A YOUNG man idle, an old man needy.
MAKE not your sail too large for your
ship.


ATTEMPT not too hastily, nor pursue
too eagerly.


Be like a spring lock, reader to shut
than to open.


THE best lessons man ever has are his
mistakes.
APPREHENSION of evil is often worse
than the evil itself


ADVERSELY willingly undergone is the
greatest virtue


AN honest employment is most excel
lent patrimony.


THE sternest irony of fate may lie in
the fulfillment of our wishes.
ALWAYS be ready to speak your mind,
and base man will avoid you.


THE rays of happiness, like those of
| light, are colorless when unbroken.


CONFINEMENT is of great value that it
can never be dearly purchased.
| HUMAN nature is equal to all the emer-
gencies of human history.


MANY mans vices have at the first
been nothing else than good qualities run
wild.


HopE is like bad clock, forever strik-
ing the hour of happiness, whether it has
come or not.


To be very attractive to all sorts of diff
ierent people, one must have great readi-
ness of sympathy.


AN industrious and virtuous education
| of children is better. Inheritance for
them than great estate.


MINDS of moderate caliber are too apt
| To ;o,, ora avarvtbincr that does nOt come
within their own range.


ANY one may do a casual act of good
nature; but continuation of them shows
ii part of the temperament


IT is higher exhibition of Christian
manliness to be able to bear trouble than
to get rid of it.-Beecher.


No man deserves to be praised for his
goodness unless he has strength of char
acter to be wicked.-La ROehJoucauM.


If, saws Lamennais, earnest convic-
tions were not obstructed by organized
facts, the world would go to pieces in a
month.


A PROMISE should be given with eau
tion and kept with care. 1t should be
made with the heart and remembered by
the head


LET the simple soul extend, unimpeded,
its fiery energy. The immortal heart should
be the leader; but let all your eyes look
upward. d.-ZOrOaster.


THERE are no words so fine, no flattery
so soft, that there is not sentiment be-
yond them that is impossible to express,
Of the bottom of the heart where true
love is.


He whose wishes respecting the posses
sions of this world are the most reasona-
BILE and bounded, is likely to lead the
safest, and, for that reason, the most de-
sirable life,


THERE is no such thing as a menial
Office when you put true man into it.
A menial office is an office with mean
man in it; and il makes no difference
whether it is Kings office or a scaven-
gers office,


IN speaking of the delights of knowl-
edge, Lord Bacon has truly said, :" In all
other pleasures there is safety; but of
knowledge there is no safety, for satis-
faction and appetite are perpetually inter-
changeable."
IHAvE the highest opinion of the value
of ruling passion; but If il monopolizes
the whole man, it requires that the OBJ
iect be very comprehensive or a very
= dignified one TO save him from being RI
diculous.-J Foster.
Be not ashamed of your belief, what
ever II is. If your convictions are un-
I popular the only way to command re-
9 spect for them is, when occasion requires,
= to stand up and defend them earnestly,
! as you would dear friend.-Etm OrI0u'
