MAN KIND.

we tnlnk we are playing on or
binary organs when we play
upon man. Men are organs in
deed. but fantastic. changeable
and various. with pipes not ar
ranged in due succession. Those
who understand only how to play
an ordinary organ make no har-
monies on these.
When we are too young our
judgment is at fault; so also
when we are too old
He that considers his work so
soon as it leaves his hands is
prejudiced in its favor. He that
delays his survey too long can
not regain the spirit of it.
If we take not thought enough
or too much on any matter we
are obstinate and infatuated.
1t is not well to be too much
at liberty. 1t is not well to
have all that we want.
The nature OF man is not al
ways to go forward. 1t has its
advances and retreats. Fever
has its hot and cold fits, and
the cold proves as well as the
hot how great is the force Of
the fever.
The strength Of a mans vir-
tue must not be measured by
his occasional effort. but by his
ordinary life.-Pascal.

among his friends OH board over the
meaning back of his statement that

Wilson was merely referring to the
fact that future generations would
judge his actions. and that he did not
intend to convey tho impression which
was gained by his audience that he
might be Il candidate again for the
presidency.
Others OF his friends pointed out that
he evidently realized. because. OF tho
cheering. tho construction that had
been placed on his words, and yet he
did not correct the impression beyond
saying 81 didn't intend to start any
