SAYINGS.

All is not lost when anything goes
contrary to you.
There can be no Christianity where
there is no charity.
Best be off with the new love before
you're on with the old.
Those who live in stone houses
shouldn't throw glass.
Let us be grateful to writers for what
is left in the inkstand.
He who lives but for himself lives
but for a little thing.
Silence is the wit of fools and one of
the virtues of the wise.
Fiction pleases the more in proportion
as it resembles truth.
Let us learn upon earth those things
which call us To Heaven.
When love flies in at the window pow
erty flies ont at the door.
Our actions are our own. their conse-
quences belong to heaven.
To count but few things necessary is
the foundation of many virtues.
There is no dungeon so dark and dis
NAL as the mean mans mind.
Do not speak of your happiness to a
less fortunate man than yourself.
You may lay yourself out not for
much rest, but for great patience.
The little things that make up our
life come every day and every hour.
The readiest and surest way to get rid
of censure is to correct ourselves.
The main strength and force Of Il law
consis is i'll the penalty annexed to it.
There is but one way to hcaven-the
way of sell-sacriiice and unselfish service.
Wrongs entrcnclcd in bad Legislation
can never be converted into vested
riohtS.

MEN WOMEN.

What is it that makes all those men VINO
associate habitually with women superior
to others who do not? What makes that
woman who is accustomed and at ease in
the society Of men superior to her sex IN
general? Surely because they are in the
habit of free, graceful, continued converse
ton with the other sex. Women IN this
way lose all their frivolity, their faculties
awaken. their delicacies and peculiarities
unfold all their beauty and captivation IN
the spirit of intellectual rivalry. And the
men lose their pedantic. rude, declamatory
and sullen manner. The coin of the under
standing and the heart changes continually.
The asperities are rubbed of, their better
materials polished and frightened, and their
richness, like the gold, is wrought into the
finer workmanship by the fingers OF women
than it ever could he by those of men. The
iron and steel Of their characters are hidden,
like the character and armor Of a giant, by
studs and knots o good and precious stones,
when they are moi wanted for actual war
fare,
