EDWARD EVERETT HALE, 1822.

IT is well to cultivate a large undergrowth of small pleasures, for there are few large pleasures let out on long leases.

Mary A. Livermore.

Look up, and not down,

Look forward, and not backward,

Look out, and not in,

And lend a hand.

E. E. Hale.

TRAINING is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

Mark Twain.

IT is the privilege and proper condition of a human. being, arrived at the maturity of his faculties, to use and interpret experience in his own way. It is for him to find out what part of recorded experience is properly applicable to his own circumstances and character.

John Stuart Mill.

THE great world, the great aggregate experience, has its good sense, as it has its good-humor. It detects a pretender, as it trusts a loyal heart.

Thackeray.

IF you would fall into any extreme, let it be on the side of gentleness. The human mind is so constructed that it resists rigor and yields to softness.

St. Francis de Sales.

RAPHAEL, 1483.

- THE Mother with the Child

Whose tender winning arts
Have to his little arms beguiled

So many wounded hearts!

Matthew Arnold.

His life was gentle; and the elements

So mix'd in him, that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world, "This was a man!"

Shakespeare.
