"The pink of perfection" was orlKluat-
ed by Oliver Goldsmith; so were "Meas
ures not men" and "Man wants but
little here below nor wants thnt little
long." Gray tho nuthor of the "Kle-
K7" Is responsible for many popular
phrases unions them "Full many a
Bom of purest ray serene" "To waste
Its sweetness on tho desert air" "This
plcnslnj; anxious belli;" "Tho pnths of
Kiory lead but to tho Kravc" and " hero
Itfiiorune is bliss 'tis folly to bo wise."
Dr. Johnsou gave us "Who lives to
plenso must plenso to live." Ilo nlso
said "Who drives fat oxen should him
self be fat" in which there Is more
sound than sense.
