As a keeper of the peace, all water-drinkers will confess me equal to the constable. Hawthorne.

Lysippus is told that his banker asks a debt of forty pounds, and that a distressed acquaintance petitions for the same sum. He gives it, without hesitating, to the latter; for he demands as a favor what the former requires as a debt.-Goldsmith.

[blocks in formation]

There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Belgium's capital had gathered then

Her beauty and her chivalry, and bright

The lamps shone o'er fair women and brave men ;

A thousand hearts beat happily, and when

Music arose with its voluptuous swell,

Soft eyes looked love a to eyes which spake again,

And all went merry as a marriage-bell;

But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes like a rising knell!-Byron.

O winter! ruler of the inverted year,

I love thee, all b unlovely as thou seem'st,

And dreaded as thou art!-Cowper.

Oh! what a tangled web we weave,

When first we practise to deceive.-Sir W. Scott.

Gentle river, gentle river,

Lo, thy streams are stained with gore!

Many a brave and noble captain

Floats along thy willowed shore!-Percy's Reliques.

Peace be with thee, O our brother,

In the spirit-land!

Vainly look we for another

In thy place to stand.- Whittier.

But see-alas!-the crystal bar

Of Eden moves not-holier far

Than e'en this drop the boon must be

That opes the gates of heaven for thee!-T. Moore.
