WORDS OF WISDOM.

Ennni is the ghost of murdered
time.
The truth of a reproach is the sting
of it.
Alexander being asked how he con-
quered the world, replied, by not de-
laying"
Let amusement fill up the chinks of
your existence, but not the great spaces
thereof.
Virtue requires nc other recompense
than the tribute of self-approbation and
respect.
There are some human tongues which
have two sides, like that Of certain
q~uadrupeds, one smooth, and the other
rough.
The old lady who believes every Gu
lamity that happens 10 herself II trial,
and every one that happens to her
friends IL judgment, is not dead yet.
1t is not until the flower has fallen off
that the fruit begins to ripen. So in life,
it is when the romance is past that the
practical usefulness begins.
l don't like to talk much with peo-
pie who always agree with me. 1t is
amusing 10 coquette with an echo II
little while, but one loon tires of it.
A man often needs his anger-as well
as his other passions-to blast away the
obstacles in his path; but the indiscrim-
mate use of his nitro-glycerine is dan
gerous and destructive.
Amusements are an accurate index
of the national stamina, and the frivo-
lous, licentious amusements now so
common, indicate that the American is
undergoing an enervating, debauching
process, rs the cruel gladiatorial amuse-
ments of the Roman indicated that he
underwent a hardening, brutalizing
process. And it is difficult to say which
is worst, in the sweep of years, and
with reference to the perpetuity of So
ciety-this modern softening of the
brain, or that ancient Justification of the
heart.
