MOSAICS.

Ambition is the evil shadow of aspiration.—George MacDonald. You become more the viler for dispraise.— Thomas a' Kempis. It takes a bold man to roll his own idea into the world.—A.*S’. All up-hill work when would do; all down hill when we suffer. — Bailey. No man is more miserable than he that hath no adversity.—- Jeremy Taylor. No life can be utterly miserable that is heightened by the laughter and love of one little child. ’ Youth is the tassel and silken flo'ver of love ; age is the full com, ripe and solid in the ear. Succbhb in like climbing a mountain, ’Tis hard to roach the tip-top ; Who would catch the bright gem of the fountain Muut watch for the water to drop. Education, begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him. — Locke. Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on year past misfortunes, of which all men nave some.— Charles Dickens. Some men with swordn may reap the field, And plant with laurela where they kill; But tbeir sti’ong nerves at last must yield ; They tame but one another atill. Though avarice will preserve a man from being necessitously poor, it generally makes him too timorous to be wealthy.—Thomas Baine. The best die and the cunning live. Courage goes ahead and scales the ramparts and falls in the ditch. Cowardice skulks and populates the earth. If he really thinks there is no distinction between virtue and vice, Why, sir, when he leaves our houses let us count our spoons.— Dr. Johnson. A good book and a good woman are excellent things for those who know justly how to appreciate their value. There are men, however, who judge of both from the beauty of the covering. Two tiling* thou nbult not long for, if thou lovo a mind nerene: A woman to thy wife, though *he were a crownod queen; And the weoond, borrowed money—though tho amiling lender Hay Thvthe will not demand the debt until tho judgment day. Emerson.
