all outward appearances they are un-

with them shows that at some time they
have been under missionary influence.
They will remain on the Toxic until the

WISE WORDS.

A chereful face is nearly as good for
an invalid as healthy weather. -
y. We seldom find people ungrateful so
long as I'VE are in conditions to render
them service.
All other knowledge is huTtful to him
who has not the science of honesty and
good nature. .rITIf1.
Fate is the friend of the good, the
guide Of the wise. the tyrant of the
foolish, the enemy of the bad. -
The best part of our know ledge is
that which teaches us where knowledge
leaves off and where it begins. sG.F
Humility does not make us servile nor
insensible, nor Oblige us to be ridden at
the pleasure of every coxcOmb.
Outward actions can never give a
just estimate of us, since there are
many perfections of a man which are
not capable of appearing in actions.
If life is unhappy, it is burden to
us which 1t is difficult to bear; If it be
in every respect happy, it is dreadful to
be deprived of it; so that in either case
the result Is the same, for we must ex-
ist in anxiety and apprehension.
