A great man ia like an eternal epitaph engraved by the admiration of men on the road of.time. —E. oouvestre. The worst of all hobbies are those that people thiuk they can get money at. They shoot their money down like corn out of a sack. If you lie down the world will go out of its way to drive over you; but if you stand up ami look severe it will give you half the road, at least. A lover is a man who Cndeayours to be more amiable than it is possible for him to be. This is the reason why almost all lovers are ridiculous. The power of words is immense.

The way is wide :it is not hard to find. Go home and seek it, and you will not lack teachers.
