York
Tribune.
SUBLIMER in this world / know of nothing
than a peasant saint, could such now any
where be met with. Such a one will take
thee back to Nazareth itself thou wilt see
the splendor of heaven spring forth from
the humblest depths of the earth, like a light
shining in great darkness. It is not because
Of his tolls that / lament for the poor. We
must all toll or steal, (hoWsoever we name
our stealing) which is worse. No faithful
workman finds his task a pastime. The
poor are hungry and athirst; but for him
also there is food and drink; he is heavy
laden and weary, but for him also the heav-
