If lueif would hate themselves as they do their neighbors, it would be a good step toward loving their neighbor as they do themselves. Those who dejend on the merits of their ancestors are like those who seek at the roots of a tree to find the fruits which only the branches can produce. The essence of the true nobility is neg lect of self. Let ths thought of self pass in and the beauty of a great action is gone like the bloom a soiled flower. An evil mind will be sure to put the worst construction on another’s actions. But a mind full of charity will put on them the best construction they will bear. God will excuse our prayers for our selves, whenever 'we are prevented from them by being occupied by such good wo-iks as will entitle us to the prayers of others. Ifyou Tiate your enemies you will con tract such a vicious habit of mind as by de grees will breakout upon those who are your friends or those who are indifferent to you. In all evils which admit a remedy, im patience should be avoided, because it wastes that time and attention in com plaints which, if properly applied, might remove the cause. The frost which nips the foliage of the mulberry tree kills the silk worm cradled in its leaves; so Christian calamity blight your bowers of case, but it can not destroy you. Without an Enemy.—No man cun dodge onemiea by trying to please ev erybody. If such an individual ever succeeded, we should be glad of it — not that one should be going through the world trying to find the beams to knock and thump against, disputing every man’s opinion, lighting ami el bowing, and crowding all who differ from him. That, again, is another ex treme. Other people have their opin ion, so have you; don't tall into the error of supposing that tiny will ru speet you more for turning your eoat everyday to match theirs. Wear your own colors in spite of wind or weather nforiu or sunshine. It costs the irres olute an I vacillating ten times more th.
