SMALL FAVORS.


SMALL FAvORS.
felicity that costs pain gives double content
Nothing but good life can fit men for better
one.
Money is well spent in purchasing tranquility
of mind.
IndOlence is the rust of the mind and the inlet
of every vice,
Experience keeps dear school, but fools learn
in no other.
One smile for the living is worth dozen tears
for the dead.
He Is wise who never acts without reason, and
never against it.
A man seldom improves who has no better mod.
ell than himself
The beginning of anger is foolishness, and 1t
ends in repentance.
He that pretends to be everybody's particular
friend is nObodys.
Ifyou do what you should not, you must bear
what you would not.
The imagination is of so delicate texture that
even words wound 1t.
Silence is figure Of speech, unanswerable, short
cold, but terribly severe.
The virtue of prosperity is temperance the vir.
tue of adversely is fortitude
Never trouble yourself with triaes, and soon all
trouble will appear a trifle.
Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the
benefits that are your duty.
Grey hairs seem like the light Of soft morn,
silvering over the evening of life
1t is not the ability to be idle but the ability to
work, that constitutes happiness
1t is sad to see so many walk in the dark them
selves, who carry lantern for others.
Men usually follow their wishes till suffering
compels them to follow their Judgment.
The truths that we least wish to hear are those
which it is most to our advantage to know.
The sleep of memory is not its death; forgotten
studies are certain apttudes gone 10 sleep.
The intellect of truly wise man is like glass
1t admits the light OF heaven and reflects it.
Time borders upon eternity. 1t requires but an
instant to make the passage from one to the other
man who cannot command his temper, his at.
tention and his cOuntenance, should not think Of
being man of business.
Dissipation is a swift and sure destroyer, and
every young man who follows it, is as the early
flower, exposed to untimely frost
1t we lack the sagacity to discriminate nicely
between our acquaintances and our friends, our
misfortunes will readily do 1t for us.
The inflction Of an undeserved punishment is
not more distressing than to escape the pain and
brave the Tancor of conscious guilt
Not yet, not yet the 6ght
Under ground, out OF sight,
Like moles, We blindly toll
on-though we know not where;
Some day the upper air,
The sun, and all things fair,
We reach through the dark soil.
selflove is at once the most delicate and the
most tenacious Of sentiments; mere nothing will
wound It, but nothing on earth will kill It,
Sweetest the strain when In the song
The singer has been lost
Truest the work when It's the deed,
Not doer counts for most.
The Joy Of the spirit is delicate sacred deposit
and must be kept in pure casket, as an unholy
breath will dim Its luster and fade It's freshness
He that does not know those things which are
of use and necessity for him to know is but an ig-
norant man, whatever he may know besides.
Within the circle OF the home
Life's promise and fulhllment come;
The daylight and the dark are but
The gates that on life'a story shut.
Bestow all the time you can spare from the nee.
essary business Of this life in preparing yoHrself
and those about you, for entrance into a better
| life.
These six-the peevish, the niggard, the dissatis-
fed the passionate, the suspicious, and those who
live upon others means-are forever unhappy
Don't blush because you have patch,
In honest labor won;
There's many small cot rooted with thatch
That's happier than throne.
Meekness and courtesy will always recommend
the first address, but soon fail and nauseate un
less they are associated with more sprghtly quail
tiles.
Let us take care how we speak Of those who
have fallen on life's field. Help them up, not
heap scorn upon them: We did not see the con.
Hict. We did know the scars.
Be honest, II you would be eloquent;
Be not Ginning fool with caps and bells;
Reason and genuine feeling want no arts
Ofutterance-ask no toll ofelocution
And when you are in earnest, do you need
A search for wordsf
Ofall coxcombs, the most intolerable In conver.
sation Is your fighting fool and your opinionated
witt the one ia always talking to show his parts,
and the other always quarreling to show his
valor
Hoist up sail while the gale doth last
Time and tide stay no mans pleasure,
Seek not time when time is past
| Sober speed is wisdom's leisure.
Afterwits are dearly bought;
Let thy fOrewit guide thy thought.
Go out Of doors and get tho air. All, II you
knew what was in the air See what your robust
neighbor, who never feared to live in It, has got
from it--strength, cheerfulness, power to con-
vince, heartiness and equality to each event.
II this life Is unhappy, it isa burden to us which
Is difficult for us to bear II 1t be In every respect
happy 1t is dreadful thing TO be deprived of II,
SO that in either case 1t is the same, for we must
exist in anxiety and apprehension.
