= = sUnbounded modesty IS nothing more
than unavowed vanity: the two humble
obeisance is Sometimes a disguised im-
pertinenee. The reputation Of man is
like his shadow, gigantic when 10 pre-
.cedess him, andEpigmY in its proportions
when it. follows. More evil truths are
discovered by the corruption Of the heart
than by the penetration of the mind.
The rich man despises those who fatter
him too much, and hates those who do
not flatter him at all. The imagination
of men is often the refuge. of their
,prejudices. That sovereign has d little
mind who seeks to 90 down. to posterity
by means of great public buildings. It
is to confide to masons and brickIayers
the task. Of writing history. The, love of
glory can only create hero; the con-
tempt of it creates a great man. The
errors of great men and the good deeds
ief reprobates. should not be reckoned in
our estimatesaof their respective oharac-l
ters. Theologians resemble dogs, which
gnaw large bones for the sake OF very
,litt1emaat.a Both eYudition and agricul-
ture ought to be encouraged by govern,
ament; wit and manufactures viii come
of themselves Toe much sensibilityE
creates unhappiness;. too much insensi-
sbility creates crime. What / have been

manse sean never possess real sanasatiael
generosity; he. can neYergo beyond mere

be taught many things which you know,
already. There are many vices which
do notFdepriYe us of friends; sthereo are
many virtues which prevent our having

my youth thatsthe lovehef glory wassa

which requires the aid Of every vice.
There areztWo things to which we never

Ancient Englishmen.

i The earliest race Of men who peopled
England. says Grant Allen in Kisooledqe,
were the. black fellows of the pal;eolithie
or older stone age. They were low
browed, fierce -jawed, COUGHING creatl
ures, inferior even to the existing Aus
tralians, and Were all swept away in the,
last glacial epoch. Long after the gla-i
eiers Of the ice age had cleared off the
face OF the country, a second race occu-
pied Britain, some of whose descendants
almost undoubtedly exist there at the
present day. These were the neolithic,
orstorie agemen, who have been identified
tWith great probability, as q branch of the,
same isolated Basque or Eustrarian race
which now lives afneng the valleys Of
the western Pyrenees and the Asturias
mount aims. Our. knowledge OF them is
mainly derived from their tombs or bar
rows great heapssof earth which they
piled above the bodies of their dead
zchieftaihsa From these have been taken
their skeletons, their, weapons, theirgdo-
mestic utensils and their ornaments.
IN In istatufe,f the neolthic men were,
short and thick-set not often exceeding
five feet four inches. In complexion
they were probably white, hut swarthy,
], like the darkest Italians and Spaniards,
or even the Moors. Their skulls were
very long and marrow and they form
the best Distinguishing mark Of the race
as well as the best test of its survival at
the present day Tie neoliths were aun-i
acquainted, with, the use of metal, but
they employed weapons and implements
of stone, mot rudely chipped like those
/. Of the, older stone age, but carefully
ground and polished They made pot
atery too, ,sand woveEc cloth; they doindsti-;
Gated pigs and cattle, and they cultivated
coarse cereals In the little plots which
Iathe yeeleared out of the forest with their.
stone hatchets or tomahaWks. In gem
