IN PASSING.

If you leave yourself to drift, you always drift the wrong way. —Archbishop of York.

We need a man- like Isaiah to drive us back to the old simplicities.—Canon Ilannay. Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all tho duties of life.—.Addison.

Cheerfulness is tho best promoter of health, and as friendly to the mind as to tho body.—Addison. There are plenty of things wrong in tho world, but they are not hopelessly wrong.—Sir Oliver Lodge.

One person with a belief is a social power equal to ninety-nine who have only interests.—John Stuart Mill.

When esteem has boon excited by the manifestation of amiable qualities, or by a life spent in usefulness, it is worth more than a flashing diadem.—Pope. A mob is usually a creature of very mysterious existence, particularly in a large city. Where it comes from, or whither it goes, few men can tell. Assembling and dispersing with equal suddenness, it is as difficult to follow to its various sources as the sea itself; nor doos the parallel stop here, for the ocean is not more fickle and uncertain, more terrible when roused, more unreasonable or more cruel.—Dickens.
