BIBLE.

5. A _friend_ can not be _known_ in _prosperity;_ and an _enemy_
can not be _hidden_ in _adversity_.

6. It is my _living sentiment_, and, by the blessing of God, it
shall be my _dying sentiment:_ INDEPENDENCE NOW, and INDEPENDENCE
FOREVER.
WEBSTER.

7. We live in _deeds_, not _years_,--in _thoughts_, not _breaths_,--in
_feelings_, not in _figures on a dial_. We should count time by
_heart throbs_. He _most lives_, who THINKS THE MOST,--FEELS THE
NOBLEST,--ACTS THE BEST.

8. _You_ have done the _mischief_, and _I_ bear the _blame_.

9. The _wise man_ is happy when he gains his _own_ approbation;
the _fool_ when he gains that of _others_.

10. We must hold _them_ as we hold the _rest_ of mankind--_enemies_
in _war_,--in _peace, friends_.
JEFFERSON.

NOTE IX.--The sense of a passage is varied by changing the place of the
emphasis.

EXAMPLES.

1. Has _James_ seen his brother to-day? No; but _Charles_ has.
