WISE WORDS.

Kindness is the only charm permitted
to the aged; it is the coquetry of gray
hair.
Comparison more than reality makes
men happy and can make them
wretched.
Scholars are frequently to be met with
who are ignorant CT nothing save their
own ignorance.
Genius is only entitled to respect when
1t promotes the peace and improves the
happiness of mankind.
Great men undertake great things be-
cause they are great, and fools because
they think them easy.
The man who lives in vain, lives worse
than in vain. He who lives to no pur-
pose, lives to bad purpose.
There is a key that will open every
lock, If we know how to forget it; and,
SO with life, there is a right path for
every one if they will only search to
find it.
The memory ought to be a store-room
many turn theirs, rather, to a lumber
room. Even stores grow moldy, and
spoil, unless aired and used betimes,
and then they, too, become lumber.
To suppose that we can indulge in the
lower passions or appetites for time,
and then at our pleasure subdue them
and lead a higher life, is an illusion
which will dissolve as we approach it.
Character is self-perpetuating; it uses
all its materials, good and bad. None
of them can be swept away or blotted.
1t is not sufficient to expound to the
rising generation principles of integrity,
and enforce them by weighty arguments;
we must also nourish the germs of be-
nevolence in their hearts, and cultivate
the aptitude for reading and interpreting
the feelings of others, and the power of
participating in their pleasures and
pains.
1t is by sympathy that we enter into
the concerns of others, that we are moved
as they are moved, and never suffered to
be Indifferent spectators of almost any
thing that men can do or suffer. For
sympathy may be considered as sort of
substitution by which we are put into
the place of another man and affected in
many respects as he is affected.

FOrty.Six Days Of Starvation.

The ability of human being to exist
for long period without natural food
has been again demonstrated in recent
instance, which has been investigated
with much interest by the Austrian doc.
tors. A peasant woman lost her way in
Bohemian forest, and was unable to re-
turn to her home. She wandered many
miles, and at length sank down ex-
hausted, and was unconscious'and unable
to respond when her neighbors went
through the forest looking and calling
for her. Parties of villagers continued
the search for her in vain, and at the end
of month all hope of finding her alive
was abandoned. On the forty-sxth day
after she had been lost she was discov-
cred by accident. The poor woman was
still alive, but was in pitiable condition.
She mad subsisted entirely by sucking
dew from the leaves and by eating grass.
When found she was surrounded by
number of half famished foxes, evidently
awaiting her death.
