TRUTHS AND TRIPLES.

The part of an unwelcome guest to
play is depart.
A HoLYoKE man had his revenge on an

allnight serenade.
IT is suggested that if some folks desire

THOUGH we seem grieved at the
shortness of life in general, we are wish
ing every period of it at an end. The

Beautiful pup, you win be bologna
PoLITENEss," says Witherspoon, "is
real kindness kindly expressed" an ad-
mirabie definition, and so brief that all
may easily remember it. This is the
sum and substance of all true politeness.

RELIGION does what philosophy could
never do; it shows the equal dealings Of
heaven to the happy and the unhappy,
and levels all human enjoyments to
nearly the same standard. 1t gives to
the rich and poor the same happiness
hereafter, and equal hopes to aspire after
it.
EDUCATION is either from nature,
from man or from things; the develop
ing of our faculties and organs is the
education of nature; that of man is the
application we learn to make of this
very developing; and that of things is
the experience we acquire in regard to
the different objects by which we are af-
fected. All that we have not at our
birth, and that we stand in need of at
the years of maturity, is the gift of edu-
cation.
HERE are the eight lines which have
made Burdillon, the Oxford graduate,
famous:

The day has one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.

And the heart but one;
Yet the light OF whole life dies,
When day is done
RECREATION does not mean idleness,
and il may mean labor. A wise man
will so arrange his labors that each sue

follow mental, and then give place to it
again. A man equally wise in all other
hygienic measures, who could nicely ad-
Just the labors of mind and body in their
true proportions, might hope to attain
old age with all his mental faculties fresh
and vigorous to the last.
