A MOSAIC FOR US ALL.

JOG on, jog on, the foot-path road,

And merrily trip the stile-a;
Your merry heart goes all the day,

Your sad one tires in a mile-a.

Old Song.

DON'T cross the bridge till you come to it,

Is a proverb old, and of excellent wit.

ND when the road forks ary side,
And you're in doubt which one it is;
Stand still, and let your conscience guide,
Thank God, it can't lead much amiss.

J. P. Hebel-German Burns.

EEK not to know

SEEK

What pleaseth Heaven to hide; Dark is the abyss of time,

But light enough to guide our souls is given;
Whatever weal or woe betide,

Turn never from the path of truth aside,
And leave the event, in holy hope, to Heaven.

ET this thought quicken thee,

Minds that are great and free

Should not on fortune pause;

'Tis crowne enough to virtue still, her owne applause.

VOLETE aver molti in aiuto? fate di non averne bisogno!
