WORDS OF WISDOM.

Peace hath more victories than strife. Gratitude is the rosemary of the heart. Suspicion is born either of envy or contempt. To be loved is pleasing, but to be honored is rarer. It Is not our poverty as often aa our pride that hurts. If practice costs no more than precept, to live were cheap. To borrow is no harm; the disgrace lies in forgetting you did. A sunny nature has he who can eat and be merry before noon. There is a vast hiatus ofttimes between laughter and mirth. Whining has a habit of defeating its own object Sorrow and pain are still. In order to conquer Hope, Time often has to cover her with many feet of earth. If we have an object In life the petty jealousies and gnat bites will pass unnoticed. A boy’s manners reflect his mother’s teaching, even as his morals do his ancestors’ living. A little maiden “playing house” gives a photograph of her mother’s domestic methods.—Philadelphia Record.
