Too much talk on trihes is social
evil.
Nothing circulates so rapidly as a
secret.
On slippery places take short steps
and slow.
No one is ever fatigued after the ex-
ercise of forbearance.
We can do more good by being good
/. than in any other way.
Make not thy friend too cheap to
thee. nor thyself to thy friend.
We carry oil our neighbors' crimes in
sight and throw all our own over our
shoulder.
An artesian we'll has been sunk ut
vitoria to the depth of IL, ,020 feet. 1t
cost $4,000.
Youth is the tassel and silken flower
of life age is the full corn, ripe and
solid in the ear.
Education begins the gentleman, but
reading, good company and reflection
must finish him.
No life can be utterly miserable that
is heightened by the laughter and love
OF one little child.
Bashfulness may sometimes exclude
pleasure, but seldom opens any avenue
to sorrow or remorse.
The praises of others may be of use
to teaching us, not what we are, but
what we ought to be.
A great many peoples lives are like
the blunderbuss that had rusted load
in it. At the discharge the owner is
himself kicked over.
