PEARLS OF WISDOM.

DE hVarlclOuS OF llme; 40 not give
any moment without receiving it in l
value; only allow the hours to go from
you with as much regret as you give
to your gold; do not allow a single day
to pass without increasing the treasure
of your knowledge and virtue. The
use of time is debt we contract from
birth, and it should only be paid with
the interest that our life has sccumu-
lated.
1t is not calumny or treachery that
does the most harm in the world-they
are continually crushed, and are felt
only in being conquered-but it is the
glistening and sottly-spoken lie, the
amiable iallacy, the patriotic lie of the
historian, the provident lie of the poll
tician, the jealous lie of the partisan,
the merciful lie of the friend, and the
careless lie of each man to himself
which darken and degrade our life.
The quality OF true gentlemanliness
is something which can be better felt
than described; we instinctively recog-
nize and honor it wherever it resides,
and whoever would partake of it in his
own character must learn that the
straightest road lies through the hum
Bile virtues of sincerity, simplicity,
honorable principles and kindly sym
patbies.
Doing nothing for others is the un-
doing of ones self. We must be pur-
posely kind and generous, or we miss
the best part of existence. The heart
that goes out of itself gets large and
full of joy. This is the great secret of
the inner life We do ourselves the
most good doing something for others.
| We must never imagine that it is
only the poor and unfortunate who
need our services. We have some
power for good over all with whom
we mingle, and our benevolent desires
will multiply and strengthen in pro-
portion as they eliminate in wise &C
, ton.
| When you make mistake, DOM
look back at it long. Take the reason
of the thing into your own mind, and
then look forward. Mistakes are les
sons of wisdom. The past cannot be
changed. The future is yet in youl
, power.
. Be patient in little things. Lear
to bear the every day trials and annoy
ances OF life quietly and calmly, and
then when unforeseen trouble or ca
lamity comes, your strength will moi
i. forsake you.
If women lead men to the verge o.
= a precipice, and the men then throw
themselves over, the men do very
wrong thing, but only, perhaps, VIVA
the women have cause to expect.
= Nothing is more expensive thar
penuriousness, nothing more anxious
than earelessness; and every dut.
= which is hidden to wait returns will
= seven fresh duties at its back.
There are good many real miser-
9 les in life that we cannot help smilin!
at, but they are the smiles that ma k'
wrinkles and not dimples.
1t argues poor opinion of ourselve
when we cannot admit any other elias
of merit besides our own, or any riya
in that clas.
As we grow old, we should grow
reverend. Nature keeps our head
covered in our youth, but uncoycri
them in our age.
Womanhood is greater than wife
hood. 1t comprehends and embrace
lit. The best woman makes the bes
I wife.

Every mans life lies within tn
e present, for the past is spent and don
with, and the future is uncertain.
n Let a woman do what she can, n
because she is woman, but becaui
It che is one of Gods creatures.
