how to feel. 
— Open rebukes are for magistrates 
and courts of justice. Private rebukes 
are for friends, where all the witnesses of 
the offender's blushes are blind and deaf 
^nd dumb.— Feltham. 
— People may make injuries worse by 
unreasonable conduct, by giving way to 
anger and satisfying that for the moment, 
instead of thinking what will be the effect 
in the future. — George EViot. 
— A good memory is the best monu- 
ment. Others are subject to casualty or 
time, and we know that the pyramids 
themselves, rotting with age, have for- 
gotten the names of their founders. — 
Fuller. 
— To divert at any time a troublesome 
fancy, run to thy books. They presently 
fix thee to them, and drive the other out 
of thy thoughts. They always receive 
thee with the same kindness. — Ihomas 
Fuller. 
— What we call miracles and wonders 
of art are not so to Him who created 
them; for they were created by the 
natural movement of His own great soul. 
Statues, paintings, churches, poems, are 
but shadows of Himself. — Longfelloiv. 
— I always fancy I can hear the wheels 
clicking in a calculator's brain. The 
power of dealing with numbers is a kind 
of " detached lever " arrangement, which 
may be put into a mighty poor watch. — 
Holmes. 
— Socrates called beauty a short-lived 
tyraimy; Plato, a privilege of nature; 
Theophrastus, a silent cheat ; Theocritus, 
a delightful prejudice ; Carneades, a soli- 
tary kingdom ; Domitian said that noth- 
ing was more grateful; Aristotle affirmed 
that beauty was better than all the letters 
of recommendation in the world ; Homer, 
that it was a glorious gift of nature ; and 
Ovid, alluding to him, calls it a favor be- 
stowed by the gods.— J^ro77i the Italian. 
— Very many ladies have a habit while 
traveling of gathering leaves, sprays, or 
single blossoms, small reminiscences of 
pleasant journeys, etc., and pressing them 
in a sketch-book or small portfolio, pre- 
vious to their being taken home and 
prettily arranged in the long winter even- 
ings, when they awaken pleasant or sad 
remembrances, as the case may be, of 
days long past. The dried flowers, leaves, 
grasses, moss, etc., should be arranged 
on pieces of cardboard cut the same size, 
either in different groups of flowers, or 
like a graceful frame around a small 
sketch, with a quotation from a favorite 
poet below, in this case the single flowers 
must be gummed on with rather a thick 
liquid gum, which of course requires 
great care. If kept in a case on purpose, 
the collection will soon form a pretty al- 
bum. 
In passin' thro' this warld o' eares, 
Hoo afteu dae we feel 
Sad an' forlorn 'neath Fortune's scorn ; 
E'en Keason seems to reel. 
Yet we su'd ever bear in mind 
That He wha dis nae wrang. 
Has made a hiw that ane an' a 
Maun creep afore they gang. 
Sae creep afore ye gang. 
Jist creep afore ye gang. 
An' dinna let yer held hing doun 
Tho' griefs the bosom thrang ; 
For bit by bit ye'U yet come roun'. 
Then creep afore ye gang. 
We've a' oor sorrows mair or less 
Oor lifetime tae endure. 
But oh, how hard it is for some 
A leevin' tae secure ; 
Yet mony rise tae eminence 
Who sat in sorrow laiig. 
An' sae may we, gin we've the sense 
Tae creep afore we gang. 
Sae creep afore ye gang, 
Jist creep afore ye gang, 
Ye canna thraw what's been decreed 
E'er man tae being sprang; 
An' will be till the end indeed, 
Tae creep afore ye gang. 
—John Adam. 
— Pocket-handkerchief flirting has 
gone entirely out of the fashion, at least 
so say the girls. Parasol flirtation is the 
latest accomplishment in the art. The 
covered and figured heads are symbolic,
