BeaughtIful Thoughts.


Persian prOverb: The heart is the
only thing that is better by being
broken.
Anon: 1t is more shameful to dis
trust ones friends than to be deceived
by them.
Emile Souvestre: Good company and
good conversation are the very sinews
of virtue. F6gl
Charles Dudley Warner: Next to an
effeminate man there is nothing so dis
agreeable as a mannish woman.
George Eliot: When death, the great
recOnciler has come, 1t is never our ten
derness we repent of, but our severity.
Franklin: He that once did you a
kindness will be more ready to do you
another than he whom you yourself have
obliged.
ROuchefOucauld True bravery is
shown by performing without witnesses
what one might be capable of doing be-
fore all the world.
Kinslay: What can a man do more
than die for his cOuntrymen? Live for
them; it is longer work and therefore
more difficult and noble one.
Dante: Behold the savage beast with
the pointed tale that passes mountains
and breaks through walls and weapons.
Behold him that pOllutes the whole
world" Thus began my guide to speak
to me, and the uncleanly image of Fraud
came forward. t
Emerson: Conversation fills all gaps,
supplies all deficiencies. What a good
trait recorded is that of Madame de
MaintenOn, that, during dinner, the SER
want whispered at her side, "Please mad
anne, one anecdOte more, for there is no
roast to-day"
Anon: One cannot help seeing that
the sense of live beauty is blessing;
that the ideal is forever the. real; the
only live thing in the universesOf mind
and matter. Once the truth is under
stood, the bonds Of tyranny are but rot
ten wythes; methods are but incidents.
Bulwer: Of all the weaknesses which
little men rail at, there is none that they
are more apt to rail at than tendency
to believe. And of all the signs of cor
rupt heart and feeble head, the tendency
to incredulity islthelsurest. Real philos-
ply seeks rather to solve than to deny.
Plato: beloved Pan, and all We other
gods of this place, grant me to become
beautiful in the inner man, and that
whatever outward things have may be
at peace with those within. May deem
the wise man rich, and may have snch
a portion of gold as none but prudent
man can either bear or employ.
- George Eliot: There is no hOpelessness
so sad as that of youth, when the soul is
made up of wants, and has no long
memories, no super-added life in the life
of others, though we who look out think
lightly of such premature despair, as if
our vision of the future lighted the blind
suffers present.
Goethe: He who wishes to exert use
full influence must be careful to insult
nothing. Let him not be troubled by
what is good. He must not demOlish
but build. He must raise temples where
mankind may come and partake of the
purest pleasure. f@s
Thackeray: 1t is only few who weep
for sheer affection. When you think
that the eyes of your childhood dried at
the sight of piece of nger-bread, and
that plum-cake was compensation for
the agony of parting with you, mamma
and sisters, o my friend and brother, you
need not be too confident of your own
fine feelings.
Anon: The work of destruction: We
must expose the false in order to estab-
lish the true. We must tear down the
old and the useless that we may build
up the new and useful. "@aA -,
JohnsOn: All the other powers of liter
allure are coy and naughty; they must
be long cOurted, and at last are not al
ways gained; but criticism is goddess
easy of access and forward of advance
she will meet the slow and encourage
the timOrOus. The want of meaning she
supplies with words, and the want of
spirit she recOmpenses with malignity,
