shape and looking well for the season. A
good crop of tobacco in barns, but not all

A fruitful source Of alteration, criticism,
and i'll feeling is the careless and superb
cial way In which we look at and into each
other. We see in our cursory glance what
is obvious and on the surface, especially
the faults which annoy as or the manner
which displeases rs. But we fail to see
into the depths OF the heart and soul; and
thus our judgments are shallow and crude.
The weakest living creature, by concen-
trating his powers on single object. can
accomplish something. The strongest, by
disposing Of his over many, may fail to &C
complish anything. The drop, by coniin-
ually falling, bores its passage through the
hardest rock. The hasty torrent rushes
over it with hideous uproar and leaves no
trace behind.
The sure foundations of the State are laid
in knowledge, not in ignorance; and every
sneer at education, at culture, at book
learning, which Is the recorded wisdom of
the experience Of mankind, Is the dema-
gogue's sheer at intelligent liberty, invit-
ing national degeneraey and ruin.
Nature is an absolute and jealous divin-
ity. Lovely, eloquent and instructive in
all her inequalities and contrasts, she hides
her face and remains mute to those who,
by attempting 70 refashion her, profane
her.
A moral agent is being that is capable
of those actions that have a moral signifi.
canoe, and which can properly be denom-
mated good or evil In q moral sense. viz
tuous or vicious, commendable or faulty.

Hottest mountain peaks; and 50 the deep
discomfort OF the humble millions breaks
through the mountain minds OF their great
leaders.
have four good reasons for being an alb
stainer: my head Is clearer, my health Is
better, my heart is lighter. and my purse
is heavier.
Stupid people, who do not know how to
laugh, are always pompous and sels-con-
ceited; that Is, ungentle, uncharitable, un-
christian.
