WINGED ARROWS.
INSIDIOUSNESS OF VICE
Vice creepth upon men under the name of virtue, for covetousness would be called frugality, and prodigality taketli to itself the name of bounty, pride calls itself neatness, revenge seems like greatness of spirit, and cruelty feceiveth its bitterness under the show of courage.
Have we -not all, amkl life’s petty strife, Some pure ideal of a noble life That once seemed possible ? Did we not hear The flutter of its wings, and feel it near, And just within our reach?
Love and death are the two great hinges on which all human sympathies turn. B. R. Havdoii.
Style is the dress of thoughts. Lord Chesterfield
there are some silent people who are nore interesting than the best talkers. B. Disraeli.
