MoSrMGINE: The most manifest sign Of

DIsEAELI; The great secret Of success in

BYRON:
The drying up a single tear has more

GoUoH; Eloquence is the transfrrertce Of

BISHOP BUTLER: Truth is only got at by
assaulting and laying low the surroundings
that throw it out Of proportion and hide it
from view.
Cotton: Those who have finished by

CHESTERFIELD: \ vulgar man Is captious

BERCHER; Praise is the work-day dress
In which truths do secular duty. Poverty is

asserts its divine origin. Praise, is truth

evidence, has made II his business Tor years

thieves about the city. lie found the bust
ness 50 lucrative that he not only bought all
the goods brought him by the boys al en-
cDuraging prices but actually did all ne could
10 induce them TO continue their thefts. Two
Of the boys arrested with him were aged re-
spectively thirteen and sixteen years. They
were said by the police TO be adopts in crime,
a statement borne out BY their reckless bear
ing and the manner in which they gave their
testimony. They seemed to enjoy the rela-
ton Of their petty crimes. The depraVity
revealed was positively shocking. But the
worst criminal Of all was the seOundrel who
reaped the largest profits 10y disposing Of the
BOYS pilferings. Punishment should be
melted out 10 him in full measure.
