WEALTH, THE PASSION FOR. The eloquent but often scorching Dr. South, tells us of those in his day who believed in no god but mammon, no devil but the absence of gold, no damnation but being poor, and no hell but an empty purse; and not a few of their descendants are living still.

the

way

WEALTH, THE WAY TO.-The way to wealth, is as plain as to market. It depends chiefly on two words, industry and frugality; that is, waste neither time nor money, but make the best use of both. Without industry and frugality, nothing will do; and with them, everything.-Franklin.

WEALTH, WORLDLY.-Worldly wealth, is the devil's bait; and those whose minds feed upon riches, recede, in general, from real happiness, in proportion as their stores increase; as the moon, when she is fullest of light, is farthest from the sun.-Burton.

WELL-DOING, ITS REWARD.- -Work, every hour, paid or unpaid; see only that thou work, and thou canst not escape thy reward. Whether thy work be fine or coarse, planting corn, or writing epics, so only it be honest work, done to thine own approbation, it shall earn a reward to the senses, as well as to the thought. No matter how often defeated, you are born to victory. The reward of a thing well-done, is to have done it.-R. W. Emerson.

WELL-DOING, ITS REWARD.-Constant activity in endeav oring to make others happy, is one of the surest ways of making ourselves so.

WICKEDNESS.-Wickedness may well be compared to a bottomless pit, into which it is easier to keep one's self from falling, than, being fallen, to give one's self any stay from falling infinitely.-Sir P. Sidney.

WICKEDNESS. They are the same beams that shine and

enlighten, and are apt to scorch too, and it is impossible for a man engaged in any wicked way, to have a clear under standing of it, and a quiet mind in it altogether.-South.

WICKEDNESS, GLORYING IN.-To those persons who have vomited out of their souls all remnants of goodness, there rests a certain pride in evil; and having else no shadow of glory left them, they glory to be constant in iniquity.—Sir P. Sidney.

WICKED, THE.-The wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt: there is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.-Isaiah.

WICKED, THE.—Bias, one of the seven wise men, being in a storm with wicked men, who cried mightily to God, “Hold your tongues," said he, "it were better he knew not you were here."

WICKED, THE, IN MISFORTUNE.-A wicked man reduced tc hardships and misfortunes, is truly in a miserable case; he has lost all the enjoyments his heart was formerly set upon; and having no relish for those of another kind, is left altogether dead to any sense of pleasure, and must of course languish and sink under the weight of a joyless and wearisome being.-Hibernicus's Letters.

WIFE. The good wife commandeth her husband, in any equal matter, by constantly obeying him.

WILL, THE. We have more power than will; and it is only to exculpate ourselves that we often say things that are impracticable.-Rochefoucault.

WILL, WIT, AND JUDGMENT.—At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment. - Gratian.

WILLS.-There are two things in which men in other

things wise enough, do usually miscarry; in putting off the making of their wills and their repentance, till it be too late. -Tillotson's Sermons.

WINE.-A vine bears three grapes, the first of pleasure, the second of drunkenness, and the third of repentance.Anacharsis.

WINE.-Look not upon the wine when it is red; when it giveth his color in the cup: at last it biteth like the serpent, and stingeth like the adder.-Solomon.

WINE AND STRONG DRINK.-Wine is a mocker; strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby, is not wise.-Solomon.

WISDOM.-Wisdom is to the mind, what health is to the body.-Rochefoucault.

WISDOM.—In an active life is sown the seed of wisdom; but he who reflects not, never reaps; has no harvest from it, but carries the burden of age, without the wages of experience; nor knows himself old, but from his infirmities, the parish register, and the contempt of mankind. And what has age, if it has not esteem?-It has nothing.- Young.

WISDOM. Our chief wisdom consists in knowing our follies and faults, that we may correct them.

WISDOM.-True wisdom is a thing very extraordinary. Happy are they that have it: and next to them, not those many that think they have it, but those few that are sensible of their own defects and imperfections, and know that they have it not.-Tillotson.

WISDOM. It is as great a point of wisdom to hide igno. rance, as to discover knowledge.

WISDOM.-Wisdom allows nothing to be good, that will

not be so forever; no man to be happy, but he that needs no other happiness than what he has within himself; no man to be great or powerful, that is not master of himself.-Seneca.

WISDOM.-No man is the wiser for his learning: it may administer matter to work in, or objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a man.- -Selden.

WISDOM.-We ought not to judge of men's merits by their qualifications, but by the use they make of them.- Charron.

WISDOM.-Wisdom is a fox who, after long hunting, will at last cost you the pains to dig out: 'tis a cheese, which by how much the richer, has the thicker, the homelier, and the coarser coat; and whereof to a judicious palate, the maggots are best. 'Tis a sack posset, wherein the deeper you go, you'll find it the sweeter. Wisdom is a hen, whose cackling we must value and consider, because it is attended with an egg. But lastly, 'tis a nut, which unless you choose with judgment, may cost you a tooth, and pay you with nothing but a worm.-Swift.

WISDOM.-There is not a man in the world, but desires to be, or to be thought to be, a wise man; and yet if he considered how little he contributes himself thereunto, he might wonder to find himself in any tolerable degree of understand ing. Clarendon.

WISDOM AND FOLLY.-Wisdom prepares for the worst, but folly leaves the worst for the day when it comes.— Cecil.

WISDOM AND FOLLY.-A man's wisdom is his best friend; folly his worst enemy.-Sir W. Temple.

WISDOM OF NATURE.- -The wisdom of nature is better than of books: prudence being a wise election of those things which never remain after one and the self-same manner.- -Sir W Raleigh.

WISDOM OF THE IGNORANT.-The wisdom of the ignorant, somewhat resembles the instinct of animals; it is diffused but in a very narrow sphere, but within the circle it acts with vigor, uniformity, and success.- Goldsmith.

W VISDOM, PROVERBIAL.- -The proverbial wisdom of the populace at gates, on roads, and in markets, instructs the attentive ear of him who studies man, more fully than a thousand rules ostentatiously arranged.-Lavater.

WISDOM, VIRTUE, AND INNOCENCE.-An author, no less eminent than judicious, makes the following distinction between the words innocence, wisdom, and virtue. Innocence consists in doing no harm, and occasioning no trouble to society. Wisdom consists in being attentive to one's true and solid interest; in distinguishing it from a seeming interest; in a right choice and a constant adherence to it. Virtue goes further; it loves the good of society, and frequently prefers it to its own advantages.-Art of Thinking.

WISDOM WITH WEAKNESS.-When a man is made up wholly of the dove, without the least grain of the serpent in his composition, he becomes ridiculous in many circumstances of life, and very often discredits his best actions.-Addison.

WISE, THE.-There are but two classes of the wise; the men who serve God because they have found him, and the men who seek him because they have found him not. All others may say, "Is there not a lie in my right hand?"—

Cecil.

WISE, THE. The wise man does three things: he abandons the world, before it abandons him; prepares his sepulchre before entering it; and does all with the design of pleasing God, before entering into his presence.

WISE, THE.-The first consideration a wise man fixeth upon, is the great end of his creation; what it is, and wherein
