Collectanea.
appeared to the hearers of the Divine Master , when he pointed out to them , with his finger , the lamb , the fold , the good shepherd , and the lily of the valley . To conclude , the country that Christ preferred on earth ; that which he has chosen for the exordium of his mysterious drama ; that wherein , during his obscure life of thirty years , he had his parents and his friends according to the flesh ; that wherein nature , of which he had the key , appeared to him with the greatest charms ; behold
these mountains , from whence he saw , like us , the sun rise and set in revolutions which measured so rapidly his mortal days ; here did he successively repose , meditate , pray , and cultivate love to God and benignity to man . "—De Lamartine ' s Pilgrimage to the Holy Land .
ADAM ' PARK . — " This is a high mountain , in the island of Ceylon , and held in the highest veneration by the natives , who resort thither from all quarters to the places of worship ivhich they have created upon it . A tradition is preserved among them that it ivas from this spot Adam took his last view of Paradise ; others think he was created here . "
DR . FRANKLIN ' CODE OP MORALS . — " The following list of moral virtues was drawn up by Dr . Franklin , for the regulation of his life : — Temperance : Eat not to fulness ; drink not to elevation . Silence : Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself ; avoid trifling conversation . Order : Let all your things have their place ; let each part of your business have its time . Resolution : Resolve to perform what you ought ; perform without fail what you resolve . Frugality : Make
no expense , but to do good to others or yourself ; that is , waste nothing . Industry : Lose no time ; be always employed in something useful ; keep out of all unnecessary action . Sincerity : Use no hurtful deceit ; think innocently and justly ; and if you speak , speak accordingly . Justice : Wrong none by doing injuries , or omitting benefits that are your duty . Moderation : Avoid extremes ; forbear resenting injuries . Cleanliness : Surfer no uncleanliness in the body , clothes , or habitation . Tranquillity : Be not disturbed about trifles , or at accidents common or unavoidable . Humility : Imitate Jesus Christ . "
RETROSPECTION . — " AVhen the veil of death has been drawn between us and the objects of our regard , how quicksighted do we become to their merits , and how bitterly do we remember words or looks of unkindness which may have escaped us in our intercourse with them ! How careful should such thoughts render us in the fulfilment of those offices of affection ivhich it may yet be in our power to perform!—for who can tell how soon the moment may arrive when repentance cannot be followed b y reparation ? "
GOOD HUMOUR . — " Good humour is the clear blue sky of the soul , on which every star of talent will shine more clearly , and the sun of genius encounter no vapours on its passage . 'Tis the most exquisite beauty of a fine face—a redeeming grace in a homely one . It is like the green on a landscape , harmonising with every colour , mellowing the glories of the bri ght and softening the hue of the dark ; or like a flute in a full concert of instruments—a sound , not at first discovered by the ear , yet filling up the breaks in the chord with its bewitching melody . "
' THERE is nothing by which I have through life more profited than by the just observations , the good opinion , and the sincere and gentle encouragement of amiable and sensible women . "—Sir S . Romillifs Diary . VOL . i . 0 „
