Sparks from Victor Hugo.


The gamin: he has not food to eat
every day, yet he goes to the show
every evening, if he sees fit. In re-
partee this youngster is as famous as
Talleyrand. A funeral is passing.
There is doctor in the procession:
''Hullo! how long is it since the doctors
began to take home their work?" He
is never satisfied with his pantaloons
unless they have watch fob.
All the crimes of man begin with the
vagrancy of childhood.
Light makes whole. Light enlight-
ems.
To dare: progress is at this price. All
sublime conquests are, more or less, the
results of daring.
He was one of those children, so de-
serving of pity from all, who have
fathers and mothers, and yet are or
phans.
She was lmmodestly modest. She
was the ermine of stupidity, without
single stain of intelligence.
And not being able to have his child,
he set about loving flowers.
There were young people there, but
they were slightly dead.
Feeling that he was not loved at all,
he had no love.
On account of that vague respect for
death which is always so imperious in
the heart of man.
He had a continued sob in his heart
which said at every moment, alas!
What spectacle is night! we hear
dull sounds, not knowing whence they
come; the welkin is black; the stars
sparkle; it is terror-inspiring.

There, an event occurred in the life of
NJ. g., the elder; she had an idea.

morning enlightens still better.
There is in fact eternity in right.
His speciality was to succeed in moth
ing.
What we lack attracts lis. Nobody
loves the light like blind man.
He admired, by instinct, his opposite. |
Every good quality runs into defect;
economy borders on avarice, the gener- |
al are not far from the prodigal, the |
brave man is close to the bully, he who |
says very pious says slightly sanctimo-
nious.
Nothing is so stupid as to vanquish;
the real glory is to convince.
Peace is happiness digesting.

Misery is sometimes n mother; mis-
fortune is good breast for great souls.
It is with misery as with everything
slse 1t gradually becomes endurable.
The soul helps the body. and at GER
.ain moments uplifts 1t. 1t is the only
bird which sustains its cage.
There is not grandfather who does
lot adore his grandson.
Old men need affection as they do
sunshine.
As with all good hearts, suffering had
AIKEN away his bitterness.
The misery of young man is never
miserable.
Youth. with Sentleness, has upon old

He who has seen the misery of women h
