Make no haste to be rich, if you would
prosper.
Save when you are young to spend
when you are old.
There is no better excess in the world
than the excess of gratitude.
If anyone speaks evil of you, let your
life be such that no one will believe him.
Life is long enough for him who knows
how to use it. Working and thinking
extends its limits.
If we had it in our power to crafty
every wish, we should soon feel the
effects of a surfeit.
Failure after long perseverance is much
nobler than never to have striven and so
have incurred failure.
Though man may become learned by
another's learning, he can never be wise
but by his own wisdom.
When you know thing, to hold that
you know it; and when you do not know
thing, to allow that you do not know it
this is knowledge.
If we wish our children to revere high
things-things simple, and pure, and
lovely, and of good report-we must set
them the example.
The more man follows Nature and is
obedient to her laws, the longer he will
live; the farther he deviates from these,
the shorter will be his existence
Those who would render their chari-
ties useful should diffuse them judic-
iously. He who would have good crop
must SOW with his hand, and not from
out of the sack into one heap.
Self-respect is the foundation of char
acter and of progress. Break it down
and nothing valuable can be built upon
the ruins; establish it firmly, and no one
can tell how noble a structure of virtue
and happiness may not be raised.
Be good-natured first, last and always.
You will dicipline more effectively, teach
more successfully, be in better favor with
the parents, be more popular with the
committee, retain your health longer,
and be more attractive out of school as
well as in it.
1t is not the amount of knowledge
stored up in the memory that will de-
termine its value to life, but the way it
has been gained, the way it is held, the
effect it has produced and is producing
upon the thoughts and actions. If the
will is strong, the principles firm, the
courage high, the power of self-control
established, then whatever knowledge
there is, be it little or much, will be
turned into living force which will tell
upon the future work and life.-N. Y.
Ledger.
The men who accomplish the most
never seem in a hurry, no matter how
much they have to do. Everybody must
have observed that. They ere not
| troubled for lack of time, for they make
the most of the minutes by working in a
clear, cool, orderly and methodical fash
ion, finishing each task properly, and not
| wasting their nervous force on trifes or
expanding it in hustle. They never COM
plain of oyerwork. They are more likely
hunting up new work TO do, in order tn
give their faculties more var; ed employ.
ment and to exercise some which are
not sufficiently used.
