TRIFLES.

EVERY one basteth the fat hog, while the lean one burneth.

A VERY Volatile young lord, having married, was lectured upon his previous conduct to the fair sex. "Madam," said he, "you may depend on it, this is my last folly."

THEMISTOCLES, who had a farm to sell, caused the crier who proclaimed it to add that it had a good neighbour; rightly judging that such an advantage would make it more vendible.

A FAT man riding upon a lean horse was asked how it came to pass that himself was fat, and his horse so lean. He answered-" Because I feed myself; but I leave the feeding of my horse to another."

PEACE is that harmony in the state that health is in the body.

MEN are too apt to lay before them the actions of great men, and neglect what is more important -the motives of their models.

MAN's riches are to be estimated rather by the fewness of his wants than the greatness of his possessions.

It is difficult to find a young fellow that is neither a wit in his own eye nor a fool in the eye of the world.

TIRADE AGAINST DRESS. - Decker, an old author, says "Good clothes are the embroidered trappings of pride, and good cheer the very root of gluttony. Did man, think you, come into the world wrangling about no better matters than all his life-time to search in Birchin-lane for whalebone doublets, or for pies of nightingales' tongues, in Heliogabalus's kitchen? No, no; the first suit of apparel that ever mortal man put on came neither from the mercer's shop nor the merchant's warehouse. Adam was great in nobody's silks and velvets. The silkworms had something else to do in those days than to set up looms and be free of the weavers. The patent for starch could by no means be signed."

WE are sent to the ant to learn industry; to the dove to learn innocency; to the serpent to learn wisdom; and why not go to the robin redbreast, who chants as cheerfully in winter as in summer, to learn equanimity and patience?

CONVERSATION augments pleasure and diminishes pain; for silent woes are greatest, and silent satisfactions least; indeed, sometimes our pleasure would be none but for telling of it, and our grief insupportable but for participation.

YOUNG trees that are full of blossom often produce small stock of fruit, or are wont to leave off bearing after a year or twain; in like manner, childhood that promiseth too much, and hath an inordinate show of learning, commonly endeth in very ordinary, and mainly in profitless manhood.

AH! see the virgin rose, how sweetly she
Doth first peep forth with bashful modesty,
That fairer seems, the less ye see her way;
Lo! see soon after, how more bold and free
Her bared bosom she doth broad display;
Lo, see soon after, how she fades and falls away!
So passeth, in the passing of a day
Of mortal life, the leaf, the bud, the flower,
That erst was sought to deck both bed and bower.
Spenser.

THE sea of fortune doth not ever flow,

She draws her favours to the lowest ebb;
Her tides have equal times to come and go;
Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest web;
No joy so great but runneth to an end,
No hap so hard but may in time amend.
A chance may win that by mischance was lost;

The net that holds no great, holds little fish;
In some things all, in all things none are cross'd;
Few all they need, but none have all they wish;
Unmingled joys here to no man befall;
Who least, hath some; who most, hath never all.
Southwell.
