135. Pigmies are pigmies still, though perched on Alps,

And pyramids are pyramids in vales.-Young.

136. Disappointments and distress are often bless ings in disguise.—Anon.

137.

Don't crowd; the world is large enough

For you as well as me;

The doors of all are open wide

The realm of thought is free.
In all earth's places you are right
To chase the best you can—
Provided that you do not try
To crowd some other man.

Don't crowd the good from out your
By fostering all that's bad,
But give to every virtue room—
The best that may be had:
To each day's record such a one
That you might well be proud:

heart

Give each his right—give each his room,

And never try to crowd.-Chas. Dickens.

138. Every degree of guilt incurred by yielding to temptation, tends to debase the mind, and to weaken the generous and benevolent principles of human nature. Anon.
