proportions. * . .
She had amused .herself fey leading her tor

sir.” The man made a pause, but not compre
hending what was said to him, continued his ’
narrative. His Honor was then more explicit,
and said to him, “Speak to the jury, sir—the

then turned around, and making an awkward

* For twenty three years old Jake WillaVd has

drawn therefrom a support for himseli'and wite°

If anything in the world will make a man
’ feel badly, except pinching his fingers in. the
“.crack of a door, it is a quarrel. No rilan fails
to think less of himself after, than he did be
fore ; it degrades him in the e°yes pi others,
•and what is worse, tends to blunt his sensibili-°
ties ar.d increases his irritability. The truth
is that the more peaceably and quietly we get
on, the better for our neighbors. In nine ea
ses out of ten the better course is, if°a man
cheats you, to quit dealing with him; if he is
abusive, quit his company j if he slanders you,
take care to live down his slanders. Let such
persons alone; for there is nothing better- than
this way of dealing with those who injure us.—•
