WORDS OF WISDOM.

There Is no doubt of the essential no
bility of the man who pours into life
the honest vigor of his toll above those
who compose the featherfoam of
fashion. who consider the insignia OF
honor Ia consist in wealth and indo
lcncc. and who. ignoring the family
history, paint coats-of-arms to cover
up the leather aprons of their grand
fathers
Nothing is moro fatal to success than
discOuragcm The discouraged
man lmpurts his mood to others. and
thus it spreads like n contagon. 1t Is
better not to display the feeling of
depression, even if it cannot he who'll
ly cNpunged from the mind.
The good we do. whether in practi
cal activity or simply in right think
ing, is all of it, in some measure, use
ful To those around us. But it is &c
less useful to ourselves. and even
from that point of view we cannot
do too much of it,
The human heart is like graphic
phone cylinder. and the sweetest rec.
ords are often cut by the stylus of
pain.
Hope is flatterer, but the most up
right of all parasites, for she frequents
the poor mans hut, as well as the
palace of his superiors.
Human nature can only stand Ger.
tain strain, and social rudeness
stretches this elasticity to its utter
most limit, if not beyond it,
1t Is one thing 10 wish to have truth
on our side, and another thing to wish
to be on the side of truth.
The rarest feeling that ever lights
human face is the contentment Of
a loving soul

alton from the track of human duties
leads.
In general, every evil to which we
do not succumb is tenefactor.
There Is no genius in life like ile
