Honor among thieves. In Spain there may be truly enough said to be 'honor a mong thieves,' the Spanish robbers general ly giving their victims a cciliiicato of his having been plundered, which effectually protects him from further molestation.

Appropriate heavily. Dr. Johnson, it is notorious, was a "huge feeder;" George Colman used to say that his appetite -was worthy of his residence, Holt Court. A new fish sauce. A countryman arri ved at London was desirous of following the newest fashion. IIo heard gas spoken of as being very superior to oil, but ho had not the courage to ask an explanation on the subject. Going to dino at a chop-house, he ordered some turbot, and on being ask ed by the waiter whether he would take oil with his fish; ho answered, "No, I wish to try tho new mode, give it to mcr with gas," Cato's reason for marrying, Cato tho elder, being aged, buried Jus wife and mar ried a young woman; his son came to him and said, "Sir, in what have I offended you, that you have brought a step-mother into your house?"

IPiilBTOo Cunnirig, It was an aphorism of the great Lord' Mansfield, that "nothing was so silly as cunning." The greatest friend of. truth is time, her greatest oncmv is nrciudice. and her con. plant companion is hunulily. There arc prating coxcombs in thd World who would rather talk than listen, although Shakespeare himself wore the orator and human nature the theitldi Ignorance sees no difficulty; imperfect knowledge describes them: perfect knowl edge overcomes thbniv To stand well with one's self it is neces sary to have a good conscience. Conscience is a faithful mirror; deformed fiicos do not love the reflection of their looking-glasses. Tt feel neither hatred, nor jealousy, 'nor Ihc lust of revenge, is to prove our superi ority over human nature-. The man, Who in all his actions pursues the publid'good, docs not stop to avenge himself of the wicked who persecute hiin, and sees with pleasure superior ialdnts ad vancing before him towards the same object. The misfortunes which afflict men arc greater in imagination than in 'reality. Evil is calculated from tho privation of usual enjoyments and the inconveniences which follow thorn! The mind of the philosopher presently forgets the first, and soon becomes reconciled to the donsequbli ceSi Notwithstanding the difference of estate and qlialily among men, there is such a general mixture of good and evil, that, in the main, happiness is pretty equally dis tributed in the world. The rich arc as of ten unhappy aS tlid poor, as repletion is mord dangerous than appetite. Revenge, speaking botanically, may be termed wild justice, and ought to be rooted out, as dhoaking up the true plant. A first wrong does but offend the law, but revenge puts the law out of office. Surely, when government is once established, revcllge be longs only to the law. Man is not mord superior to a brute, than one man is to andthdr by the mere force of wisdom. Wisdom is the sole destroyer of equality, tho fountain of honor, and the on ly mark by which one man, for ten minutes together, can be known from another. Were men always skilful, they would nev er use craft or treachery. That men are so cunning, arises from the littleness of their minds, which, if it can conceal itself in one place, quickly discovers itself in a nothcr. Cunning men, like jugglers', ard only versed in two or three little tricks, while wisdom excels in the whole circle of ac tion. Meekness needs rio praise; iricekness is the moral paradise; the only celiient to the faults and errors of humanity. What can we do Without bearing with one another? Author's oilght riot to regard mean unqual ified abus'd. We tanilot say of a garrison' ed town, that it is taken, itidrely because' the enemy have thrown filth upon tho walls. An honest haughtiness of mind, which scorns to sloop buldw the dignity of human nature, is the spring of honest and honora ble unddrfakings; it is what the old moralist meant by a reverence for ourselves; rewards and punishments being only the crutches which men have found out to support vir tue, where this noble temper of mind is wanting. The samo pride which makes us desniso Lthc poor, makes us too submissive to the wealthy. It is founded upon the over val nation of riches. A true value of merit, makes us despise the vicious, and highly esteem the virtuous. He who is vexed at a reproach, may bo uaauiuii itiui uu uuum uu vuiy prouu 11 COlll mended. We ought not to trust the judgement of oincrs concerning ourselves; lor most pdo pie who judge a man, take very little iron ble in examining him, and depend entirely on ouiwaru appearances, few physicians will pretend to know exactly a patient's case, merely by looking at hurt. One opinion on hypocrisy is. that tho hypocrite hurts nobody but himself; the lib ertine, tho wholo society, llypocrisv is a more modest way of sinning; it is a sort of homage paid to virtue. Another opinion is, that tho hypocrite, by passing for what ho , ,, ,i i , i i i .a uui, utoiicu many; mo iiDcrime appear ing in his proper colours, hurts society less. I would lean to the former of these oninions: all the deceptions of hypocrisy call hurt a man's pocket only; the practices of the lib- urime arc iniccuous, and Tender society im morral. Universal consent is not always a suffi cient reason to found our belief upon. There wa3 a timo when all the world, ex cept the Jews, agreed in idolatry; and sometimes the Jews agreed with them. Great reading, without applying it, is like corn heaped, that is not stirred, it grows musty. The wife 6f an angry man should say little, but rather writo down her answers, that hor husband mav cool whiln l.n ;! reading. Those arc thought to have read much, who speak of it often: which is onlv . ai of not digesting what they read; just as a man's bringing up his supper is a proof of eating, but a very disagreeable one.
