word.-FULLER.

to refresh thy sorrows.-JEREMY TAY-
LoR.


Though all the winds of doctrine were
let loose to play upon the earth, so Truth
he in the field, we do ungenerOusly, by
licensing and prohibiting, to misdOubt
her strength. Let her and falsehOod
grapple; who ever knew Truth put to
her worst in a free and open encounter.
MILTON.


Be careful not 10 interrupt another
while he is speaking; hare him out and
you will understand him the better, and
be able to give him the better answer
SIR MATTHEW H.LE.


The covetous person lives as if the
world were made altogether for him
and not he for the world; to take in
everything, and to part with nothing.
Charity is accounted no grace with him,
nor gratitude any virtue. The cries of
the poor Il ever enter into his ears; or
if fthey do, he has always one ear reader
10 let them out than the other to take
them in. In word, by his rapines and
eXtortions he is always for making as
many poor rs he can, but for relieving
none for whom he either finds or makes
50. So that it is Il question whether his
heart be harder, or his fist closer. In &
word, ne is pest, and monesteri greedier
than the sea. and barrener than the
shore.-SOUTH.


Iu making friends, consider well first;
and when you are fixed, be true, not
wavering by reports nor deserting in
affection, for that becomes not the good
and virtuous.-PENN.


He who reads with discernment and
choice will acquire less learning, but
more knowledge and as his knowledge
is collected with design and cultivated
with art and method, it will be at all
times of immediate and ready use to
himself and rs.-BoLINGBROKE.


Industry is the natural sure way to
wealth this is so true, that it is inp0s-
sible an indutrious free people should
want the necessaries and comforts of
life, or an idle, enjoying them under
any form government. Money is so far
useful to the public as it promoteth in
dustry; and credit, having the same
effect, is Of the same value with money;
but money or credit circulating through
nation, from hand to hand, without
producing labor and industry in the in
habitants, il direct gaming.-BERKLE


In short, all projects for growing rich
by sudden and extraordinary method,
as they operate violently on the. passions
OF men, and encourage them to despise
the slow, moderate gains that are to be
made by an honest industry, must be
ruinoas to the public, and even the
winners themselves will at length be
involved in he public ruin.-BERKE-
LEY.


The power of doing good to worthy
objects is only enviable circumstances
in the lives of people of fortune.-RICH-
ARDsoN.


Written learning is a fixed luminary,
which after the cloud that has hidden it
has passed away, is again bright in its
proper station Tradition is but Il me-
teor which, if once it falls, can not be
rekindled.-DR. JOHNSON.


If civil society be made for the advan-
tage of man, all the advantages for
which it is made become his right. 1t
is an institution of beneiicence; and law
itself is only beneficence acting by rule.
Men have a right to live by the rule;
they have right to justice. They have
a right the fruits Of their industry,
and to the means of making their indus
try fruitful.-BURKE,
