A MAN sbould always have this rule
in readiness: To change thy opinion, if
there be any one at hand to set thee
right, and move thee from any opinion;
but this change of opinion must proceed
only from a certain persuasion as of
what is just or of common advantage or
the like, not because it appears pleasant
or brings reputation.

As soon as we grow self satisfied and
content with what we know and do and
are, we cease to advance. Whatever
change shakes us out of this false Sc
curity, shows us our deficiencies, associ-
ates us with our superiors in action OF
in character, and inspire us to greater
exertion is real blessing, through
whatever disguise of temporary pain OF
modification it may appear.

WHEN we think of the many and
widely differing relations of life we sus
tain and the consequent various duties
devolving upon us, we feel somwhat be-
wildered at the amount of knowledge
of many kinds that seems essential. But
time is short and our powers are limit
ed, so we must be satisfied with thor
oughness in one department and only
a moderate proficiency in many Others.

HE who would do some great thing in

MEN of learning who take to business
discharge it with greater honesty than
men of the world; because the former,
in reading, have been used to find vir

IT'S quitting work for tho purpose Of en-.
