WIT AND WISDOM.

—— Among quotations from books may bo found:— What unhappy people usually need is not more money but moro joy. And you cannot buy joy. You must woo it, to you. The simplest way is to cultivate a fresh interest. Everything is interesting to you if it happens to you, and everybody is interesting to himself, or ought to be. The English mind expects a man to know his joy. It approves a man who does his job. But it keeps its enthusiasm for a man who looks his job. Especially the female English mind. It is a way far moro safe for a man to do good and charitable deeds by himself while ho liveth, than to hope that others will do the samo for him after his • death. Indecision and delay aro the parents of failure. In every life there is an upward and I a downward tendency; ho is to be praised who remains steadfast in the mean bo- | twoon. ' It is well that there is no ono without a fault, for ho would not havo a friend in the world. Ho would seem to belong 1 to a different species. It matters little whether a man bo J mathematically, or philologically, or i artistically cultivated, so he be cultivated. |
