WORDS OF WISDOM.

THERE is no grace III a benefit that
sticks to the fngers.-Senec0.
REASON should not regulate, but sup
plement virtue.-GanUenarges.
JUSTICE without power is impotent
Power without justice is tyrannical.-
Pascal
We must consider humanity as a man
who continually grows old, and always
learns. Il. FFguier.
DIFFERENCE is the most delicate, the
most indirect and the most elegant of
compliments ts.-Sheast0ne
PEDANTRY Grams our ears with learned
lumber, and takes out our brains to
make room for it.-COLtOn.
IT is a species of agreeable servitude
to be under an obligation to those We
esteem. Christine.
TIE truest mark of being born with
great qualities Is being born without
envy.-Le ROchefoucauid.
WHETHER happiness may come or not,
none should try to prepare ones self to
do without it. George Eliot.
A CooUETTE is a woman 'thout any
heart that makes a fool o man that
amt got any head.-The Continent.
WE are never so happy nor SO unhap-
py as we imagine. Every one complains
of his memory; but no one OF his judg
ment. La RochefOucauld.
PHIsosoPHY easily triumphs over the
misfortunes that are past, and over those
that are to come; but the trials of the
present triumph over her.-La Roche
fOucauld.
A FIRM faith is the best divinity; good
life the best philosophy; clear con-
science the best law; honesty the best
policy, and temperance the best physic.
-ChdrrO7l.
WNENEvER you commend, aid your
reasons for doing so; it is this which dis
tinguishes the appreciation of man Of
sense from the tiattery of sycophants
and admiration of fools. Steele.
LITERATURE is mere step to knowl
edge, and the error often lies IN our
identifying one with the other. Lit
erature may, perhaps, make Us vain;
true knowledge must render US humble.
Mrs. Sanford.
As in our lives, so in our studies, it Is
most becoming and most wise to temper
gravity with cheerfulness, that the
former may not imbue our minds with
melancholy, nor the latter degenerate
INTO hcentiousnes SIS. .-Pl5ny.
PRAISE not people TO their faces to the
end that they may pay you in the same
coin. This is so thin cobweb that it
may with little difficulty be seen
through; It's rarely strong enough to
catch flies of any considerable magni-
tude Fuller.
GREAT humiliations rarely console US;
we forget them. Sublime thoughts come
from the soul. To say new things is
easier than to reconcile those that have
been said. Language and intellect have
| bounds. Truth is infinite. Avarice is
the last and most tyrannical of passions.
- VanUeradrges.
AFTER all the most natural beauty in
the world is honesty and moral truth
For all beauty is truth. True features
make the beauty of the face, and true
proportions the beauty of architecture,
as truth measures that of harmony and
music. In poetry, which is all fable,
truth still is the perfection.-ShGftes.
| bury.
MEN seem neither to understand the1l
riches nor their stronghold the fo1m mel
they believe greater things than they
should; of the latter much less. Self
reliance and self-denial will teach mar
to drink oat of his own cistern, and ca
his own sweet bread, and to learn and la
Dor truly to get his living, and carefully
to expend the good things committed t.
their trust.-BdcOn.
