The Englishman Is Too Apt To Neglect

It Is Not Poverty So Much As Pretense That Harasses A Ruined Man - The Struggle Between A Proud Mind And An Empty Purse - The Keeping Up Of A Hollow Show That Must Soon Come To An End.

To One Given To Day-dreaming, And Fond Of Losing Himself In Reveries, A Sea-voyage Is Full Of Subjects For Meditation; But Then They Are The Wonders Of The Deep And Of The Air, And Rather Tend To Abstract The Mind From Worldly Themes.

The Tongue Is The Only Instrument That Gets Sharper With Use.

I Value This Delicious Home-feeling As One Of The Choicest Gifts A Parent Can Bestow.

Too Young For Woe, Though Not For Tears.
