GEMS FROM EMERSON.

But the people are to be taken in very
small doses. If solitude is proud, so is
society ENTHUSIASTICALLY and Solitude.
ONE of those conceited prigs who val
ne nature only as it feeds and exhibits
them is equally pest with the roister-
ers.-CSubs.
POETRY is the only verity-the express
sion of sound mind speaking after the
ideal, and not after the apparent
Poetry and Imagination.
WHEREVER there is power there is age.
Don't be deceived by dimples and c1lrls.
1 tell you that babe is thousand years
old.-Old Age.
AND We shall, succor men;
IT'S nobleness to serve;
Help them who cannot help again;
Beware from right to swerve.
boston Hymn.
LIFE is succession of lessons which
must be lived to be understood. All is
riddle, and the key to riddle is another
riddle. There are as many pillows Of
Illusion as flakes in q snow-storm. We
wake from one dream into another
dream.
IT never was in the power of any man
or any community to call the arts into
being. They come to servo his actual
wants, never to please his fancy. These
arts have their origin always in some en-
thusiasm-as love, patriotism or re-
hgion.
TIE world rolls round, mistrust it not
BefaDs again what once befell;
All things return, both sphere and mote,
And i shall hear bluebrd'S note
And dream the dream of Auburn dell
-Nay-Day.
WE do not believe there is any force
in to-day to rival or recreate that beauti-
full yesterday. We linger in the ruins of
the old tent, where once we had bread,
and shelter, and organs, nor believe that
the spirit can feed, cover and nerve us
again. We cannot again find aught so
dear, SO sweet, so graceful. But we sit
and weep in vain. The voice of the
Almighty saith, 'Up and onward for
evermore p We cannot stay amid the
ruins. Compensation.
kNow'sT thou what wove yon woodlands nest
OF leaves aud feathers from her breast?
Or how the fish oGtbuit her shell,
Painting with morn each annual cell?
Or how the sacred pine-tree adds
To her old leaves myriads?
such and so grew these holy piles,
Whilst love and terror laid the tiles.

When Shakespeare is charged with debts

He breathed upon dead bodies and

The law of the table is beauty-a
respect to the common soul of all the
guests. Everything is unreasonable
which is private to two or three or any
portion of the company. Tact never
violates for moment this law; never
intrudes the orders of the house, the
vices of the absent, or tariff of ex-
penses, OF professional privacies as we
say, we never talk shop" before COM
pany. Lovers abstai- from caresses, and
haters from insults, whilst they sit in

SHALL we then judge country by
the majority OF by the minority? By
the minority, surely. Ills pedantry to
estimate nations by the census, or by
square miles of land, or other than by
their Importance to the mind of the time.
