Gems Of Thought.

The glory of great men ought al
ways to be rated according to the
means used to acquire it.
Avoid tedious circumlocution in
language. Words, like cannon balls,
should go straight to their mark.
Our own hands are heavens favor
lite instruments for supplying us with
the necessaries and luxuries of life.
We should enjoy our fortune as we
do our health-enjoy it when good,
be patient when it is bad, and never
apply violent remedies except in an
extreme necessity.
To my inward vision. things are achieved when
they well begun
The perfect archer calls the deer his own while yet
the shaft is whistling
The Spanish Gypsy.
There is this difference between
hatred and pity: Pity is a thing
often avoided, but seldom felt; ha-
tired is a thing often felt, but seldom
avoided.
Anxiety is the poison of life; the
parent Of many sins, and Of more
miseries. Why, then, allow it, when
we know that all the future is guided
by Fathers hand?-Bldir.
Time Will leave all things right,
O, wait while,
Morning always follows night,
Then wait while,
Why Respondent, weary MORTAL
When perhaps you're near joys portal,
Wait, q, wait while.
Man doubles all evil of his fate by
meditating upon them. A scratch
becomes wound, a slight becomes
an injury, a jest becomes an insult, a
small peril a great danger, and
slight sickness often ends in death
by brooding apprehensions.
He who will do his work Alright will
find that his first lesson is to know
himself, and what is proper for him;
and he who rightly understands him
self will never mistake another mans
work for his own, but will love and
improve himself above all other
things.
Leave the future ; let it rest
Simply on the Savor's will
Leave the future they are best,
Who coniding, hoping still,
Trust His mercy
To provide for every want,
And Ia save from every i'll.
Choose ever the plainest road; it
always answers best. For the same
reason choose ever TO do and try
what is the most just, and the most
direct. This one conduct will save
a thousand bushes, and a thousand
struggles, and will deliyer you from
secret torments which are the never
failing attendants of dissolution.
Doth each day, upon its wing,
Its allotted burden bring-
Load it not beside with aorrow,
Which may never come to morrow,
One thing only claims thy care;
Seek 1t first in faith and prayer;
All thou mayest need beside,
lie thou trusted will provide.
You can train the eye to see all the
bright places in life, and so slip over
the hard ones with surprising ease.
You can also train the eye to rest on
the gloomy spots. in utter forgetful-
ness Of all that is bright and beauti-
full. The former is the best educa-
ton. Life is too short to nurse ones
misery. Hurry across the low-lands
that you may linger longer on the
mountain-tops.
Danish all malignant and revenge
full thoughts. A spirit of revengei is a
spirit OF the devil. than which moth
ing makes man more like him, and
nothing can be more like him, and
nothing more opposite to the temper
which Christianity designs to pro-
mote. II your revenge be not salts
fled it will give you torment now; il
it will give you greater hereafter.
None is greater self-torment than a
malicious and revengeful man, who
turns the poison Of his own temper
upon himself.
