WINGED ARROWS.
ART OF READING. Read not to contradict nor to confute nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weight and consider. Soule books are to be tasted, others swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested —that is, some books are to be read only in parts, otlirs to, be read and not curiously, and some few are to be read wholly and with diligence and attention. —Lord Bacon. SL \r \f VC* /\ Time is the most precious and yet the most brittle jewel we have; it is what every man bids largely for when he wants it, but squanders it away most lavishly when he has it. ■¥r -X- -X-* The man who would become popular with others must first learn to forget himself. How useless is it to visit a brother j.n adversity laden with our own troubles. * We must first bury our own sorrow, then we shall be able to go forth with an attentive ear and a sympathising heart.
