WISE WORDS.

Everywhere and always a mans
worth must be gagged to some ex-
tent, though only in part, by his DOM
esticity.
A laugh, to be joyous, must flow
from a joyous heart, for without kind
ness there can be no true joy.
Men of the noblest dispositions
think themselves happiest wnen 9th :
ers share their happiness with them.
A better thing than "hitching your
wagon to STAR" is to put your hand
in the hand that moves the star.
Only the brave know how to for
give; it is the most refined and gem
erous pitch of virtue human nature
can arrive it.
The failures of life come from rest
ing in good intentions, which are in
vain unless carried out in wise action.
