What have I learned where’er I’ve been, 
From all I’ve heard, from all I’ve seen? 
What know I more that’s worth the knowing ? 
What have I done that’s worth the doing ? 
What have I sought that I should shun? 
What duty have I left undone ? 
Or, into what new follies run ? 
These self-enquiries are the road 
That leads to virtue , and to God.

RULE OF LIFE. 
To fear no ill, to do no wrong, to all men to prove true— 
This is the ee golden ride” of life; let it be so to you. 
— Anon. 
Sorrow. 
Sorrow reigns on all the thrones of the universe, and the Crown of all 
crowns was a Crown of Thorns! 
— Anon. 
In the cruel fire of sorrow 
Cast thy heart; do not faint or wail; 
Let thy hand be firm and steady. 
Do not let thy spirit quail; 
But wait till the trial is over, 
And take thy heart again; 
For as gold is tried by fire, 
So a heart must be tried by pain.

SMILES.

It is easy enough to be pleasant 
When life flows by like a song, 
But the man worth while is the man who will smile 
When everything goes dead wrong; 
For the test of the heart is trouble ,
