WISE WORDS.

A mans part is to bear misfortunes
rightly.
1t is the cause and not the death that
makes the martyr.
Borrowing is the canker and the death
of every mans estate.
Trusting to luck is only another name
for trusting to laziness.
The thing which we do not mean to
say is frequently the thing which is said.
1t is not enough to study life, one
must live it if one would II be truly an
artist.
Envy is the sunshine of anothcr's life,
making the shadow of our own seem
deeper.
1t is better to be discarded without
ceremony than being endured with
patience.
Every man is in some sort failure to
himself. No one ever reaches the height
to which he aspires.
No man ever got rid of lie by telling
it; it is sure to come home sooner or
later to hobnob with its author.
When caution you against becoming
miser, do not therefore advise you to
become prodlgal or spcndthrift.
Some things after all come to the poor
that can't get in at the doors of the rich,
whose money somehow blocks up the en-
trance way.
Time is the greatest of tyrants and OK
tortioners. As we go toward age he
taxes our health. our limbs, our faculties,
our strength and our features.
Where there is abuse, there ought to
be camor: because it is better TO have
our slumbers broken by the fire bell than
to perish amid flames in our bed.
