Linskill. ■ =>"- Joys of Earth.—There are some oi, who seem to think that we compliment heaven by despising his earth, and our sense of the great things the future do yonder by counting as utterly all that the present man may do There is joy upon the earth, which, earthly, is not impure—which, vanishing, is real. True bravery is sedate and Nive; if it refuses to submit to insult, % s none; it begins no disputes, enters quarrels; it is above the little ambition to be distinguished [evsry moment; it bears in silence and replies - i wih modesty, fearing no enemy, and making )amt; and it is as much ashamed of iny" dsiJence as cowardice. < i^---Well Spekt.—Bestow thy yOutb ' )s*.that thou mayest have comfort to reit when it hath forsaken thee, and .sq sigh and grieve at the account thereof, art young thou wilt think it iwi never have an end; but, behold the lon~*joy'% at once, that it never returns again; TtySlrtherefore as the springtime, which soon -•——fflfcteth and wherein thou delightest to sow all provisions for a long and hjtjpy Hfe.—Raleinh.
