Society and Solitude.

Schopenhauer.
The more a mar has in himself,
the less he needs of others and the
less they can teach him. The su.
premacy Of intelligence leads to
unsociableness. Aye; could the
quality of society be compensated
by quantity it might be worth
while to live in the world! IN
fortunately we find, on the contra
ry, IA hundred fools in the crowd to
one man of understanding. The
~braiuless, on the other hand, will
seek cOmpaniOnship and pastime at
any price. For, in solitude, when
all of us are thrown upon our own
resources, what he has in himself
will be made manifest. Then signs
the empty ipated, in his purple and
fine linen, under the burden of his
wretched Ego, while the man rich
in meAtal endownments fills and
animates the dearest solitude of
his own thoughts. Accordingly
we fluid that every one is sociable
and Graves society in proportion as
be is intellectually poor and :ordi-
nary. For we have hardly choice
iD the social world between solitude
aud common-placenesS.

BE Short.

Long visits, long essays, long
celebrations, and long prayers,
seldom profit those who have to do
with them. Life is short. Time
is short. Moments are precious.
Learn to condense, abridgc and
intensity. We can bear things
that are dull, if they are only short,
We can endure many an ache and
i'll. if it is over soon, while even
pleasure grows inSipld, and pam
intolerable ii they are p%rotracted
beyond the limits of reason and
convenience. Learn to be short.
L0p OFT branches; stick to the
plain facts in your case. If you
pray, ask for what things yon will
receive, and get througi-if you
speak, tell your message and hold
your tongue; boil down two sen
fences into one and three words in
to two. Always, when practicable
avoid lengthiness - learn to be
short.
