ifbe fmnter Republican. —— —, POOD FOB THOUGHT. The devil is an ass. No great men are original. To be great is to be understood. Duties are ours, events are God’s. Beauty is its own excuse for being. An inevitable dualism bisects nature. This is the drop which balance the sea. What belongs to you gravitate to you. Cut these words and they would bleed. Women and music should never be dated. Hope is the dream of those who are awake. And fired the shot heard round the world. Confidence generally inspire confi dence. People do not lack strength; they lack will. I hold him to be dead in whom shame is dead. Injure not another’s reputation or business. Venture not upon the threshold of wrong Great believers are always reckoned nfidels. Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. Every man is a quotation from all his ancestors. No physician can heal the wounds of the tongue. Perseverance is the best school for manly virtue. Do you love me? means do you see the same truth. Talentmakes counterfeit ties; genius finds real ones. He is the greatest who chooses to do right at all times. He who prays for his neighbor will be heard for himself. Let not modesty take away the cour age in a good cause. Ostentation and good learning are seldom met together. Happiness is something to hope for, and something to love. Every man is occasionally what he ought to be perpetually. When you bury animosity never mind putting up a tombstone. The winner is he who gives himself to his work body and soul. A grand safeguard for doing 1 ight is to hate all that is wrong. Vanity is, to wish to livelong, and to be careless to live well. Covetousness is a sort of metal glut tony, feeding on selfishness’ Live by the day, you will have daily trials, and strength according. Concession is no humiliation, nor admission of error any disgrace. Honesty may be the best policy, but many people prefer a paid-up one. The oil lamp in the temple burns away in giving light; so should we. Faith builds the bridge of prayer that spans the chasm of human need. Poverty may excuse a shabby coat, bat it is no excuse for Bliabby morals. Acts, looks, words, steps, form the alphabet by which you spell character. Let no one overbad you with favors; you will find it an insufferable burden. Character is reserved force which acts directly by presence and without means. If evil be said of thee, and it be true, correct thyself; if it be a lie laugh at it. The exercise of the will has very much to do in determining our physical condition. Strength with men is insensibility, greatness is pride, and calmness is in difference. Men say more evil of women than they think; it is contiary with women toward men. Pleasure is the mere accident of our being, and work its natural and most holy necessity. Idleness is hard work to those who are not used to it, and hard work for those who are. Leisure is sweet to those who have earned it, but burdensome to those who get it for nothing. As there is nothing in the world great but man, there is nothing truly great in man but character. Love of truth shows itself in discov ering and appreciating what is good, wherever it may exist. The men who do things naturally, slowly, deliberately, are the men who oftenest succeed in life. The covetous man is as much de prived of what he has as of what he has not, for he enjoys neither. The essence of knowledge is having it to apply it—not having it merely to confess your ignorance. The first book read, and the last book laid aside by every child, is always the conduct of its parents. Be deaf co the quarrelsome, blind to the scorner, and dumb to those who are mischievously inclined. Gratitude is a word that you will find in dictionaries, but you will not find much of it anywhere else. Let men laugh when you sacrifice desire to duty, if they will. You have time aud eternity to rejoice in. Success in society are the mobt diffi cult of accomplishment —you have to sacrifice your vanity to other people’s. Rendering good for good, he is the most generous who begins; rendering evil for evil, he most unjust who begins. Our good deeds rarely cause much go3Bip among our neighbors, but our evil ones leap immediately into noto riety. . It is always a sign of poverty of mind when men are ever aiming to appear great; ttaw who are really great never seem to know it. Dr. Eldridge’s Drug Store. LICHT. LIGHT. LIGHT! LIGHT. LIGHT.
