I Fear That We Shall Be Obliged

I Hold An Old-fashioned Notion That A Happy Marriage Is The Crown Of A Woman’s Life.

Sunday, January 27, 1884. -- There Was Another Story In The Paper A Week Or So Since. A Gentleman Had A Favourite Cat Whom He Taught To Sit At The Dinner Table Where It Behaved Very Well. He Was In The Habit Of Putting Any Scraps He Left Onto The Cat's Plate. One Day Puss Did Not Take His Place Punctually, But Presently Appeared With Two Mice, One Of Which It Placed On Its Master's Plate, The Other On Its Own.

I Remember I Used To Half Believe And Wholly Play With Fairies When I Was A Child. What Heaven Can Be More Real Than To Retain The Spirit-world Of Childhood, Tempered And Balanced By Knowledge And Common-sense...

Thank Goodness My Education Was Neglected.

What We Call The Highest And The Lowest In Nature Are Both Equally Perfect. A Willow Bush Is As Beautiful As The Human Form Divine.
