ave truer and nobler ideas of it; but while we are in this life we can only speak from the volume that is laid open before us.--_Pope._ Strike if you will, but hear.--_Themistocles._ When Infinite Wisdom established the rule of right and honesty, He saw to it that justice should be always the highest expediency.--_Wendell Phillips._ But Justice shines in smoky cottages, and honors the pious. Leaving with averted eyes the gorgeous glare obtained by polluted hands, she is wont to draw nigh to holiness, not reverencing wealth when falsely stamped with praise, and assigning each deed its righteous doom.--_AEschylus._ God's mill grinds slow but sure.--_George Herbert._ Who shall put his finger on the work of justice, and say, "It is there?" Justice is like the kingdom of God--it is not without us as a fact, it is within us as a great yearning.--_George Eliot._ Justice claims what is due, polity what is seemly; justice weighs and decides, polity surveys and orders; justice refers to the individual, polity to the community.--_Goethe._ K. ~Kindness.~--Yes! you may find people ready enough to do the Samaritan without the oil and twopence.--_Sydney Smith._ Paradise is open to all kind hearts.--_Beranger._ Kind words produce their own image in men's souls; and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his sour, morose, unkind feelings.

Feuillet._ Sow good services; sweet remembrances will grow from them.--_Mme. de Stael._ ~Kings.~--Kings wish to be absolute, and they are sometimes told that their best way to become so is to make themselves beloved by the people. This maxim is doubtless a very admirable one, and in some respects true; but unhappily it is laughed at in court.--_Rousseau._ Implements of war and subjugation are the last arguments to which kings resort.--_Patrick Henry._ A king ought not fall from the throne except with the throne itself; under its lofty ruins he alone finds an honored death and an honored tomb.--_Alfieri._ One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of heredit
