WITH THE SAGES

'Hie nMw of a thing well done tfl to have done It. —Emerson. The best education in the world Is that got by struggling to get a living. —Wendell Phillips. In beginning th.e world, if you don’t wish to get chafed at turn, fold up your pride carefully, and put it under lock and key, and only let It out to air on grand occasions. It is a garment all stiff brocade outside, and all grating sackcloth on the side next to the skin. Even kings do not wear the dalmatic except at a coronation.— Bulwer. - Ask yourself as to every act you commit, within the circle of family or country: If what I now do were done by and for all men, would it be beneficial 1 or injurious to humanity? And if your conscience tells you it would be injurious, desist; desist even though it seem that an immediate advantage to your country or family would be the result.- —Earl Grey. It is startling when we realize for the first time that besides our personal lives>we all have our share in the general life; You cannot do anything by yourself. Your life, whether you rebel under the reflection or not,, is inextricably interwoven with the lives of everyone else, and what you are affects not only your own personality, but the personality of every group you come in contact with. Agnes Edwards. 9
