CHOICE EXCERPTS.
THERE are some solitary wretche

and good without the world being tn
better for it.
WE can only have the highest happi
ness by having wide thoughts and a
much feeling for the rest of the world a
for ourselves.
To believe Alright is much; to act VI
to ones belief is more; while he VIII,
does both joyfully manifests the spiri

SILENCE is the highest wisdom of
fool, and speech is the greatest trial o
a wise man. If one would be wise lie
his words show him so.
THE large proportion of sins commit

NOTHING dies-not even life, whicl

PRIDE, ill-nature and want of sense

EMERSON says: ''The will of the pure

lures, as water runs down from a higher

is most noble; and a gravity proceeding
from dullness and mere incapability OF
enjoyment, which is most base.

BILE than the rest, other men are happy
in respect to thee, their miseries are but
flea billings to thine, thou alone art un-

should come and bring their grievances
