NUGGETS OF KNOWLEDGE.

WHERE you can not climb over you must
creep under.
LEARNING and wisdom do not always 90
together.
KNOWLEDGE of our duties is the most use
ful part of philosophy.
IT is best not to dispute where there is no
probability of convincing.
FAME comes only when deserved, and then
tits as inevitable as destiny.
THAT was wise counsellor who said:
keep cool and you command every body"
WHEN you want TO buy thing ask the
opinion of your purse about it.
PROSPERITY is no just scale. Adversely
is the only balance to weigh friends.
KNOWLEDGE is like money-the more it is
circulated the more people get the benefit
of it.
WHEN man has no good reason for doing
a thing, he has one good reason for letting
it alone.
No BLINDNESS or lack Of opportunity to do
great things deprives any of the right to be
good man.
ALwAYs keep your designs and business
from the knowledge Of others except wise
and true friends.
LARGE license is accorded TO beauty.
Every woman can venture TO be saucy il
she pleases, bat not if she dIspleases
TIE man not in earnest seldom accom-
plishes much in this world. Bulwer once
said: Nothing is so contagious as en-
thusiasm; it is the allegory of the tale of
Orpheus; 1t moves stones, it chains brutes.
Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity. and
truth aCcomphSheS no victories without it. -
