FLASHES OF THOUGHT.
Humility, that low, sweet root,
From which all heavenly virtues shoot.
M ine Honoris my life; both grow in one;
Take I Inner from me, and my life is done.
-[Moore,
-[Shakespeare.
Oh, beware of jealonsv!
Tt is the l'reen-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on —[Shakespeare.
True hope is swift and flies with swallow's wings;
Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.
—[Shakespeare.
Hope is the dream of a waking man.— [From the French.
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds, makes deeds ill
done [Shakespeare.
Nothing more detestable does the earth produce than an un-
grateful man—[Ansonions.
What is becoming is honest, and whatever is honest must al-
ways be becoming.—[Cicero.
The king is the least independent man in his dominion—the
beggar the most so.—[Anon.
A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and
sorrow, real poverty.— [H urae.
The first sure symptoms of a mind in health is rest of heart,
and pleasure felt at home.-—[Young.
To smile at the jest that plants a thorn in another's breast, is
to become a principal in the mischief.—[Sheridan.
K.vil thoughts intrude in an unemployed mind, as naturally as
worms are generated in a stagnant pool [From the Latin.
The man who dyes his whiskers, and the woman who paints
her face, forget that the world is full of people who have good
eyesight.
Since the generosity of persons act from impulse much more
than from principle, men are neither as good nor so bad as
we are apt to think them.—[Hare.-
The secret of some men's attractions might be safely told to
all the world, for under any other management but that of the
possessor, they would cease to attract. Those who attempted
to imitate them would find that they had got the fiddle but not
the fiddle-stick.—[Colton.

At Chicago Mrs. Isaac B. Hammond, daughter of a British
army officer and a Southern womnn, announced that she would
on the 4th of July display from a window of her house a Con-
federate flag. A crowd, learning of her intention, gathered in
front of the place, determined to tear down the flag if it should
appear. The crowd was so threatening that a lieutenant of po-
lice went to her and said that the force being so generally em-
ployed in repressing strike riots, it would not be possible to pro-
test her. Mrs. Hammond had ordered a Confederate flag, but
it had been sent home by the maker, and she had none to hang
out. This was told the crowd and it dispersed. Mrs. Hammond
then hung out a British flag, which a small boy, taking for the
Confederate banner, promptly tore down and destroyed.
