cause for regret; whilst he who is endoW-
ed with an even gentle temper, quietly
accomplishes every work in perfect peace
and prudence. The former acts by tits or
starts and accomplishes little ornotlnng,
and pleases neither himself or Others. lie
soon regrets and reaps contempt. Inc
latter never ceases to toll, to earn, and
to gather an abundant harvest. HeWlns
the respect, good will and admiration OF
all.
2O3. Few things are richer, surer, or
more profitable than experience. which
is q treasure that is not acquired III
few days. When once secured, 1T ought
to be employed without boast and with
cautious gratitude. Study. observation
and COUNSEL may aid us to become pos
SCISSORS of it, but keen, careful and con
slant work and the patient REPETITION OF
Che same thing will. as a rule make us
experienced in our business
2O4. When trials are many, crosses
heavy, and misfortune crushing, and
clouds still growing darker and thicker
over you, when the earth seems barren
meath your feet and friends begin to fail
on all sides and utter want threatens
you, and all appears lost, then more
than ever trust i'll God and say; with
job: My Lord, will not despond; | am
protected by Thy Providence; Thee alDne
will 1 servel A friend of God can never
perish. Each day brings trials in it's
train; but, each day is supplied with
sufficient grace to endure those trials for
God.
2O5. OF two men equal in all respects
the corteous, polite, obliging one has
assuredly the greater chance for success
and fortune All hsarts willcling around
him, end all hands will help him; whilst
the selfish, proud, naughty, unapproach-
able one will be severely left alone; and
on him fortune will but rarely smile, and
only through mistake.
2O6. Gods kindness is as limitless, as
infinite as is His justice. SO that, what
ever our past may have been, we may
view the future with flial confidence,
knowing that the veil which covers
futurity is woven by the hand OF mercy,
like the veil that for ever hides the past.
Our Heavenly Father will never reject
the prodigal who returns to Him with
an humble and contrite heart. This
thought, far from encouraging the wick
ed to multiply their sins, through pre-
sumption. should on the contrary essss
eide them to abandon the paths of error
for those OF love and fidelity.
207. Life is but a frail, short bridge
thrown across the wings of feeting
time from one of eternity's shore to the
other. Coming from the hands OF the
great Creator, our Beginning, we must
glide over that bridge cautiously, in
order that after the brief space of our
lives, we may reach unstained the feet
ard throne OF our loving Father-our
End
2OS Tie strongest and safest garrisons
for kings and kingdoms, presidents and
Republics are religion, faith, morality,
fidelity to God. Such offer the securest
shelter aud protection to their subjects.
Justice and virtue raise and glorify the
nations, whilst infidelity and vice lead
them to decline, misery and ruin. Pros
perity is flower that never dourishes
on corruption.
200. Ignorance is q great misfortune,
and want of education constitutes con-
slant state of poverty. 1t is better for
parents to bequeath to their children a
sound education than large fortune.
Learning says writer, is wealth to the
poor, honor to the rich, aid to the young
and comfort to the aged.
