the two countries. and some years ago.
when the poStofflce was q general

in one country and delivered in an
other without ever having gone out
from under the roof of the old struc-

THOUGHTS.

The contented man is generally the
Industrious man.
No one can live without being a
debtor. No one should live without
being a creditor
Those whom enjoyment unites are
easily separated; not so easily those
whom sorrow unites.
The wise man makes men first weep
and then laugh. The fool makes men
first laugh, and then weep.
God knows what we do not know
this is our consolation. We know not
what God knows; this is our hope.
Want of faith springs from too
much knowledge; want of love, from
too little; want of hope, from both.
A mans integrity may stand in the
way of his success in small matters;
his lack of integrity will stand in his
way for success in great matters.
