WORDS OF WISDOM. A mind is a richer inheritance than a mint. A man's age depends on the idoak lie etili cherishes. Neighbours are an accident: friends, a mattei of choice. Your foes will not fear you as long as you fre1 over them. The poorest man is he who has no tin fig tc give away. He who knows most grieves most for wasted time.—DAXTE. All good things are for him who is taU enough to reach them. It is better to give without thinking than to think without giving. A man is worth what he gives the world, not what he gets from it. Nothing niisfortunnte matters much. if so be you can smile about it. It is often better to think what you say than to say what you think. Half the friction of life comes from having our tongues too well oiled. 0 The self and the sacrifice in any gift is the only measure of its worth. Envy is the habit of losing our own happiness while longing for another's. One who is not interested in other people rarely interests other people. Learn to stand on your own feet; those of your ancestors may prove too narrow. If a man is fit to attain to higher things he will shew it by being faithful where he is. What has been sown in the mind of the youth blooms and fructifies in the sun of riper years. The diminutive chain of habit is scarcely heavy enough to be felt till it is too strong to be broken. Every step of a hobbled hors-) brings his head toward the earth so does every act of a selfish man. There is a time to submit to guidance, and a time to take one's own way at all hazards.— HUXLEY. A man should make sacrifices to keep clear of doing wrong; sacrifices won't undo it when it is done.—GEORGE ELIOT. It is a great mistake to judge people by their environment; the worth of a jewel does not de- pend upon its setting. Between a friend who does you no good. and an enemy who does you no harm, there is no appreciable difference. We all have in our heart? a secret place where we keep, free from the contact of the world, our sweetest remembrances. Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He that is content. He who would rid himself of an envious dis- position must learn thankfulness for his present fortunes, and seek to improve the good of oth,erS.-FLETCHER. Nothing lifts people up better than a word of hearty commendation. It is an easy way to brighten the world around us, yet it is so un- usual as to attract special attention when it is dpne. We are either raised or lowered by our asso- ciations. Manners, tempers. intellect, and morals are all directly influenced by our sur- roundings, and those who choose for themselves friends of an inferior caste, whether of mind or of manners, of morals or of conduct, fall to the level of their choice. FAITHFULNESS. Fidelity brings, to all who display it, power and success in the highest sense. All men in the time of need want the strong and dependable man. The most cynical of the daily papers in one of our great cities in a time of great politi- cal need closed a leading editorial with the words: If only an inscrutable but ever-benign Providence would raise up the figure of a man of faith; a man of integrity and of courage; a man of head and of heart; how might the black and cheerless prospect of the morrow be changed to radiant sunshine! Oh for a man. a full- grown, adult man!" The world is always cry- ing for such men. They are not made by com- promise and unfaithfulness. The men of this type who are to do the country's work in the next generation are the boys who are flying their colours fearlessly, and holding fast to all that is true and good in the past. --+-
