If we work upon marble, it will per ish—if we work upon brass, time will ► efface it—if we rear temples, they will crumble in to dust, but if we work up on immortal souls, if we imbue them with principles, with the just fear of * God and love to fellow men, we en grave on those tablets something which will brighten all eternity.—Daniel Webster. V The supreme happiness of life is the conviction of being loved for yourself or, more correctly, being loved in spite of yourself.—Victor Hugo. Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.—W ashington. Brilliant Evening Reception. Mr. and Mrs. S. O.
