han gold; for the latter is the gift of fortune, but the former is the dower of nature.--_Addison._ ~Distrust.~--As health lies in labor, and there is no royal road to it but through toil, so there is no republican road to safety but in constant distrust.--_Wendell Phillips._ What loneliness is more lonely than distrust?--_George Eliot._ When desperate ills demand a speedy cure, distrust is cowardice, and prudence folly.--_Johnson._ ~Doubt.~--Remember Talleyrand's advice, "If you are in doubt whether to write a letter or not--don't!" The advice applies to many doubts in life besides that of letter writing.--_Bulwer-Lytton._ Doubt is hell in the human soul.--_Gasparin._ Doubt springs from the mind; faith is the daughter of the soul.--_J.

It is coextensive with the action of our intelligence. It is the shadow which cleaves to us, go where we will, and which only leaves us when we leave the light of life.--_Gladstone._ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.--_Bible._ The idea of duty, that r
