FRIENDLY COUNSEL
MERIT MORE THAN CHARMS. What then remains, but will our power to use, And keep good humour still, wliate’er we lose, And trust mo, dear, good humour can prevail When airs, and flights, and screams, and scolding fail; Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; Charms strike the sight, but merit wins soul. ALEXANDER POPE. * « * * z Never fear, good people of an anxious turn of mind, that Art will consign nature, to oblivion. Set anywhere, side by side, the work of God and the work of man, and the former . . will gain in dignity from the comparison. CHARLES DICKENS. « * # * 'There is .no no avocation whatever, which will not permit a man who has the inclination, to give a lil time, every day, to study.
