|mnter ——^ FOOD FOB THOUGHT. Never speak an idle word. Kindness gives birth to kindness. When you have nothing to say, say nothing. Let another’s shipwreck be your sea mark. Duty cannot be plain in two diverging paths. Early and provident fear is the moth er of safety. Better break thy word than do worse in keeping it. Never reproach a man with the faults of his relatives. All religion and all ethics are sum moned up in “Justice.” Bea philosopher; but amid all your philosophy be a man. The failure of one man is the oppor tunity of another. A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. Take heed and ponder well wliat that shall be. Of his understannding no one should be proud. Discrete wives have sometimes nei ther eyes not ears. All power of fancy over reason is a degree of insanity. Life without love can be borne, but life without honor, never. Divine Providence made the country, but human art the town. Free labor will give us wealth. Free thought will give us truth. He who pretends to be everybody’s particular friend, is nobody’s. No persons are more empty than those who are full of themselves. Half-witted people have a talent of talking much and saying little. If you do what you should not, you must hear what you would not. Young man, just entering into life, never be daunted by difficulties. Human foresight often leaves its proudest possessor only a choice of evils. The unwritten only still belongs to thee. Faithfulness and sincerity are the highest things. “Swift to bear, slow to speak,” is a good motto. From the lowest depths there is a path to the loftiest height. It is less painful to learn in youth than to be ignorant in old age. A man’s opinions all change except the good one he has of himself. A grave, wherever found, preaches a short, pithy sermon of the soul. We should not ask who is the most learned, but who is the best learned. There are few things more productive of evil in domestic life than a bad tem per. What is becoming is honest, and whatever is honest must always be be coming. Gold is, in its last analysis, the sweat of the poor, and the blood of the brave. Only those faults which we encounter in ourselves are insufferable to us in others. Challteng# the passing hours like guards that keep their solitary watch on tower and steep. To bring forward the bad actions of others to excuse our own, is like wash ing ourselvs in mud. The irresolute never prosecute their views so long as they have any excuse for delaying. The imprudent man reflects on what he has said; the wise man on what he is going to say. It is better to spend ones time in ac quiring knowledge than to waste it in parading what one has. Cultivate consideration of the feelings of other people, if yon would never have your own injured. Judge thyself with a judgment of sincerity, and thou wilt judge others with a judgment of charity. One solitary philosopher may he great, virtuous and happy in the depth of poverty, but not a whole people Persons who speak ill of themselves do so mostly as the surest way of prov ing how modest and candid they are. Things right in themselves are more likely to be hindered than advanced by an injudicious zeal for promoting them. Amongst men of the world comfort only signifies a great consideration for themselves, and a perfect indifference about others. A schoolmaster had great difficulty in making a boy understand his lesson. Finally he succeeded, and remarked, "if it wasn’t for me you would be the biggest dunkey in the town.” When you read of the shady groves and the sylvan dells, the hidden water falls, and cool forests, don’t get anxious. Let a dozen mosquitoes hop on to you and you’ll feel as if you were there. A Scotch professor once said to his class. “It may be expedient at some time to take a bull by the horns, young gentlemen, but it is always well to keep in mind the fact that the horns belong to the bull. A dandy once ordered a pair of panta loons to flit exceedingly close, and as the tailor was going, said after him. "Remember, now, they must be per fectly tight. If I can get into them, I shan’t take them.” Which will you do?—smile,and make others happy, or be crabbed, and make everyone around you miserable? The amount of happiness you can produce is incalculable if you show a smiling face and speak pleasant words. We should correct our own faults by seeing how uncomely they appear in others. Who will not abhor a choleric passion, and a saucy pride in himself, if he sees how ridiculous and contempti ble they render those who are infested with them. FALL MILLINERY !
