E who is too proud to 
 
 stoop will miss the fra- 
 grance of the flowers, the fla- 
 vor of the vine-born berries 
 and the delights of the cooling 
 spring by the wayside. 
 
HE richest poetical na- 
 
 tures may produce noth- 
 ing, because of that very 
 nature in them which dreams 
 and only dreams, unable to 
 creep along the dull level of 
 exertion. 
 
-ENTIMENTALITY 
 
 frequently causes us to 
 
 wait and hope, when we should 
 plan and act. 
 
VERY man needs a task- 
 
 master; if not some one 
 else, himself; if not himself, 
 his necessities. 
 
HE successful ones in the 
 
 battle of life are those 
 who recover quickest from 
 their fatigues, and press for- 
 ward. 
 
EING a daisy does not 
 
 save it from the sickle. 
 
HE blessing appreciated 
 is the one which has been 
 lost. 
 
F civilized men there are 
 a few; of nations, none. 
 
FIND man most interesting 
 when studied as an animal. 
 
AN is a creature feeding 
 
 greedily on that which 
 
 is freshest and sweetest in the 
 
 greensward of life, the while 
 
 trampling under his feet many 
 a tender floweret. 
 
NYWAY, man is only an 
 appetite; )and that ap- 
 petite an insanity. 
 
T takes darkness to develop 
 the demon in man. 
 
RESS is a civilizing stim- 
 
 ulant which may be over- 
 
 indulged in; but without dress 
 man is a savage. 
 
ARK the difference be- 
 tween intimacy and 
 friendship. 
 
HE greatest possible dis- 
 
 tance? It is that which  , 
 lies between a good/ woman) Vitae 
 anda bad woman. =~ 
 
MAN goes to the bad by 
 degrees; a woman all at 
 once. 
 
DUCATION is a bridg- 
 ing of the way. 
 
HE most enduring earthly 
 
 consolation is found in 
 religion; the next in friend- 
 ship, and close upon the latter 
 —in scholarship.

ACTS are old; it is put-

 that makes new eras. 
 
HE masses like to be led, 
 and therefore choose 
 leaders.
