WORDS OF WISDOM.

Politeness is a kind of anaesthetic
which enNelops the asperities of our
character, SO that other people be not
wounded by them. We should never be
without it, even when we contend with
the ruGe.--Joubert.
The most commonplace people be-
come highly imaginative when they are
in passion. Whole dramas of insult,
injury and wrong pass before their
minds-efIorts of creative genius, for
there is sometimes not fact to go upon.
Helps.
There are two ways of attaining an
important end-force and perseverance.
Force fal', to the lot only of the priv
ileged few, but austere and sustained
perseverance can be practiced by the
most Insignificant. It's silent power
grows irresistible with time. - Mime.
Swetchine.
1t is always hard to go beyond your
public. Ii they are satisfied with cheap
performance, you will not easily arrive
at better. If they know what is good
ard require it, you will aspire and burn
until you achieve it. But from time to
time, in history, men are born a whole
age too soon.-Emerson.
