6. Of all monuments raised to the memory of dis tinguished men, the most appropriate, and the least exceptionable, are those whose foundations are laid in their own works, and which are constructed of materials supplied and wrought by their own labors. -Josiah Quincy.

7.

Consider and act with reference to the true ends of existence. This world is but the vestibule of an immortal life. Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.

8.

-E. H. Chapin.

Not worlds on worlds, in phalanx deep,
Need we to prove a God is here;
The daisy fresh from winter's sleep,

Tells of His hand in lines as clear.

-J. M. Good

9. A life in any sphere that is the expression and outflow of an honest, earnest, loving heart, taking counsel only of God and itself, will be certain to be a life of beneficence in the best possible direction. -J. G. Holland.

10. There's a divinity that shapes our ends

Rough-hew them how we will.-Shakespeare.

26.
The greatest man is he who chooses the right
with invincible resolution; who resists the sorest
temptations from within and without; who bears the
heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is calmest and
most fearless under menaces and frowns; whose re-
liance on truth, on virtue, on God, is most unfalter-
ing-Dr. Channing.

27. So should we live that every hour
May die as dies the natural flower,—
A self-reviving thing of power;

28.

That

every thought and

every

May hold within itself the seed

deed

Of future good and future meed.-Milnes.

In the sun, the moon, the sky;

On the mountains wild and high;

In the thunder, in the rain,

In the grove, the wood, the plain;
In the little birds that sing;

God is seen in everything.-Anon.

29. Let us toil on; the work we leave behind us,
Though incomplete, God's hand will yet embalm
And use in some way,—and the news will find us
In Heaven above, and sweeten endless calm.

-Anon.
