Ere love is past forgiving,
To take the tender lesson home
Be patient with the living.
Remorse Is the echo of a lost virtue
| To hate excellence is to be at its ex-
IRENE opposite pole.
Iehath riches sufficient who hath enough
| to be charitable.
Soft words, warm friends; bitter words,
lasting enemies.
| Mind and have a care for silent dog
and too still water.
Contact with the world either breaks or
hardens the heart
To read without rejecting is like eating
without digesting
A rich dress is not worth a straw to
one who has a poor mind.
The two best books for child are u
good mothers face and life.
A philosopher is one who unfnchingly
accepts the situation.
We rate ability in men by what they
finish, not by what they attempt.
Strong passions work wonders when
There is nothing so strong or safe in
an emergency of life as the simple truth.
You may take the greatest trouble, and
by turning it around find joys on the other
side.
The best and most important part of n
mans education is that which he gives
himself.
Sudden expectations, which kindle the
mind to a fever, sometimes chill the
heart to a frost
Truth-the open, bold, honest truths
always the safest, for any one, in any
and all circumstances.
To all intents and purposes, he who
will not open his eyes is, for the present,
as blind as he that cannot.
The greatest event of an age are its
best thoughts; it is the nature of thought
to find its way into action.
Make people happy and there will not be
half the quarreling or tenth part of the
wickedness there is.
The power of applying attention, steady
and undissipated to single object, is the
sure mark of a superior mind.
In every relation of life we must bear
o,,J fnrhoa p. xya ,n,1St not pynept Dprfec-
ton, and each party should carry the
cloak of charity for the other.
What sunshine is to the flowers, amiabil-
ity is to the family. Cross looks, and
much more cross words, dwarf and starve
the souls of those around us.
So long as thou art ignorant, be not
ashamed to learn. Ignorance is the great
est of all infirmities, and when justified,
the chefest of all follies.
With every member of the household
anxious to promote the welfare of each
other by kind words and deeds how cheer
| full the family circle can be made.
There should be- methinks, as little merit

inc a man for his prosperity; both being
equally subject to change.
In most quarrels there is fault on both
sides. A quarrel may be compared to
spark. which cannot be produced without
a flint as well as steel; either of them may
hammer on wood forever, but no fire will
| follow.
Fine sense and exalted sense are not hall
80 valuable as common sense. There are
| forty men of wit to one of common sense,
and he that will carry nothing about INN
but gold, will be every day at loss Tor
reader change.
Seek not to please the world, but your
own conscience. The man who has ieel-
inc within him that he has done his duty
unon every occasion is far happier than he
who hangs upon the smile of the great OF
the still more tickle favors of the multi
tude.
Nothing sinks young man INTO 10"
company, both of women and men, so
surely as timidty and dffidence of himself.
II he thinks that he shall not, he may de-
pend upon it he will not please. But with
proper endeavors to please, and degree oil
persuasion that lie shall, it is almost GER
| tain that he will.
