MAN ought not to boast of his birth,

of his wisdom or knowledge; nor mag
niiicently to extOl the bravery and great
actions, either of himself or of his an
cestors; nor, at every opportunity, to
talk of his family, as is the practice of
many; for he who does so will appear to
do 1t in opposition to the present com
pany; especially if they are not, or at
least think they are not, less honorable,
less opulent, or less brave than himself;
or, if they are really his interiors, he will
be deemed to despise them, and even to
reproach them with their meanness and
misery, which must be universally dis
pleasing to mankind.

IT is useless to talk of sacrificing self
to others, unless there is something in
self that others need. 1t is the full and
rich life, not the poor and empty one,
that can fill and enrich others. True
benevolence, then, must obtain that
which it would give. To acquire, hon.
Orably, money, or leisure, or power; to
develop interest in human affairs; to
cherish just principles and generous i'm
pulses; to fill the mind with pure and no.
bic thoughts and the heart with tender
love and sympathy; these things are es-
sential if we would pour out blessings
and benefits upon our fellow men, while
at the same time they ennobIe and glad
den our own lives.

DIOGENEs laughed at the grammar
ans, who cudgelled their brains to in
quire into the miseries of Ulysses, and
were ignorant of their own; at musicians,
who were so exact in tuning their instru-
ments, and never tuned their manners;
and at orators, who studied to declare
what was justice, but never took care to
do it. If the mind be not better dis
posed, if the judgment be not better set
tied, had much rather my scholar had
spent his time at tennis, for at least his
body would by that means be in better

THE cynic puts all human actions in

since his fall, it abuses those who own it.

IT is not with a rush and a spring

MANHOOD is not reached by a sud

warmth.
