Sentiments for the Serious.

From the American Magazine
There is tide in the affairs of coeduca-
ton which, taken at the flood, leads
straight to matrimony.
Money talks and stops talk.
Some orators have a fine command of
other mems language.
Any one can be a power for evil-it
takes character to be power for good.
The fact that some one else does it Is
society's excuse.
Certain men are determined te, get their
share of what does not belong to them.
You can lead a man to college, but you
cannot make him think.
You can fool every one save God-and
yourself.
~ man always with his eyes on the
gi ound bumps his head: man with his
nose always in the air stubs his toe
= When he can wear his left shoe on his
right foot your pessimist will be pleased
Talk is not always cheap.
Money is not always the balance of
power, gentlemen. There are those scales
in which an ounce of integrity is worth Il
gold mine.
Dignity carried to excess is malady.
