BATIRR is q sort of glass wherein be-
holders generally discover everybody's face
bpt their own which is the chief reason
Tor that kind Of reception it meets In the
World, and that so very few are offended
with Il
COMMON SKNsR.-Fine sense and exalted
n are not half so valuable as common
sense. There are forty men Of wit for one
man Of sense; and he that will carry moth
ng about him but gold, will be ever day at
) loss for want of reader change.
MKMoRY.-There is an inexpressible
charm to care-worn age in the hope
which can never more be its own, and
the Illusions which can never again lend
D grace to the beaten path of existence.
u Is memory that makes the old indulgent
TO the young.
BAcRIYIcEs.-Even the most refined and
polished Of men seldom conceal any Of the
sacrifices they make, or what 1t costs them
10 make them. This Is reserved for
women, and Is one Of the many proofs
they give Of their superiority in all mat
ters Of affection and delicacy. =
ExEnrIos and enjoyment are the two ap-
pointed conditions of mortal existence.
Either, without the other, is dead, and
alone. All work and no play is mere
misery. All play n no work is also mis-

also contemplate besides.
Mxs viii improve themselves, If the
circumstances in which they are placed
furnish o stimulus to that Improvement.
They will also acquire wealth, II their in
dustry be rewarded, and its fruits enjoyed;
and, generally speaking, they will be-
come Intelligent and virtuous, if the
means Of obtaining knowledge be fairly
within their power.
THOUGHTS ON GoLp.-It is to solace the
wants, and not to nourish the passions of
pen. In this view it WAS originally
brought from the mines, purified, struck,
And stamped. He h expends it properly
is Its master; he who lays it up, its keep
or he who loves it, q fool; he who fears
II, a slave he who adores it, an idolater.
The truly wise man is he who despises it.
FAMILY MATERIALS not DESTROYS of
scenes of grandeur, of heightened pleasure
and diversions it is the sure way to take
your heart off from your private station
and way of life and to make you uneasy
and unhappy. 1t is a thousand TO one
but If you were to get into q higher stn-
ton, you would ind it awkward and I'M
suitable to you, and that you would only
want to return again to your former happy
Independence.
WORTH OF A SMILE.-A woman mas be
OF great assistance to her husband in bust
ness, by wearing q cheerful smile c~ontinu-
ally upon her countenance. A mans per-
ple1ities and gloominess are increased a
hundred fold when his better half moves
about with a continual scowl upon her
brow. A pleasant, cheerful wife is q
rainbow set in the sky, when her hus'
bands mind is tossed with storms and
tempest; but a dissatisfied and fretful wife
in the hour of trouble is like one of those
fends appointed to torture lost spirits.
FRuIrs OF VIRTUE.-If You should see
q man digging in a snowdrift with the ex.
pectatiop of finding valuable ore, or plant.
ing seeds upon rolling pillows, you would
say at once That he was beside himself.
But in What respect does this man differ
from you, while you SOW the seeds of idle,
ness and dissipation in your youth, and ex'
pect the fruits of age will be a good consti.
tuition, elevated affections and holy prin
ciples! If you desire q ~virtuous and happ,
life, in youth You must plant in YOU
bosom the seeds of virtue.
