Raillery is sometimes more insupportable than wrong; we have a right to resent injuries, but it is ridiculous to be angry at a jest.-Rochefoucauld.

Be not affronted at a jest; if one throw ever so much salt at thee thou wilt receive no harm unless thou art raw and ulcerous. -Junius.

He that will lose his friend for a jest deserves to die a beggar by the bargain.— Such let thy jests be, that they may not grind the credit of thy friend; and make not jests so long that thou becomest one.Fuller.

Joking often loses a friend, and never gains an enemy.-C. Simmons.

He who never relaxes into sportiveness is a wearisome companion; but beware of him who jests at everything. Such men disparage, by some ludicrous association, all objects which are presented to their thoughts, and thereby render themselves incapable of any emotion which can either elevate or soften; they bring upon their moral being an influence more withering than the blasts of the desert.-Southey.

A joker is near akin to a buffoon; and neither of them is the least related to wit.Chesterfield.

Yonder he drives; avoid that furious beast. If he may have his jest, he never cares at whose expense; nor friend, nor patron spares.-Horace.

A jest's prosperity lies in the ear of him that hears it, never in the tongue of him that makes it.-Shakespeare.

Too tart jests are not good; bitter potions are not for health.-An offensive man is the devil's bellows, to blow up contention. -Beaumont.

As for jesting, there be certain things which ought to be privileged from it, viz., religion, matters of state, great persons, any business of importance, and any case that deserveth pity.-Bacon.

Jest not with the two-edged sword of God's word.-Fuller.

Judge of a jest when you have done laughing.-W. Lloyd.

JESUIT.-The Society of the Jesuits is a sword whose handle is at Rome, and its point everywhere.-F. Dupin.

When you meet a man believing in the salutary nature of falsehoods, and the divine authority of things doubtful, and fancying that to serve a good cause he must call the devil to his aid, there is a follower of unsaint Ignatius.-Carlyle.

A Jesuit may be briefly described as an

empty suit of clothes with another person living in them who acts for him, thinks for him, decides for him, whether he shall be a prince or a beggar, and moves him about wheresoever he pleases; who allows him to exhibit the external aspect of a man, but leaves him none of the privileges-no liberty, no property, no affection 3, not even the power to refuse obedience when ordered to commit the most atrocious of crimes; for, the more he outrages his own feelings. the greater his merits. Obedience to the Superior is his only idea of virtue, and in all other respects he is a mere image.Southey.

Not till these late centuries had the human soul generated the abomination of Jesuitism, or needed to name it.-It has done such deadly execution on the soul of man, and wrought such havoc on the terrestrial and supernal interests of this world as to insure to Jesuitism a long memory in human annals.—Carlyle.

JESUS.-(See "CHRIST.")

JEWS.-The Jew is the pilgrim of commerce, trading with every nation and blending with none.-Conybeare.

They are a piece of stubborn antiquity, compared with which Stonehenge is in its nonage. They date beyond the Pyramids. -Lamb.

Talk what you will of the Jews, that they are cursed: they thrive wherever they come; they are able to oblige the prince of their country by lending him money; none of them beg: they keep together; and as for their being hated, why Christians hate one another as much.-Selden.

The Jews are among the aristocracy of every land. If a literature is called rich in the possession of a few classic tragedies, what shall we say to a national tragedy, lasting for fifteen hundred years, in which the poets and actors were also the heroes. -George Eliot.

"Give me," said Frederick William, of Prussia, to his chaplain, "give me the briefest possible proof of the truth of Christianity.' "The Jews, your majesty," was the answer.

JOY. (See "HAPPINESS.")

True joy is a serene and sober motion; and they are miserably out that take laughing for rejoicing; the seat of it is within, and there is no cheerfulness like the resolution of a brave mind that has fortune under its feet.-Seneca.

He that to the best of his power has secured the final stake, has a perennial

fountain of joy within him. He is satisfied from himself. Joy wholly from without is false, precarious, and short. From without, it may be gathered; but, like gathered flowers, though fair and sweet for a season, it must soon wither and become offensive. Joy from within is like smelling the rose on the tree; it is more sweet and fair; it is lasting; and, I must add, immortal.Young.

Man is the merriest, the most joyous of all the species of creation.-Above and below him all are serious.-Addison.

Joy in this world is like a rainbow, which in the morning only appears in the west, or toward the evening sky; but in the latter hours of day casts its triumphal arch over the east, or morning sky.-Richter.

It is better that joy should be spread over all the day in the form of strength, than that it should be concentrated into ecstasies, full of danger, and followed by reactions.-Emerson.

The most profound joy has more of gravity than of gaiety in it.-Montaigne.

He who can conceal his joys is greater than he who can hide his griefs.-Lavater.

Nature, in zeal for human amity, denies or damps an undivided joy. -Joy is an exchange; it flies monopolies; it calls for two; rich fruit, heaven planted, never plucked by one.-Young.

The noblest spirits are those which turn to heaven, not in the hour of sorrow, but in that of joy; like the lark, they wait for the clouds to disperse, that they may soar up into their native element.-Richter.

A man would have no pleasure in discovering all the beauties of the universe, even in heaven itself, unless he had a partner to whom he might communicate his joys.- Cicero.

When we speak of joy it is not something we are after, but something that will come to us when we are after God and duty.Horace Bushnell.

Joys are our wings; sorrows our spurs.Richter.

The soul's calm sunshine, and the heartfelt joy.-Pope.

True joy is only hope put out of fear.-Brooke.

We lose the peace of years when we hunt after the rapture of moments.-Bulwer.

Little joys refresh us constantly, like our daily bread, and never bring disgust; great ones, like sugar-bread, refresh us briefly, and then bring satiety.-Richter,

Tranquil pleasures last the longest; we are not fitted to bear long the burden of great joys.-Bovee.

Joy never feasts so high as when the first course is of misery.-Suckling.

There is not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.-Byron.

Joy is more divine than sorrow, for joy is bread and sorrow is medicine.-H. W. Beecher.

The highest joy to the Christian almost always comes through suffering. No flower can bloom in Paradise which is not transplanted from Gethsemane. No one can taste of the fruit of the tree of life, that has not tasted of the fruits of the tree of Calvary. The crown is after the cross.

To pursue joy is to lose it. The only way to get it is to follow steadily the path of duty, without thinking of joy, and then, like sleep, it comes most surely unsought, and we being in the way," the angel of God, bright-haired Joy, is sure to meet us. -A. Maclaren.

We ask God to forgive us for our evil thoughts and evil temper, but rarely, if ever, ask him to forgive us for our sadness. -R. W. Dale.

The very society of joy redoubles it; so that, while it lights upon my friend it rebounds upon myself, and the brighter his candle burns the more easily will it light mine.-South.

The joy resulting from the diffusion of blessings to all around us is the purest and sublimest that can ever enter the human mind, and can be conceived only by those who have experienced it. Next to the consolations of divine grace, it is the most sovereign balm to the miseries of life, both in him who is the object of it, and in him who exercises it.-Bp. Porteus.

Great joy, especially after a sudden change of circumstances, is apt to be silent, and dwells rather in the heart than on the tongue.-Fielding.

Here below is not the land of happiness; it is only the land of toil; and every joy which comes to us is only to strengthen us for some greater labor that is to succeed.Fichte.

We can do nothing well without joy, and a good conscience which is the ground of joy.-Sibbes.

There is a sweet joy that comes to us through sorrow.-Spurgeon.

JUDGMENT.-(See 'OPINION.")

As the touchstone which tries gold, but

is not itself tried by gold, such is he who has the true standard of judgment.-Epictetus.

In forming a judgment, lay your hearts void of fore-taken opinions; else, whatsoever is done or said will be measured by a wrong rule; like them who have the jaundice, to whom everything appeareth yellow. -Sir P. Sidney.

Men are not to be judged by their looks, habits, and appearances; but by the character of their lives and conversations, and by their works. It is better to be praised by one's own works than by the words of another.-L'Estrange.

Judge thyself with the judgment of sincerity, and thou wilt judge others with the judgment of charity.-J. Mason.

While actions are always to be judged by the immutable standard of right and wrong, the judgments we pass upon men must be qualified by considerations of age, country, station, and other accidental circumstances; and it will then be found that he who is most charitable in his judgment is generally the least unjust.-Southey.

Never be a judge between thy friends in any matter where both set their hearts upon the victory. If strangers or enemies be litigants, whatever side thou favorest, thou gettest a friend; but when friends are the parties thou losest one.-Bp. Taylor.

Judgment is forced upon us by experience.-Johnson.

The judgment is like a pair of scales, and evidences like the weights; but the will holds the balances in its hand; and even a slight jerk will be sufficient, in many cases, to make the lighter scale appear the heavier. Whately.

A man has generally the good or ill qualities which he attributes to mankind.Shenstone.

It is with our judgments as with our watches: no two go just alike, yet each believes his own.-Pope.

How little do they see what really is, who frame their hasty judgment upon that which seems.-Southey.

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing; others judge us by what we have done. Longfellow.

Men's judgments are a parcel of their fortunes; and things outward do draw the inward quality after them.-Shakespeare.

The most necessary talent in a man of conversation, which is what we ordinarily intend by a gentleman, is a good judgment. He that has this in perfection is master of

his companion, without letting him see it; and has the same advantage over men of other qualifications, as one that can see would have over a blind man of ten times his strength.-Steele.

You think it a want of judgment that one changes his opinion.-Is it a proof that your scales are bad because they vibrate with every additional weight that is added to either side?-Miss Edgeworth.

It is a maxim received in life that, in general, we can determine more wisely for others than for ourselves.-The reason of it is so clear in argument that it hardly wants the confirmation of experience.Junius.

Everyone complains of the badness of his memory, but nobody of his judgment. -Rochefoucauld.

The wise determine from the gravity of the case; the irritable, from sensibility to oppression; the high-minded, from disdain and indignation at abusive power in unworthy hands.-Burke.

Lynx-eyed to our neighbors, and moles to ourselves.-La Fontaine.

The seat of knowledge is in the head; of wisdom, in the heart.-We are sure to judge wrong if we do not feel right.-Hazlitt.

The vulgar mind fancies that good judg ment is implied chiefly in the capacity to censure and yet there is no judgment so exquisite as that which knows properly how to approve.-Simms.

We do not judge men by what they are in themselves, but by what they are relatively to us.-Mad. Swetchine.

Fools measure actions after they are done, by the event; wise men beforehand, by the rules of reason and right. The former look to the end to judge of the act. Let me look to the act, and leave the end to God.-Bp. Hall.

While I am ready to adopt any wellgrounded opinion, my inmost heart revolts against receiving the judgments of others respecting persons, and whenever I have done so, I have bitterly repented of it.Niebuhr.

Think wrongly, if you please; but in all cases think for yourself.-Lessing.

No man can judge another, because no man knows himself, for we censure others but as they disagree from that humor which we fancy laudable in ourselves, and commend others but for that wherein they seem to quadrate and consent with us.- - Sir Thomas Browne.

A flippant, frivolous man may ridicule
