FOOD FOB THOUGHT.
The breath of prayer comes from the
life of faith.
Make your pudding according to
your plums.
Be not all rake nor all fork, all
screw nor all cork.
If you say nothing, nobody will re
peat it.
Do not blow hot and'cold with the
same breath.
Ingratitude is abhorred by God and
man.
Publish your joys, but conceal your
sorrows.
Vain glory is a flower which never
comes to fruit.
Much learning shows how little mor
tals know.
Experience and wisdom are the best
fortune-tellers.
A good friend is better than a near
relation.
Boast not yonr wisdom; Satan knows
more than you.
If the love of God sets us at work,
the God of love will find us wages.
To desire happiness is natural; to
desire holiness is supernatural.
Duties fulfilled are always pleasures
to the memory.
Choose those companions who ad
minister to your improvement.
He confers a double kindness on a
poor man if he gives quickly.
Win good opinions by acting out
your professions.
Thought is valuable property to him
who understands its use.
Be on your guard against rushing
from one fault to another.
Wise men exhibit wisdom by con
sidering the mistakes of fools.
If one live not according to his
knowledge, life is of no avail.
In success there is contentment, and
in contentment happiness.
Indulge in reasonable argument; seek
not to win by foolish palaver.
Strive to win the approbation of
men by a consistent course of action.
Beware of what you say to others,

Avoid procrastination. There is no

The future may be made secure by
embracing the opportunity of the pres

Diligence, combined with an under

Bepresent faithfully your claims to

There are none so low but what they
have their triumphs. Small success
ses suffice for small souls.
It is in general more profitable to
reckon up our defeats than to boast of
our attainments.
The silence that accepts merit as the
most natural thing in the world is the
highest applause.
Danger continually lurks in the liar’s
path, which, if not abandoned, surely
leads to destruction.
Think of the fearful uncertainty
which hangs over your future course in
life. Resolve now, determine now, act
now.
Have compassion for the distresses
and failures of others; you can not yet
determine what your own future will
be.
A man’s chief concern should be to
avoid the reproaches of his own con
science; his next to elude the condem
nation of bis fellows.
We all dread a bodily paralysis, and
would make use of every contrivance
to avoid it, but few of us are troubled
about a paralysis of the soul.
This life is not ordained in vain; it
is constituted for a grand purpose, if
through its lessons of experience we
become convinced that this life is for
all.
What men want is not talent, it is
purpose; in other words, not the pow
er to achieve but will to labor. I be
lieve that labor judicious and continu
ously applied becomes a genious.
Much talk and much judgment sel
dom go together, for talking and think
ing are two different qualities, and
there is commonly more depth where
there is less noise.
If the beautiful and good are not al
ways united, we can only say that
they ought to be so, for they belong to
each other as the blossoms and the
fruit.
To say that a man is advanced too
high to condescend to teach the igno
rant, is as much as to say that the sun
is in too high a place to shine upon
what is below him.
It is a thing morally impossible for
persons proud and ambitious to frame
their minds to an impartial, unbiased
consideration of a religion that teaches
nothing but self-denial and the cross.
Some of our finest exotics have been
imported from barren deserts —some of
our noblest ideas have been the off
spring of an uncultivated mind.
Let no one thifik that he alone has
dark hours. They are the common lot
of humanity. They are the touch
stone to try whether we are current
coin or not.
What a freshness and flavor is there
upon the soul when daily watered with
the actions of a true and virtuous life.
Whatsoever is pure, is also pleasant.
Habits, whether good or bad, are
easily formed when one is young, but
when one gets up in years it is very
difficult and often dangerous to set
them aside.

AUGUSTA, GA.
The Chronicle and Constitutionalist
is rapidly approaching the completion of the
first century of existence. The paper we
publish is essentially a type of modern prog
ress, which demonstrates that this establish
ed journal has become better and stronger
as it increases in years. The men who have
from one generation to another, worked
upon it, and helped to make it a power in
the land, submit, and will submit, to the
common lot of humanity and pass away from
this earth and its struggles, but the rosult
of their labor remains, and will continue to
remain. The workmen die, but the work
goes on.
The Chronicle of to-day is an improve
ment upon the Chronicle of the past. The
Chronicle of the future will be an im
provement upon the Chronicle of to day.
The world moves, and the paper moves with
it. Wonderful inventions, in the last half
century', have given an impetus to all mate
rial things, ana the press bas shared in the
advantages of great discoveries, just as it
has also stimulated them. The Chronicle
has spared no pains or expense to furnish
the public with the news of the day from
all parts of the world, and it will take pleas
ure and pride in perfecting this service from
time to time. The Chronicle has endeav
ored to take high and noble views of public
policy, and to sustain all good and just
causes.
The Chronicle has essayed to encourage
virtue and to make the lot of man and wo
man all the brighter and better for the com
mon weal. The Chronicle strives to be a
newspaper in the bestsense of the term,and
to advance, in that mission, the interests of
all the people. The conductors of the paper
cannot ana do not expect to be infallible
any more than they expect to please every
body. In all human affairs mistakes of
judgement will occur and contests of opin
ion will arise We will, however, mightily
strive to commit as few errors as possible,
and to enter such conflicts as cannot be
avoided with a proper spirit.
The Chronicle enters the new year with
exceptional advantages. Its daily edition is
a well-filled eight-page paper. Its second
edition, for the evening mails, is eight pages,
with the afternoon markets and telegraphic
reports. It takes the place of the tri-weekly
edition. Its mammoth weekly paper will
compare with any in the country. Into this
edition the choicest and creamiest news of
the week is collected, and upon its lap the
best and freshest editorial and miscellane
ous matter from the daily is poured. Its
market reports, covering nearly one page,
will be an especial feature, prepared each
week for the country reader.
Its news service will be sustained by train
ed and scholarly correspondents in the three
capitals—Atlanta, Columbia aud Washing
ton—while it will strive to have a news rep
resentative in every neighboring town.
The mail facilities of this paper are now
superb. Four daily trains distribute its edi
tions in South Carolina and three in Georgia,
It reaches all the principal points in South
Carolina early on the day of publication
reaching Columbia at 11 A. M. The fast
mail schedule of the Georgia Railroad lands
the Chronicle and Constitutionalist in
all towns along the line early in the fore
noon, while its issue is unfolded in Atlanta
and Athens by noon each day.
