Voltaire tells us, that Milton got his first idea of Paradise Lost from a vidi culous Italian burlesque styled Adamo, or tho Fall of Man?Goldsmith's couiody, She Stoops to Conquer, was suggested by no accident which occurred to him on his way to collcgo Verily, as the song snys: ! "We llltlo know what great things From littlo tliinga arise." One of tho saddest things about hu man nature is, that a mau may guide others in ihc path of lifo without walk ing in it himself; that he may bo a pilot, and yet a cast-away. One unquiet, perverse disposition, distempers tho peace and unity ol a whole family, in society, as one jarring instrument will spoil a whole concei t. When Soorates was asked whether it were better lor a man to get married or to live single, he replied?"Let him th> cither, aud ho will repent it." Invincible fidelity, good humor and complaceuoy of temper, outlive all the Sharins of a fine face, and make the decays of it invisible. Taltlor. What the impulse of genius is to the great the instinct of vacation is to th mediocre?in every man there is a uiug net?in that thing which the man eau do best, there is a lorvdst jiio. Truth, love, and high mortality arc tho same. Hasty people drink tho no, tar of c.\ istence scalding hot. Tho mo&t effectual way to seou:c happiness to ourselves is to confer it up ou others. Politeness is the outward gnrtn.ut o( gocd will but many arc the nutshells in which, if you crack them nothing like a kernel is to be found. To be abio to bear provocation is an argument of great wisdom, and to for give it, of a great mind. Sound uot tho vain trumpet of self commendation and forget not tbromem bor your own imperfections. He that accujdomcs himself to buy superfluities, may, ere long, be obliged lo sell bis necessaries. The patient mule which travels night and day will, iu the end, go farther than tho Arabian courser?.?J'ersuui ICesvur ches. ^ Pride is a yico, which pride itself in cliues every man to liud in otheis, and to overlook'in himself. Intellect is not the moral power, conscience is. Honoa, not talent, makes the gentleman. Slaves Yet. "What! slaves yet!' "Yes, llarr., .''ore are slaves now T saw one yesterday, who was 'completely under tho control of his master " "Not in New Hampshire ?" "Yes. In the cars his master kept him away from the rest of tho company, in a car provided for such slaves.

'"No ; ho would have been as white :is you arc if ho hadn't had such a smoked look." --"Oh, I guess I know what you mean, ther. VVnS he a slave to smoking?" "Yes, Harry, that is what I mean. His master is a little black dirty cigar. And he is as much under its control as the slaves in the South were under the control of their tun-tor." "Isn't it n kind of slavery that is en joyable, then, mother ? " "It is only that kind of enjoyment, when tho lowost or animal part of his nature says to tho higher, or heavenly part?"Get down hero and lot me tram ple on you, and crush you under my feet." "No boy is born a slave to smoking or to drinking, or any of those bad mas tors. Everyman who is steeping his brain in tobacoo smoke or liquor, walks right straight into slavery himself. "It doos muko a man look so foolish to go along through tho world pW?ng to bacoo Eiuoko into people's faces, and poi soning the sweet air, that I think, when I see one, of the old saying?'A cigar is a roll ol tobacco with fire at one end and a fool at tho other."
