DIAMONDS OF THOUGHT.

AbEAo Hic oSo-LuMuJtfHc.
THERE is never but one opportunity
Of kind.--1horedu.
JUSTICE consists in doing no in
jury to men, decency, in giving them
no ofiense.
ALTHOUGH men are accused Of not
knowing their weakness, yet per-
haps as few know their own strength.
PIcKiNe HoLEs.-It is easy to pick
holes in other peoples work, but it
is far more profitable to do better
work yourself.
HuMANITY.-Without the virtue Of
humanity, one can neither be honest
in poverty nor contented in abund-
ance.
AFFEoTIoN.-The tie that binds
the happy may be dear; but that
which links the unfortunate is tender
ness unutterable.
MoHAMMEp says that one hour of
justice is worth seventy years Of pray
Ell. Ono act of charity 10 worth
century of eloquence.
TRUE REPENTANCE.--Let your re-
pentancs he lively will, firm res
olution. Complaints and mourning
over past errors avail nothing.
The MosT DANGEROUS. -Diogenes
being asked, "The biting of which
beast is the most dangerously" an
swered, "If you mean wild beasts,
it's the slanderer. If tame ones, the
1atterer"
SELrrsHNEss. 1t is q mistake to
expect to receive welcome hospitality,
words of cheer, and help over rugged
and difficult passes in life, in return
for cold selfishness, which cares for
nothing in the world but self.
THOROUGHLY AGREEABLE. Almost
any woman however plain in personal
appearance she may be, can render
herself pleasing to others, at all times
and seasons, if she will exert herself
so to do. Ladies who train them
selves to please, become irresistibly
alluring.
LABoR.--Genius must be allied to
labor if great results are to be pro-
duccd. Yet genius so constantly
gets credit for what is due to labor,
that labor is naturally moderated.
Men generally aid, and with deliber-
alton, in strengthening and dif'nsing
this error.
THE PLAINEsT RoAD.-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 con-
duct will save thousand bushes
and thousand struggles, and will
deliver you from secret torrents
which are the never-failing attendants
Of discrimination.
NATURALNEss is the good gift
which the fairy godmothef brings to
her princes favorites in tire cradle. If
a man have it not he will never find
it, for when sought it is gone.--James
Russell LosceU.
SHOW Me THE MAN you honor; l
know by symptom better than by
any other what kind of man you
yourself are. For you show me there
what your ideal Of manhood is, what
kind Of a man you long inexpressi-
bly, TO be.-Carlyle.
THE TRIAL OF LlfE.-1f You do not
bring any strain to bear upon timber,
one kind is as good as another. A
splinter of a broom is dis good as the
best ash if you do not put any weight
upon tiff you lay it down on the
carpet and do not do anything with
it. The only thing which shows the
relative excellence Of the different
sorts is a pressure brought to bear
upon them.
LIFE is not so short but that there
is always time enough for courtesy.
JUsTIcE.-Unless you are just, you
cannot be completely and consistent
ly kind. Justice never frowns on
kindness and kindness never inter-
feres with justice. ar
GRATITUDE AND LovE.--1t Is a dan
gerous experiment to call in graft
tude as an ally to ~1ove. Love is a
debt which inclination always pays,
obligation never-Pdscal.
TRUTH AND LIEs.-If you want
truth to go round the world you
must hire an express train to pull
it; but if you want lie to go round
the world it will fly; it is light as a
feather, and breath will carry it.
Love AND SYMPArHY.-Man, with
all his boosted strength of rnfhd,
needs womanIy love and sympathy.
1t is not as a worker alone that he
wants wife. If this is all he needs,
hired help can do it cheaper than :
wife. sn6 So
Work AND WoRRY Its not work
that kills men; it is worry Work is
healthy: you can hardly put more
upon man than he can bear. Wor-
nv is rust upon the blade. 1t is not
the revolution that destroys the ma
chincry, but the frictions a
Attention, MoTHEks mo hired
hely can ever make up fer the lack
of knowledge and qualifications in
the mistress Of a household. A
