MISFORTUNES that can be borne. We all bear the misfortunes of other people with an heroic constancy. MOMENTS. Maxims, LVII.-ROCHEFOUCAULT. Each moment has its sickle, emulous Of time's enormous scythe, whose ample sweep Of sweet domestic comfort, and cuts down MONEY. Night Thoughts, 1. Line 193.-EDWARD YOUNG. Money may speedily be spent, but how tedious and troublesome is it to tell it! And by consequence how much more difficult to get it! Historical Applications, XXIII.-THOMAS FULLER. MOON. How to visit the If there be such a great ruck in Madagascar as Marcus Polus, the Venetian, mentions, the feathers in whose wings are twelve feet long, which can soop up a horse and his rider, or an elephant, as our kites do a mouse; why, then, it is but teaching one of these to carry a man, and he may ride up thither, as Ganymede does upon an eagle. Or if neither of these ways will serve, yet I do seriously, and upon good grounds, affirm it possible to make a flying chariot, in which a man may sit, and give such a motion to it, as shall convey him through the air. And this, perhaps, might be made large enough to carry divers men at the same time, together with food for their viaticum, and commodities for traffic. It is not the bigness of anything in this kind that can hinder its motion, if the motive faculty be answerable thereunto. We see a great ship swims as well as a small cork, and an eagle flies in the air as well as a little gnat. This engine may be contrived from the same principles by which Archytas made a wooden dove, and Regiomontanus a wooden eagle. The Discovery of a new World.-DR. JOHN WILKINS. MORNING.

P Music once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies. It wanders perturbedly through the halls and galleries of the memory, and is often heard again, distinct and living as when it first displaced the wavelets of the air. Zanoni, Book 1. Chapter 1.-E.
