MAN.

Poetic Thoughts Concerning Him. Man passes away; his name perishes from record and recollection; liis history is as a tale that is told; and his very monument becomes a ruin. Washington Irving. To understand man, however, we must look beyond the individual man, and liis actions or interests, and view him in combination with his fellows.— Carlyle. Man is his own star, and that soul that can be honest is the only perfect man.— Beaumont and Fletcher. The scientific study of man is tho most difficult of all branches of knowledge.—Oliver Wendell Holmes. The man of wisdom is the man of years.— Young . Man whose He iven-erectcd face The smi.es of love adorn, Man's minima uity to man Makes countless thousands mourn. — Burns. stood I, O Nature! man alone in thee, 'Then were it worth one’s while a man to be. --Goethe. A man is the whole encyclopedia of facts. The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn, and Egypt, Greece, Rome, Gaul, Brita n, America lie folded already in the first man.—Emerson. Swell is man! in great affliction, he is elevated by the first minute; in great happiness, the most distant, sad one, even while yet beneath the horizon, casts him down.— Richter.

What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form, and moving, how express and admirable! in action, how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals!' And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Shak.speare. When faith is lost, when honor dies. Than man is dead. Whi I tier. Heading malceth a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.— Bacon. A man that is temperate, generous, valiant, chaste, faithful, and ho cost, may, at the same time, have wit, humor, good-breeding, mirth, and gallantry; while he exerts these latter qualities twenty occasions mignt l;e invented to show he is master of the other older virtues.— Steele. Ood, when heaven and earth He did create, Fo"lned man, who should of Lota ear.'ornate. —.v ■). Deal.a n. hi on are bur child:' nos a larrcr vinv .h; . i' appeuMw-are apt to obiing.^t .; ms.

Each breathes his day, Then sinks into his native clav. — Gay. Nobler birth Of creatures animate with gradual life Of gio vth, sense, reason, all summed up in man. The proverbial wisdom of the populace at gates, on roads, and in markets, instructs the attentive ear of him who studies man more fully than a thousand rules ostentatiously arranged.— Lavater. Man, though individually confined to a narrow spot on this globe, and limited, in his existence, to a few courses of the sun, has nevertheless an imagination which no despotism can control, and which unceasingly seeks for the author of his destiny through the immensity of space and the ever-rolling current of ages. — Colton. A medical journal states that the average Chinese baby weighs but five pounds. The journal did not state whether the Chinese baby’s capacity for squalling was less, in proportion to weight, than that of any other baby, but if they howl ru the Chinese language as loud as the American kid does in the Ln ted states language, how the poor mother must suffer. If any one has ever he r<? two Chinamen holding a convention hi their native tongue, they can readily see that a child who is just learuh.g to ! s i a few syllables in the Chino** i m-mige would make Home lunvl. —i (.< '.f San.
