Wealth., and power, and prosperity, are
peculiarly transitory and uncertain.
1t is so natural to find fault, that it is a
wonder we are ever suited.
The grave is the solemn chamber of in
itiation into the great secret of eternity,
God hates sin everywhere, but especially

sin without correction.
-Selfishness is it's own curse, it is a stary-
ing vice.
Let the hopes o mercy encourage you to
the exercise of repentance.
If a christians cross is heavy he has not
to carry it far, as there is one ever willing to
take the heavier end.
The grand essentials to human happinss
are, something odo, something to hope for,
and something to love.
Honesty and happiness seem to be alike
in this particular-those who have the most

Never seem wiser or more learned than
the people you are with. Wear your learn
ING, like your watch, ina private pocket, and
bring it on when called for.
-Eminence is not to be reached by a fran

God is pleased with no music below so
much as i'll the Thanksgiving songs of re-

the spies from Canaan, are the prelibations
and anticipations of our happiness, yet its

DO not regard religion as something
septichral, something awful, something that
makes the countenance clothe itself in
gloom, as fit to be associated only with sick
