It is proof that we have come to the end of dreams and Time's delusions, and are determined to sit down at Life's feast and carve for ourselves. Its day is the child of yesterday, and has a claim on to-morrow. Whereas those who have no such plan of existence and sum of their wisdom to show, the winds blow them as they list. Consider, then, mercifully the wrath of him on whom carelessness or forgetfulness has brought a snap in the links of Habit. You in- cline to scorn him because, his slippers mi placed, or asparagus not on the table the first day of a particular spring month, he gazes blank- ly and sighs as one who saw the End. To you it may appear small. You call to him to be a man. He is: but he is also an immortal, and his confi- dence in unceasing orderly progression is rudely dashed.—George Meredith—Evan Harrington, chapter viii, A Wonderful Invention of the Seventeenth Century “ Sir Richard Bulkeley described to us a model of a chariot he had invented, which it was not possible to overthrow in what ever uneven way it was drawn, giving us a wonderful relation of what it had performed in that kind, for ease, expedition and safety; there were some incon- veniences yet to be remedied—it would not con- tain more than one person; was ready to take fire every ten miles, and heing placed on no fewer than ten rollers, it made a prodigious noise, al- most intolerable.

How much so ever you may study science, when you do not act wisely you are ignorant. The beast whom they load with books is not profoundly learned; what knoweth his empty skull whether he carrieth fire- wood or book: From the Gulistan of Musle- Huddeen Sheik Saadi, Twelfth Century. Old Italian Proverbs Traditional. An iron anvil should have a hammer of feathers. Three things are well done in haste: flying from the plague, escaping quarrels and catching flees. Love, knavery and necessity make men good orators. Wealth is not his who gets it, but his who en- joys it. I once had, is a poor man. He who gives fair words feeds you with an empty spoon. Three littles make a man rich on a sudden; little wit, little shame and little honesty. Hope is a pleasant kind of deceit. Time is a file that wears and makes no noise. A beggars wallet is a mile to the bottom.
