Be not ashamed of humble parentage, or humble occupation; be ashamed of poverty, or even of a small amount of natural endowments, lest you should thereby reproach the King of Kings; but be. ashamed of misspent time and misdirect¬ ed talents. Be always a- shamed of vice. A wicked man cannot be truly brave or noble. True Philanthropy.--I always feel more at home when I have got the ladies about me. It is on their ac¬ count,and on account of their children, that I have de¬ nounced the disgraceful sys¬ tem of men getting drunk at the alehouse and leaving their children starving at home. But, women, you also have a duty to perform, and mind you do it. M«ke your homes agreeable----- make the attractions of home so great that your husbands will not wish to go to the alehouse.-----Earl of Albe¬ marle. JJarl ojAv Invention of Stays.— Tradition insists that corsets were invented by a cruel butcher of the thirteenth cen¬ tury, as a punishment for his wife. She was very \- quacious, and, finding no¬ thing would cure her, he puf a pair of stays on her, in orde( to take away her breath, a so prevent her from talking" This cruel punishment was " inflicted by other heartless not1. , , 3.... husbands, till at last there was scarcely a wife in all London who was not con¬ demned to the like infliction. The punishment became so universal at last, that the ladies, in their defence,made a fashion of it, and so it has' continued to the present day. The reason why our me¬ rits generally appear so large to ourselves is because we love to measure them by the deficiencies of others. lit, - L "*^
