168. Money brings honor, friends, conquest and realms ;

Therefore, if at great things thou wouldst arrive,
Get riches first, get wealth, and treasure heap,
Not difficult, if thou hearken to me:
Riches are mine, fortune is in my hand ;
They whom I favor, thrive in wealth amain,

While virtue, valor, wisdom, sit in want.
Satan to Christ-Paradise Lost.

177. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are

created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights ; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed ; that, when any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to

alter or to abolish it. Declaration of Independence.

-Time is like a fashionable host,
That slightly shakes his parting guest by the hand;
And with his arms outstretched, as he would fly,
Grasps in the comer: Welcome ever smiles,
And Farewell goes out sighing. O let not Virtue seek

SHAKSPEARE.

185. But ere these matchless heights I dare to scan,

There is a spot should not be pass'd in vain,
Morat ! the proud, the patriot field! where man
May gaze on ghastly trophies of the slain,
Nor blush for those who conquer'd on that plain ;
Here Burgundy bequeath'd his tombless host,
A bony heap, through ages to remain,

Themselves their monument; the Stygian coast Unsepulchred they roam'd, and shriek'd each wandering ghost.

While Waterloo with Canna's carnage vies,
Morat and Marathon twin names shall stand ;
They were true Glory's stainless victories,
Won by the unambitious heart and hand
Of a proud, brotherly, and civic band,

All unbought champions in no princely cause
Of vice-entail'd Corruption ; they no land

Doom'd to bewail the blasphemy of laws
Making king's rights divine, by some Draconic clause.
Childe Harold-Canto 3, Stanza 63.

SHAKSPEARE. An IDOL.

190. Energy of will is the soul of the intellect; wherever it

is, there is life; where it is not, all is dullness, and despondency, and desolation. It is the great principle, the spring that sets the whole machinery in movement; the antagonist of Time, acted upon by him as a wheel is by a stream, only to be set at work, and so to achieve great ends, where the feebleness of an ordinary mind would have been swept away and carried downwards to perdition. In morals and in intellect, nothing is impossible to it. This energy of purpose, is the one great talent; other powers there are, but their office is chiefly

to regulate our progression, or at most to accelerate it. Self-formation.

CAPEL LOFT.

191. And such they are--and such they will be found.

Not so Leonidas and Washington,
Whose every battle-field is holy ground,

Which breathes of nations saved, not worlds undone.
How sweetly on the ear such echoes sound !

While the mere victors may appall or stun
The servile and the vain, such names will be
A watchword till the future shall be free.

BYRON.

192.

- What I most prize in woman
Is her affections, not her intellect !
The intellect is finite; but the affections
Are infinite, and cannot be exhausted.
Compare me with the great men of the earth ;
What am I? Why, a pigmy among giants !
But if thou lovest,-mark me! I

say lovest,
The greatest of thy sex excels thee not !
The world of the affections is thy world,
Not that of man's ambition. In that stillness
Which most becomes a woman, calm and holy,
Thou sittest by the fireside of the heart,

Feeding its flame.
The Spanish Student.

LONGFELLOW.

193. An idler is a watch that wants both hands;

As useless if it goes as when it stands.
Retirement.

CowPER.

Bolingbroke ; afterwards King Henry 4th. 194. Myself—a prince, by fortune of my birth;

Near to the king in blood, and near in love ;
Till you did make him misinterpret me.-
Have stooped my neck under your injuries,
And sighed my English breath in foreign clouds,
Eating the bitter bread of banishment :
Whilst you have fed upon my signiorios,
