Repartee is the highest order of wit.
Every act which tends to annihiiate

Anability. mildness, tenderness and a
word which would fain bring back to

mean good nature-are of daily usa
They are the bread of mankind and
stan Of life.
That proof of genius OF which we so
often hear-carelessness about trifes,
while rejoicing in a vaulting. brilliant
style of mind, is but proof of a perverse
heart neglecting its duty because of
tiresome details
II is much to be regretted that habits
of exact observation are not cultivated
in our schools. To this deficiency may
be traced much of the fallacious rea-
soning. the false philosophy which pre-

There is a burden of care in getting
riches, fear in keeping them, temptation
