To bk content with what we possess is the greatest and most secure of riches —Cicero. All great discoveries are made by men whose feelings run ahead of their thinkings. —Charles H. Parkhursb Confidence is a thing not to be produced by compulsion. Men cannot be forced into trust—Daniel Webster. Theme Is in every human countenance either, a history or a prophecy, which must sadden, or at least soften, every reflecting observer.— Coleridge. The most snblime psalm that can be heard on this earth is the lisping of a human soul from the lips of childhood.— Victor Hugo.
