Trouble Is easily borne when eyerybody

None but the gully can be long and
completely miserable.
Some persons blame themselves to ex
tort the praise Of contradiction from
others.
True popularity is not popularity which

follows after.
Love that has nothing but beauty to
Keep It In good health ls short lived and
apt to have Rgus fits.
Moral courage will rank higher than

while the other may be required only Ia
emergencies.

ten thousand desires makes wise and

It Is another's fault II he be migrate

find one thankful man l will oblige a

Prudence supposes the value OF the end

the means 1t Ia the relation of right
means for given ends.
a man IN the declension of his age

The affections, like the conscience, are

be feared that they who Rary where
they do not love will love where they do

There are two modes OF establishing our

and to be abuged by rogues. It is best,
however, to secuT0 the former, because
