WORDS OF THE WISE.

It ia good to think well; it is divine to act well.—Horace Mann. One to-day is worth two to-morrow. --Benj am in F,ranklin. ' Against tlie superiority of another ■tilery is no remedy but love. Goethe. -Love is faith, is charity, is gentleness truth, all peace, all beauty, and all virtue dwell in this one short word; the rule of life, the precept of our death. —Pierce Facon. Who seeks for heaven alone "to hisi soul j / , . "May.keep the path, but will not reach the goal; AVliile he who walks in love may l wander far, \ But God will bring him where the Blessed are. —Henry Van Dyke. People smile at the enthusiasm of youth, that Enthusiasm which they themselves secretly l look hack fit with a sigh, perhaps unconscious that it is partlv their own fault that they have ever lost it.—Charles Kingsley. But Who «an paint Like Nature? Can Imagination boast, A-tnid its gay creations, hues like hers? —James Thomson. In the aetue and vigorous games and merriment of childran there are the most health-giving conditions that can be obtained, because they are the wise combination of exercise and ■mirth. The Mass of mankind will never have any ardent zeal for seeing things aa they' are; very inadequate ideas •will always satisfy them. On these inadequate ideas reposes, and must repose, tlip general practice of the world. That is as much as saying that whoever sets himself to see things as they are"will find himself one of a. very small circle; but it in only by this small circle resolutely doing its (iivn work that adequate ideas will ever get current at all.—Matthew Arnold.
