It is the peculiar faculty of fools, to dis cern the faults of others at the same time that they forget their own. Cicero.

ADVANCED BY FORTUNE.
Fortune can at her pleasure, fools advance,
And toss them on the whirling wheels of
chance.
Dryden.

BRAIN LESS.

Fops take a world of pains

To prove that bodies can exist sans brains;
The former so fantastically dress'd
The latter's absence may be safely guess'd.
Park Benjamin.
Puppies! who, though on idiotism's dark
brink,

Because they've heads dare fancy they can
think.
Dr. Wolcot.

CHARACTER of a.

A fop, who admires his person in a glass, soon enters into a resolution of making his fortune by it, not questioning but every woman that falls in his way will do him as much justice as himself. Hughes. Knows what he knows as if he knew it not, What he remembers, seems to have forgot. Cowper.

DESCRIPTION of a.

So gentle, yet so brisk, so wondrous sweet,
So fit to prattle at a lady's feet. Churchill.
A six-foot suckling, mincing in its gait,
Affected, peevish, prim and delicate;
Fearful it seeined, tho' of athletic make,
Lest brutal breezes should so roughly shake
Its tender form, and savage motion spread
O'er its pale cheeks, the horrid manly red.
Churchill,

In forin so delicate, so soft his skin,
So fair in feature, and so smooth his chin,
Quite to unman him nothing wants but
this;

Put him in coats, and he's a very miss.

MUTUAL.

The kindest, and the happiest pair Will find occasion to forbear; And something every day they live To pity and perhaps forgive. Cowper. NECESSITY OF.

Use every man after his deserts, and who shall 'scape whipping. Shakespeare. TOWARDS OTHERS.

If thou wouldst be borne with bear with others. Fuller.

It is a noble and great thing to cover the blemishes, and to excuse the failings of a friend; to draw a curtain before his stains, and to display his perfections; to bury his weaknesses in silence, but to proclaim his virtues upon the house-top. South. WISDOM OF.

Every thing has two handles; the one soft and manageable, the other such as will not endure to be touched. If then your brother do you an injury, do not take it by the hot hard handle, by representing to yourself all the aggravating circumstances of the fact; but look rather on the soft side, and extenuate it as much as is possible, by considering the nearness of the relation, and the long friendship and familiarity between you-obligations to kindness which a single provocation ought not to dissolve. And thus you will take the accident by its manageable handle. Epictetus.

FORCE. INEFFECTIVENESS OF.

Who overcomes by force, Hath overcome but half his foe. Milton FOREBODING.

Ibid.

Look ere thou leap, see ere thou go. Thomas Tusser. HAPPINESS OF. Happy are those, That knowing, in their birth, they are sub. ject to

Whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat. let him have thy cloak also. Matt. v, 39.

Uncertain changes, are still prepared and arm'd

For either fortune; a rare principle
And with much labor learn'd in wisdom's
school.
Massinger.
