WIT AND WISDOM.

"A man who rises above his discour.
agements will be only the better for his
adversities.
The way to gain good reputation
is to endeavor to be what you desire tc
appear. Socrates.
Man is not perfect, OF course, but
so long as woman is, it does not matter
much. Somerville journal.
1t is too bad that the folks who
have no money to pay for meal should
have such good appetites. IN. Y.
Epoch.
TO finish the moment, to find the
journeys end in every step of the road,
to live the greatest number of good
hours, is wisdom. Emerson.
None are so seldom found alone
and are so tired of their own company,
as those coxcombs who are on best
terms with themselves. Cotton.
BY adversely are wrought the
greatest works OF admiration, and all
the fair examples of renown out OF dis
tress and misery are grown. Daniel
We part more easily with what we
possess than with the expectation of
what we wish for; and the reason OF it
is, that what we expect is always
greater than what we enjoy.
"A busy life, with good principles.
strong purposes. and wisdom enough to
secure a fair cultivation of the different
sides of the nature, is one of the most
important factors for securing a ripe
and happy old age. Once Week.
Let every dawn of morning be to
you as the beginning OF life. and every
setting sun be to you as its close; then
let every one of these short lives live
its sure record of some kindly thing
done for others-some goodly strength
or knowledge gained for ourselves. -
Ruskin.
Blessings on the man who sows the
seeds OF happy nature and noble
character broad cast wherever his feet
wander, who has smile alike for Joy
