FRIENDLY COUNSEL
humility. Humility! the sweetest, loveliest flower That bloomed in Paradise, and the first that died, Has rarely blossomed since on mortal soil. J't is so frail, so delicate a thing, Tis gone if it but looks upon itself; And she who ventures to esteem it hers, Proves by that single thought she has it not. , , CAROLINE FRY. ******* Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind ; privation trains and strengthens it. WILLIAM lIAZLITT. * * * * Trust not to the omnipotence of gold, and say not unto it, thou are my confidence. Kiss not thy hand to that terrestrial sun, nor bore thy ear unto its servitude. A slave unto mammon makes no servant unto God. Covetousness cracks the faith. SIR THOMAS RROWNE. * * * * r f]jis life is the childhood of eternity.
