STUDENTS. Advice to David Copperfield, Chap. IV. DICKENS. Don't catch the fidgets; you have found your place Just in the focus of a nervous race, Fretful to change, and rabid to discuss, Full of excitements, always in a fuss ;— STUDIES. Urania.-O. W. HOLMES. Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business; Iva a murity cofisico-here and there blotted ti si fie the colour of the smoke from damp ie- fng douds, tossed up into most remarkable Lysing greater heights in the clouds thar there were depths below them to the bottom Sesges bollows in the earth, through which th moon seemed to plunge headlong, as if, in a d Ang ace, not shut o discuss, Fadetetumars, danes na fuss ; thetam arche; then compare as men "ean-checked maniacs of the tongue and pos1 deske, not try to keep your breath i man, but don't be work Ång wet ara notions - let me Sarma de iron till it's s' for expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. Essay on Studies.-LORD BACON. It is not easy to describe in words the precise impression which great and sublime objects make upon us when we behold them; but every one has a conception of it. It produces a sort of internal elevation and expansion; it raises the mind much above its ordinary state, and fills it with a degree of wonder and astonishment which it cannot well express. The emotion is certainly delightful, but it is altogether of the serious kind; a degree of awfulness and solemnity, even approaching to severity, commonly attends it when at its height, very distinguishable from the more gay and brisk emotion raised by beautiful objects. Lecture on the Cultivation of Taste. SUBMISSION. God of the just, Thou gav'st the bitter cup. SUCCESS. To my Mother.-H. K. WHITE. The Actor's Secret of There is one way by which a strolling player may be ever secure of success; that is, in our theatrical way of expressing it, to make a great deal of the character. To speak and act as in common life, is not playing, nor is it what people come to see: natural speaking, like sweet wine, runs glibly over the palate, and scarcely leaves any taste behind it; but being high in a part resembles vinegar, which grates upon the taste, and one feels it while he is drinking. To please in town or country, the way is to cry, wring, cringe into attitudes, mark the emphasis, slap the pockets, and labour like one in a falling sickness; that is the way to work for applause that is the way to gain it.
