APHORISMS.
A good name is the embalming of the virtuous to an eter- nity of love and gratitude among posterity.
Most men court admiration rather than esteem.
A man that hath no virtue in himself ever envieth virtue in others : for men's minds will either feed upon their own good or upon others' evil ; and who wanteth the one will prey upon the other ; and whoso is out of hope to attain another's virtue will seek to come at even hand by depress- ing another's fortune .- Bacon.
. Pleasures are like poppies spread,
· You seize the flower, the bloom is fled, Or like the snow-fal's in the river,
A moment bright, then gone forever .- Burns.
The heart wants something to be kind to; and it consoles us for the loss of society, to see even an animal derive hap- piness from the endearments we bestow on it.
