340 THE YOUNG 
— Censure is the tax a man pays to the

To mortals is a providence. 
■ —Green. 
— He is the best accountant who can 
cast up correctly the sum of his own er- 
rors. — Nevins. 
— Eest satisfied with doing well, and 
leave others to talk of you as they please. 
—Pythagoras. 
— Affliction is tlie good man's shining scene; 
Prosperity conceals his brightest ray; 
As night to stars, woe lustre gives to man. 
—Young. 
— Disparage and depreciate no one ; an 
insect has feeling and an atom a shadow. 
Coleridge. 
— Education begins the gentleman, but 
reading, good company, and education 
must liiiish him.— Locke. 
A grateful mind 
By owing owes not, but still pays; at once 
Indebted and discharged. 
—Milton. 
Any one may do a casual act of good 
nature, but a continuation of them shows 
it is a part of the temperament. — Sterne. 
— We should never make enemies, if 
for no other reason, because it is so hard 
to behave toward them as we ought. — 
Palmer. 
— Singular that the word miser, so 
often expressive of one who is rich, 
should in its origin, signify one that is 
miserable. — Browne. 
— Keceive no satisfaction for premedi- 
tated impertinence ; forget, forgive it, but 
l^eep him inexorably at a distance who

notice of, either as wanting sense or sin- 
cerity. — Locke. 
— There cannot live a more unhappy 
creature than an ill-natured old man, who 
is neither capable of receiving pleasures, 
nor sensible of doing them to others.— 
Sir W. Temple. 
— If a man does not make new ac- 
quaintances as he advances through life 
he will soon find himself left alone. A 
man should keep his friendship in con- 
stant repair. — Johnson. 
— It is doing some service to humanity 
to amuse innocently : and they know very" 
little of society who think we can bear to 
be always employed either in duties or 
meditations without any relaxation. — 
Irving. 
— A contented mind is the greatest 
blessing a man can enjoy in this world ; 
and if in the present life his happiness 
arises from the subduing of his desires, it 
will arise in the next from the satisfac-

— The grandest treasure it is possible 
for man to possess on earth is a good 
wife. The poorest investment he can 
ever malce is a worthless one. Personal 
adornment may please the eye of the vul- 
gar, but it will not hide a false heart. Sin

There are no false gods in such a house-

— Well is it for the woman who is 
shielded and guarded through life. There 
are many lovely qualities to be developed 
only in such a protected condition. But 
sudden changes are injurious in propor-
