GRAINS OF GOLD.

Wealth is not his who gets it, but his who enjoys it. If you want to be miserable, you should be selfish. Those who know most should still continue to learn. Man is a sort of tree which we are too opt to judge of by the bark. A hypocrite in the church is no better or worse than one anywhere else. Everywhere endeavor to be useful, and everywhere you will be at home. No man can leave a better legacy to the world than a well-educated family. Temperance is reason’s girdle and passion’s bridle, the strength of the soul and the foundation of virtue. After a man has received two favors in succession he begins to consider them part of his constitutional rights. What a vast deal of time and ease that man gains who is not troubled with an impertinent curiosity about others. Men spend their lives In the service of their passions, instead of employing their passions in the service of their lives. How numerous soever any man’s 111qualities. arp, It is Just that he should have the due praise of his few real .virtues.
