s never sure. Take advice, and never be
security for more than you are quite willing to lose. Remember the words
of the wise man. "He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it;
and he that hateth suretyship is sure."--_Spurgeon._

~Surfeit.~--They are sick, that surfeit with too much, as they that starve
with nothing.--_Shakespeare._

Satiety comes of riches, and contumaciousness of satiety.--_Solon._

~Suspicion.~--To be suspicious is to invite treachery.--_Voltaire._

There is no rule more invariable than that we are paid for our
suspicions by finding what we suspect.--_Thoreau._

Suspicion has its dupes, as well as credulity.--_Madame Swetchine._

Don't seem to be on the lookout for crows, else you'll set other people

~Sympathy.~--Surely, surely, the only true knowledge of our fellow-man is

I would go fifty miles on foot to kiss the hand of that man whose
generous heart will give up the reins of his imagination into his
author's hands; be pleased, he knows not why, and cares not
wherefore.--_Sterne._

~Tact.~--A tact which surpassed the tact of her sex as much as the tact of

~Talent.~--It is adverse to talent to be consorted and trained up with
inferior minds or inferior companions, however high they may rank. The
foal of the racer neither finds out his speed, nor calls out his powers,
if pastured out with the common herd that are destined for the collar
and the yoke.--_Colton._

Whatever you are from nature, keep to it; never desert your own line of
