Worth Remembering.

Malice drinks one-half of its own poison.— Seneca.

All the world wifi beat the man whom fortune buffets.

Modesty is to merit what shadows are to a picture ; it gives force and relieve. Never tight with a sweep ; you cannot blacken him, but ho may blackeu you. The of tenor one changes his mind the more frequently he makes a bad bargain. Scandal is the offspring of envy and malioe, nursed by society, and cultivated by disappointment. Tale-bearers have done mere mischief in this world than the poisoned bowl or the assassin’s dagger. The comparison of love to fire holds good in one respect, that the fiercer it burns the sooner it is extinguished. A woman, the more curious she is about her face, is commonly the more careless about her house.—Ben Johsoo. Constant application to pleasure takes away from the enjoyment, or rather turns it into the nature of a very burdensome and laborious business. Kind looks, kind words, kind acts, and warm hand-shakes—these are secondary means of grace when men are in trouble and are fighting their unseen battles. Russia.n -Proverbs. The heart has ears. In a still pool swarm devils. Honor is better than wealth. God waits long, but hits hard. Pray to God, but row to shore. Modesty is a maiden’s necklace. An old crow croaks not for nothing. Poverty is not a sin—but twice as bad. A bad peace is better than a good quarrel. An untimely guest is worse than a Tartar. Calumny is like a coal; if it does not burn it will soil.

It is not so much the dew of heaven as the sweat of man’s brow v.hicb renders the soil fruitful.—N.Y. Graphic.
