Just praise is a debt, but flattery
is a present.
The hours of a wise man are length
ened bv his ideas ; those ol a tool by
liis passions.
Never praise yourself with com
plaints which may be applied to o-
thers with more advantage.
When you fall into a man’s con
versation, the first thing you should
consider is, whether he has a great
er inclination to hear you, than that
you should hear him.
No man heartily hates him at
whom lie can laugh.*
Light sorrows speak—great grief
is dumb.
Never use unnecessary proofs in
an indisputable point.
Better one thorn pulled out, than
all remain.
He who is a troublesome compa
nion to himself, will never be an a-
greeable one to others.
A man should never be too much
addicted to any one thing.
Express your sentiments with bre
vitv.
A man’s first care should be to a-
void the reproach of his own heart—
his next to escape the censure of the
world.
If a great deal of knowledge is not
capable of making a man wise, it
has a natural tendency to make him
vain and arrogant.
Every person should obtain, if pos
sible, a disposition to be pleased.
An ingenious mechanic, who em
ploys his time in constructing puppet
shows, is like Swilt making riddles.
If I am to suffer I would rather it

bv lord Somerville, who observes—
“These sheep are different from any
other breed in the color of the fleece ;
there is a dark brown tinge on the
surface of the best fleeces, which is
formed by dust adhering to the grea
sy and yolkey properties of its pile.
The harder the fleece, the finer the
wool. It appears knotted and curled
close to the body. The mai**s hav

Col. Humphreys describes two
distinct species of sheep in Spain.
“ One is called Merinos, famous for
their fine wool ; the other is called
Churros, distinguished for their
coarse, and bad wool. The head of
the Merino appears larger than our
common sheep—their ears very
small—their eyes bright—the horns
are curved in a spiral turn—the neck
short—the chest broad—the body,
face, and legs, are covered with a de
