Worth Remembering.

What we call time enough often proves little enough.

A man’s conscience is his most faithful friend. —Coleridge. Nothing except a battle lost can bo half so melancholy as a battle won.—Duke of Wellington. Whatever may be our natural talents, the art of writing is not acquired all at once.— Rosseau. Zeal without humility is like a ship without a rudder, liable to bo stranded at any moment.—Feltham. Positiveness is a most absurd foible ; if you are in the right it lessens your triumph ; if in the wrong it adds shame to your defeat.—Sterne. Men suppose that their reason has com- ■ mand over their words ; still it happens that words in return exercise authority on reason. —Lord Bacon, He that loves not his wife and children feeds a lioness at home and broods a nest of sorrows, and blessing itself cannot make him happy.—Jeretny Taylor. The educating art, when rightly conceived, has all the essential marks of a profession ; it has in its keeping human interests of the highest order ; it requires the exercise of the highest intellectual gifts.—W. H. Payne. He who complains that tho world is hollow and heartless unconsciously confesses his own lack of sympathy, while he who believes that people as a whole are kindly and humane is certain to have the milk of human kindness in his own nature.
