Employment, which Galen calls " Nature's physician," is so essential to human happiness, that indolence is justly considered the mother of misery.

The more honesty a man has, the less he affects the air of a saint; the affectation of sanctity is a blotch on the face of piety.

The worthiest people are the most injured by slander, as we usually find that to be the first fruit which the birds have been pecking at.

It is always a sign of poverty of mind when men are ever aiming to appear great, for they who are really great never seem to know it.

The test of wisdom is the happiness it produces.

All deceit carries with it a punishment.

Depreciate no one-every atom has a shadow.

There are wounds of self-love which one does not confess to one's dearest friends.

Humility is a virtue we all preach, none practise, and yet everybody is content to hear about. The master thinks it a good doctrine for his servant, the laity for the clergy, and the clergy for the laity.

The true preacher speaks eloquently because his soul is filled with truth; the merely talented preacher seeks out truths that he may speak eloquently about them.— Fenelon.

It was said by a former King of Prussia, that as we are intellectually blind, that Deity lent us religion as a stick to guide us on our way; but instead of using it as heaven intended, we began to belabour each other with it.

Science, the partisan of no country, but the beneficent patroness of all, has liberally opened a temple where all may meet. Her influence on the mind, like that of the sun on the chilled earth, has long been preparing it for higher cultivation and further improvement. The philosopher of another: he takes his seat in the temple of science, and asks not who sits beside him.

Believe me, there is many a road into our hearts besides our ears and brains; many a sight, and sound, and scent, even of which we have never thought at all, sinks into our memory, and helps to shape our characters; and thus children brought up among beautiful sights and sweet sounds will most likely show the fruits of their nursing by thoughtfulness, and affection, and nobleness of mind, even by the expression of the countenance. Those who live in towns should carefully remember this, for their own sakes, for their wives' sakes, for their children's sakes. Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful. Beauty is God's handwriting a wayside sacrament; welcome it in every fair face, every fair sky, every fair flower, and thank for it Him, the fountain of all loveliness, and drink it in simply and earnestly, with all your eyes: it is a charmed draught, a cup of blessing. -Politics for the People.

THE END.
