THOUGHTS FROM GEORGE MEREDITH. After forty men have married their habits, and wives are only an item in the list, and not the most important.

Intellectual differences do not cause wounds, except when very unintellectual sentiments are behind them.

Gossip must often have been likened to the winged insect bearing pollen to the flowers; it fertilises many a vacuous rc> verie.

Drolleries, humors, reputed witticisms, are like odors of roast meats, past with tue picking of the joint. Idea is the only vital breath.

Cynicism is intellectual dandyism without the coxcomb's feathers; and it seems to me that cynics are only happy in making the world as barren to others as they have made it for themselves.

The true word spoken lias its chance of somewhere alighting and striking root. Look not to that. Seeds perish in nature; good men fail. Look to the truth in you, and.dbliver it, with no afterthought of hope.
