Goodness and greatness are not means, but ends. Hath he not always treasures, always friends, The good great man?

BOOKS.

Libraries are the wardrobes of literature whence men, properly informed, might bring forth something for ornament, much for curiosity, and more for use. J. DWYER.

Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is that of good books.

Are a substantial world, both pure and good; Round these with tendrils strong as flesh and

blood,

Our pastimes and our happiness will grow." WORDSWORTH.

Strong souls

F. D. HUNTINGTON.

Live like fire-hearted suns, to spend their

strength

In furthest striving action.

GEORGE ELIOT.

Character is higher than intellect. A great

soul will be strong to live as well as to think.

WAKE.

May stand and share its dewdrop with another
