News m a Nutshell.
A nobleman that ought to be ablr^i to give a good blow -The * Earl oi ¥ JFife. . . ..•■■■ ■/ No one is useless m this world who lightens the burden of it for anyone else. '■-.-. : ' i Politics is a science which no one believes those who differ from him to understand. The best penance we can do for envying another's merit is to endeavour to surpass it. Society is very queer. The people most sought after are those who do not pay their debts. No man ever made an ill-figure, who. understood his own talents, nor a good one who mistook them. Wo are readier to pardon those who. laugh at onr gravity than those who da not laugh at our jokes. ! When a man has ao design but to. speak plain truth, he may say a great deal m a very narrow compass. When. a. person writes, a poem to kilt time, he may be pretty sure that timer will have its revenge and kill the poem, If we did but know how Kttl©> some enjoy of the great things they- possess, there, would not be much envy m, the world.
