Tit-Bits.

Like flakes of snow that fall unpoi cvivod upon the earth, the seemingly unimportant events of life bucceed one another. - Jeremy Bentham Ci^SS !* A good conscience is a port which is landlocked on every side, and whrre no winds 'an possibly invade, no tempest can arise. There a man may ataud upon the shore, and not only Pee his own image, but that of hit) Maker. — Dryden. There is a kind of false modesty which is vanity ; a false grandeur, which is meanness ; a false virtue, which is hypocrisy ; a false wisdom, which is ignorance. — La Bruyere. Although it is of consequence to the debilitated to go early to bed, there are few things more hurtful to them thau remaining in it too long. Getting up an hour or two too early often gives a degree of vigour which nothing else can procure. For those \rho are not debilitated and sleep well, the best rule is to get out of bed soon after waking in the morning. Lying late is not only hurtful, by the relaxation it occasions, but also by occunying that part of the day at which exercise is most beneficial. — Dr. Wilson Philip. Whatever is obtained by deceit cheats no man but the getter. Choose ever tho plainest road ; it always answers best. — Harmston. Follow the sound principle of having " your wants within your means. — Sir. R. feel. For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight. He can't be wrong whose life is in the right. — Dryden. A man who is bound continually in the trammels of daily work is like one on a treadmill who cannot reach out his hand to frasp the hand of a friend. He is like a ttle child, who, however much he loves his father, cannot be consoious of any great flow of love while the little mind is absorbed in doing a sum in arithmetic. If men's minds are occupied from morning to night with the miserable arithmetic of how to make the two ends meet, they cannot admit into their hearts, or at least be conscious of tho love of God, -which is the very life of the soul. — Robert P. Horton. " When thou art married," says aPersian poet, " seek to please thy wife ; but listen not to all she says. From man's right side a rib was taken to form the woman, and never was there Keen a rib quite straight And wouldst thou straighten it ? It breaks, but bends Dot. Since then 'tis plain that crooked ia woman's temper, forgive her faults, and blame her not ; nor let her anger theo, nor coercion use, us all is vain to strengthen what a curved." Give to children, and, for that matter, to grown persons, normal foodt — grains and fruits and vegetables — simply oooked, which have in them the requisite materials for maintaining the human body in good flenh and health, and a breakwater is built up to the ocean of drunkenness, against which its -waves shall dash in vain. — Vegetariau Messenger. Thou hast already more " religion " than thou inakeot use of. This day thou knoweat ten commanded duties — seest in thy mind ten commanded duties for one thou doest. Do one of them ; this of itself shall show thee ten others which can and shall be done — Carlyle. "It ia restraint," says Rualrin, "whioh is honourable to man, not his liberty ; and, what is more, it is restraint which is honourable, even in the lower animals. A butterfly is more free than a bee, but you honour the bee more, because it is subject to certain laws which fit it for orderly functions in bee society.'-' Wit is brushwood, judgment timber ; the one gives the greatest flame, the other the greatest heat, and both meeting make the b3»t fire. — Sir Thomas Overbury. A fruitful source of altercation, criticism, and ill-feeling is the careless and superficial way in which we look at and into each other. We see in our cursory glance what is obvious and on the hurfuue, especially the faults which annoy us or the manner which displeases us. But we fail to see into the depths of heart and soul ; and thus our judgments are shallow aud crude. Men find it more eauy to flatter than to praise. — Bichter. Beware of little expenses ; a small leak will nnk a great ship^— Benjamin Franklin. Remember this: They that will not be counselled cannot be helped.— Benjamin Franklin. Use law and physio only for necessity. They that use them otherwise abuse themselves into weak bodieaand light purses. — Quarlea. Humility is a virtue allpMacb., but few •notice, and yet everybody U content to hear. The matter thiika it good doctrine ior hi* (errant, the laity for the oltrgy, g^tiw«teMr<wtk*Uitr.-«eldm. 1

Many a woman is unhappy because ■ she has not married the man that she lot cs ; but often she would be far more unhappy if she had married him. , The ultimate ground for any belief should • lie understood to be tho fact that it can stand the freest possible disonssion from , evory point of view. — Leslie Stephen. JAPANESE FBOVERBS. B ware of beautiful women as you wo\iM of red pepper. 1 > -feat is the path to victory. When iv haste avoid short cuts. I irlv women rarely look in thw glass ; beautiful women always.
