REFLECTIONS
Happiness is not tlio end of life; character is. Folded hands are not necessarily resigned ones. Be wise: soar not too high, to fall, but stoop to rise. Conceit may puff a man up, but never prop him up. Choose a wife for her character rather than for her dowry. Reminiscences make one feel so deliciously aged and sad. Little minds are tamed and subdued by . misfortune; but great minds rise above it There is not ono hurried face, that passes you in the street, that will not bo impressive, if you can only fathom it A fellow who lives in a windmill has not a more whimsical dwelling than the heart of a man that is lodged in a woman.
