WISE WORDS.

Gaming is the child of avaricc,
but the parent of prodigality.
Applause is the spur of noble
minds, the end and aim Of weak
ones.
Act we'll at the moment, and
you have performed good action
to all eternity.
True bencvolencc is to love all
men: Rscompense injury with
justice, and unkindliness with
kindness.
Flowers swccten the air, re-
joice the air, link us with nature
and innocence, and arc something
to love.
The firmest friends have been
formed in mutual adversely, as
iron is most strongly united by
the ferccst flame.
This above ALTO thine own self
be true;
And it must follow, as the night
the day,
Thou canst not then be false to
any man.
Shakespeare.
1t is by what VIC ourselves have

done for us that we shall be re-
membercd.
TO pronounce man happy
merely because he is rich, is just
as absurd as to pronounce man
healthy because he has enough to
cat.
Right habit is like the thread
on which we string prcciouspearls.
The thread perhaps is ofno great
value, but, if it be broken, the
pearls arc lost.
We're we as eloquent as angels,
yet should wo please some men,
some women and some children
much more by listening than by
talking.

found, there humanity is arrayed
against itself, and there the honey.
