Dettor to lore in lonoliaoa than to bask in love all day; Hotter the fountain in the heart, than tho fountain by the way, Bettor be fed by mother's b uid, than eat alone at will; -Better to truat in good than say: " Jly goeds a,y Btorehouie.flll." Better to be a little wiio, than in knowledge knowl-edge to abound; Bolter to teach a child, than toil to fill perfection's round. Bettor to Bit at a miutor's feot, than thrill a listening Statn; Better suspect that thou art proud, than be euro that Ihou art groai. Bolter to walk the real unseen, than watch the hour's event; Bettor. the "Well donel" at the last, . than the air with shouting rent. , , Better to have a quiet grief, than a hurrying hur-rying delight; Bettor thu twilight 0f tho dawn, than the noonday burning bright. Bolter a death whoa work ii done, than earth's most tavoroJ birth: Better a child in God'e greAt house, than the king of all the earth. |
