USEFUL REMARKS. Calumnies are as sparks, which, if you do not blow them, will go out of themselves. The surest remedy against scandal 19 is to live it down,-Boerhaave. 4 A good man will be doing good wheresoever he is his trade is a 50 compound of charity and justice.37 Bp. Horne. 26 41 The universal and only wisdom, 15 Almighty God, which examineth the depth of hearts, hath not his judg6ments fixed upon the event of our 57 actions, but the motive.-Sydney. 49 If thou desire to be truly valiant, fear to do any injury: he that fears not to do evil, is always afraid to 34 suffer evil: he that never fears is 29 desperate; and he that always fears 24 is a coward. He is the true valiant man that dares nothing but what he may, and fears nothing but what he lought.-Quarles. Geo. Whitefield d. 1730 Remarks on Weather. Lond. Univ. open. 1828 Mean height. Highest.
