HAPPY he

With such a mother! faith in womankind

Beats with his blood, and trust in all things high

Comes easy to him. . . .

This mother is your model.

BE sure of the foundation of your life. Know why you live as you do. Be ready to give a reason for it. Do not, in such a matter, build on opinion or custom, or what guess is true. Make it a matter of certainty and science. Thomas Starr King.

OH! I must feel your brain prompt mine,

Your heart anticipate my heart,

You must be just before, in fine,

See and make me see, for your part,

New depths of the divine!

W. M. THACKERAY, 1811.

Landor.

A WOMAN'S heart is like a lithographer's stone. What is once written upon it cannot be rubbed out.

LOVE is immeasurably above ambition, more precious than wealth, more noble than name; and he knows not life who knows not that calmer love of wedded life, which is really a close and increasing friendship cemented by many common interests.

Thackeray.

It is good to have been young in youth, and, as years go on, to grow older. Many are already old before they are through their teens: but to travel deliberately through one's ages is to get the heart out of a liberal education. Times change, opinions vary to their opposite : and what can be more encouraging than to find the friend who was welcome at one age, still welcome at another. Stevenson.

HOME-KEEPING youths have ever homely wit.
