SUNDAY REFLECTIONS.

We love those who admire us, not
those whom We admire.-R0chefoucauld.
Every good deed that we do is not
only q pleasure, but prop for the
future.
Disparage and depreciate no one; an
insect has feeling and an atom has q
shadow.
! No man can be happy without q
friend, nor sure of friend till he is un-
fortunate.
Do all you can to stand, and then fear
lest you may fall. and by the grace of
God you are safe.
| There are people of merit who are dis.
gusting, and there are others who please,
with all their defects.
Good men are sometimes in greater
danger for saying the truth than evil
men for speaking falsely.
Never ridicule sacred things, or what
Others may esteem as such, however ab-
surd they may appear to you.
Always take the part of an absent per-
son who is censured in company. so far
as truth and propriety will allow.
The best cure for trouble is labor
the harder you work the less you think.
Who ever heard OF woodsawyer com.
mitting suicide?
How many people would be mute il
they were forbidden to speak we'll of
themselves, and evil of others p
Madame dc F0ntaines.
A fretful disposition takes the fra.
grance out Of ones life, and leaves only
weeds where cheerful disposition
would cause flowers to bloom.
A really good man had rather be de.
ceived than be suspicious; and rather
forego his own right than run the ven.
ture OF doing even hard thing.
Every human being has o work to
carry on within, duties to perform
abroad, influences to exert, which are
peculiarly his, and which no conscience
but his own can teach.
1t is part Of prudence to face every
claimant, and pay every just demand on
your time, your talents, or your heart.
Always pay; for, first or last, you must
pay your entire debt.
No one who has never suffered deeply,
has ever loved deeply, prayed
deeply, enjoyed deeply. The plow which
outs the sharpest furrows in our hearts
alone enables them to bear their richest
harvest.
Censure and criticism never hurt any
body. If false they cannot harm you,
unless you are wanting IN character;
and if true, they show man his weak
points, and forewarn him against fail
ure and trouble.
Every man in his own life has follies
snough-in his own mind troubles
enough-in the performance of his own
duties Deficiencies enough-in his for.
tunes evils enough-without minding |
other peoples business.
1t is when We come to rejoice in duty |
to take pleasure in sacrifice, to follow |
justice, mercy, and truth. not only with |
the firm and steady step, but with a |
loving and tender clasp, that we realize |
the true vitality Of righteousness.
That every day has its pains and sor.
rows is universally experienced and
more universally confessed; but let us not
attend only to mournful truths; il we
look impartially about us, we shall find |
that every day has likewise it's pleasures
and its joys.
1T was not the purest spirits Of Pales.
tine who we're eager to stone the guilty |
woman; the purest spirit stopped and
wrote with his finger on the ground,
that he might not see the shrinking
figure aud blushing face OF the guilty
one, and 30 add to her shame and con.
