An old Indian manuscript dating from
the 6nys OF Alexander the Great, con-
Trims the following translated proverbs,
which. according to London Answers
may be read with profit by women Oh
the twentiet, century.
whatsoever thou resolvest to do, DO
IL quickly; defer not till the evening
what the morning may accomplish
..Endeavor TO be first in thy calling
whatever It be; neither let any one go
before thee in welldoing; nevertheless DO
not envy the merits of another, put I'M
prove thine own talents.
Boast not myself, for 1t shall bring
contempt upon thee; neither deride an
other, for 1t Is dangerous,
..T'he foolish is not always unfortunate,
MOI, the vvise ALWAYS surcessfnl: vet never
had the foolish thorough enjoyment and
never was the wise wholly unhappy.
"a noble spirit disdaineth the malice
of fortune; such greatness of soul is
not to be cast down. Such an one hath
not suffered happiness TO derend on her
smiles. and therefore with her frowns Is
not dismayed.
1.-THE poor seeth not the vexations and
anxieties OF the rich. she feeleth not the
difficulties and pcrplexities of power.
neither knoweth the wearisomeness of
leisure; and therefore 1t IS that she re-
p,neth at her lot, Envy not, therefore
the appearance of happiness III any,
FOR thou knoweth not the burden of an
others secret griefs.'
