Of earthly goods, the best is a good wife;
A bad, the bitterest curse of human life.

HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Be joined to thy equal in rank,
Or the foot of pride will kick at thee;
Let no one have thy confidence, O wife,
Saving thy husband:
Have not a friend more intimate, O husband,
Than thy wife.

WIFE.
What thou bidd'st,
Unargued, I obey; so God ordains:
God is thy law; thou mine: to know no more,
Is woman's happiest knowledge, and her praise.

When Sir Albert Morton died, his wife's grief was such that she shortly followed him, and was laid by his side. Wotton's two lines on the event have been celebrated as containing a volume in seventeen words:
"He first deceased; she for a little tried
To live without him, liked it not, and died."
To live without him, liked it not, and died."
Certainly there are few higher tributes in the world to a good husband than this.
2027
The wife is the key of the house.
2028
A man's best fortune—or his worst—is a wife.
2029
WIFE.
A modest, chaste, and an obedient wife,
Lifts her poor husband to a knightly throne:
What though the livelong day with toils be rife,
The solace of his cares at night's his own.
If she be modest and her words be kind,
Mark not her beauty, or her want of grace;
The fairest woman, if deformed in mind
Will in thy heart's affections find no place:
Dazzling as Eden's beauties to the eye,
In outward form: foul is her face within.
Better in dungeon, bound with chains, to lie,
Than, with at home, a wife of frowning mien.
Better bare feet than pinching shoes. The woes
Of travel are less hard than broils at home.
Contentment's door upon that mansion close,
Whence wrangling women's high-pitched voices come.

When a man has secured a good wife he can rest on his laurels; the world has no greater prize to offer him.

WILLS.
What you leave at your death, let it be without controversy, else the lawyers will be your heirs.

I hear the wind among the trees
Playing celestial symphonies;
I see the branches downward bent,
Like keys of some great instrument.

It is always safe to learn, even from our enemies—seldom safe to venture to instruct, even our friends.
2039
To know how to grow old, is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.
2040
Youth is not the era of wisdom; let us therefore have due consideration.

He who pursues an idle wish
But climbs a tree to catch a fish.

Best wishes! What avails that phrase, unless
Best services attend them.

Wishing, of all employments, is the worst.

No greater woe

In misery.

A WOMAN'S QUESTION.
Before I trust my fate to thee,
Or place my hand in thine,
Before I let thy future give
Color and form to mine,
Before I peril all for thee,
Question thy soul to-night for me.
Or place my hand in thine,
Before I let thy future give
Color and form to mine,
Before I peril all for thee,
Question thy soul to-night for me.
I break all slighter bonds, nor feel
A shadow of regret:
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or is thy faith as clear and free
As that which I can pledge to thee?
A shadow of regret:
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or is thy faith as clear and free
As that which I can pledge to thee?
Does there within thy dimmest dreams
A possible future shine,
Wherein thy life could henceforth breathe,
Untouched, unshared by mine?
If so, at any pains or cost,
Oh, tell me before all is lost.
A possible future shine,
Wherein thy life could henceforth breathe,
Untouched, unshared by mine?
If so, at any pains or cost,
Oh, tell me before all is lost.
Look deeper still. If thou canst feel
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept a portion back,
While I have staked the whole,—
Let no false pity spare the blow,
But in true mercy tell me so.
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept a portion back,

2050
A WOMAN'S NOBLEST STATION.
Seek to be good, but aim not to be great;
A woman's noblest station is retreat:
Her fairest virtues fly from public sight;
Domestic worth,—that, shuns too strong a light.

2051
Kindness in women,
Not their beauteous looks,
Shall win my love.
Not their beauteous looks,
Shall win my love.
2052
Alas! I am but woman, fond and weak
Without even power my proud, pure love to speak;
But oh, by all I fail in, love not me
For what I am, but what I wish to be.
Without even power my proud, pure love to speak;
But oh, by all I fail in, love not me
For what I am, but what I wish to be.
2053
Manners, not jewels, are a woman's ornament.
2054
The woman who really wishes to refuse an aspirant to her hand contents herself with saying, No. She who explains, wants to be convinced.
2055
Her voice was ever soft,
Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.
Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.
2056
In Dr. Johnson's opinion, "a woman was well dressed, when, after seeing her, one could not remember what she had on."
2057
A beautiful woman without fixed principles, may be likened to those fair but rootless flowers which float in streams, driven by every breeze.
2058
Where is the man who has the power and skill
To stem the torrent of a woman's will?
For if she will, she will, you may depend on't,
And if she won't, she won't, and there's an end on't.

For if she will, she will, you may depend on't,
And if she won't, she won't, and there's an end on't.
2059
A woman possessing nothing but outward advantages, is like a flower without fragrance, a tree without fruit.
2060
The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.
2061
Learn above all, how to manage women: their thousand Ahs! and Ohs! so thousand-fold, can be cured, but how,—I cannot tell.
2062
Pretty women without religion are like flowers without perfume.
2063
In women we love that which is natural,
We admire that which is acquired,
And shun that which is artificial.

TAKE TO THE WOODS.
If thou art worn and hard beset
With sorrow that thou wouldst forget;
If thou wouldst read a lesson that will keep
Thy heart from fainting and thy soul from sleep,
Go to the woods and hills!—No tears
Dim the sweet looks that Nature wears.
With sorrow that thou wouldst forget;
If thou wouldst read a lesson that will keep

2065
How many a day has been damped and darkened by an angry word!
2066
No word He hath spoken
Was ever yet broken.
Was ever yet broken.
2067
Many a word at random spoken,
May soothe or wound a heart that's broken.
May soothe or wound a heart that's broken.
2068
It is as easy to draw back a stone thrown with force from the hand, as to recall a word once spoken.
2069
The unspoken word never does harm.
2070
For want of a word, lives often drift, and remain apart.
2071
RASH, ANGRY WORDS.
Rash, angry words, and spoken out of season,
When passion has usurped the throne of reason,
Have ruined many. Passion is unjust,
And for an idle transitory gust
Of gratified revenge dooms us to pay,
With long repentance at a later day.

2072
An able man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions: he is neither hot nor timid.

Words are but wind, but writing may rise up in judgment.
2074
Stay longer—are two charming words in a friend's vocabulary.
2075
Fair words gladden many a heart.
2076
To a good listener few words will do.
2077
Hard words break no bones, but they sometimes break hearts.
2078
He that would be well spoken of,
Must not speak ill of others.

2079
Kind words are the music of the world.
2080
Kind words are a bright oasis in life's great desert.
2082
My words fly up, my thoughts remain below,
Words, without thoughts, never to Heaven go.
Words, without thoughts, never to Heaven go.
2083
Words are but pictures of our thoughts.
2084
If word of mine
Have harmed thee, rashly spoken, let the winds
Bear all remembrance of it swift away.

2085
There are words which cut like steel.
2086
If you think twice before you speak once, you will speak twice the better for it.
2087
Thy words have darted hope into my soul,
And comfort dawns upon me.
And comfort dawns upon me.
2088
A word and a stone let go, cannot be recalled.
2089
Like a beautiful flower, full of colour, but without perfume, are the fine, but fruitless words, of him who does not act accordingly.
2090
It would perhaps be well for many of us to have in sight the following little sentiment when writing letters:—
Words spoken are light as air;
Words written are always there.
Words written are always there.
2091
AN ILL-TEMPERED LETTER.
An ill-tempered letter, once sent, will sometimes embitter a life-time. We once saw an old gentleman, with a wise, fine head, calm face, and a most benevolent look, beg of a postmaster to return him a letter which he had dropped into the box. To do so, as everybody knows, is illegal; but won over by the old gentleman's importunity, the postmaster complied, upon full proof, in comparing the writing etc. being given. Then, with a beaming face, the old gentleman tore the letter into fragments, and, scattering them to the winds, exclaimed—"Ah! I've preserved my friend." The fact is, he had written a letter in a state of irritation, which was probably unjust and hurtful, but which he had wisely recalled. "Written words remain," is not only a proverb, but a very grave caution; and hence the advice—never write in anger, or, at any rate, keep your letter till next morning, when you probably will be cool and in a better frame of mind.
2092
A good beginning is half the work.
2093
Art little? Do thy little well:
And for thy comfort know
The great can do their greatest work
No better than, just so.
And for thy comfort know
The great can do their greatest work
No better than, just so.
2094
He who is willing to work finds it hard to wait.
2095
Never be ashamed of honest work. It is far better to be a good blacksmith than a bad lawyer.
2096
YOUTH AND OLD AGE.
Youth is the seed-time, old age the harvest. If we lay nothing up for old age it will be as related in the fable; namely: A cricket came to the ant, and said, "Give me something to eat?" The ant asked, "What did you in the summer?" "I whistled," said the cricket. "Then," said the ant, "if you whistled in summer while I was working, you may dance in the winter," and gave her nothing.
2097
We are best known by what we do.
2098
One's work is the best company.
2099
I am often tired in, but never of, my work.
2100
We often hear of people breaking down from over-work, but nine cases out of ten they are really suffering from worry or anxiety.
2101
Unless a man works, he cannot find out what he is able to do.
2102
I cannot abide to see men throw away their tools the minute the clock begins to strike, as if they took no pleasure in their work, and was afraid o' doing a stroke too much. The very grindstone 'll go on turning a bit after you loose it.
2103
THE TENT.
When my bier is borne to the grave
And its burden is laid in the ground
Think not that Rumi is there,
Nor cry, like the mourners around,
He is gone,—all is over—farewell!
But go on your ways again,
And forgetting your own petty loss,
Remember his infinite gain.
For, know that this world is a tent,
And life but a dream in the night,
Till death plucks the curtain apart
And awakens the sleeper with light.
And its burden is laid in the ground
Think not that Rumi is there,
Nor cry, like the mourners around,
He is gone,—all is over—farewell!
But go on your ways again,
And forgetting your own petty loss,
Remember his infinite gain.
For, know that this world is a tent,
And life but a dream in the night,
Till death plucks the curtain apart
And awakens the sleeper with light.
2104
The knowledge of the world is only to be acquired in the world, and not in the closet.
2105
FROM "EVERY DAY CHRISTIAN LIFE."
Shall I tell you what a princess wrote—the Princess Amelia, who was an aunt of our good Queen Victoria, and who after a long and painful sickness and trial died at an early age?—
"Unthinking, idle, wild, and young,
I laughed and danced, I talked and sung,
And proud of health, of freedom, vain,
Dreamt not of sorrow, care, or pain.
Oh! then, in those bright hours of glee,
I thought the world was made for me.
I laughed and danced, I talked and sung,
And proud of health, of freedom, vain,
Dreamt not of sorrow, care, or pain.
Oh! then, in those bright hours of glee,
I thought the world was made for me.
But when the hour of trial came,
And sickness shook my feeble frame,
And folly's gay pursuits were o'er,
And I could sing and dance no more—
Oh! then, I thought how sad 'twould be,
Were only this world made for me."
And sickness shook my feeble frame,
And folly's gay pursuits were o'er,
And I could sing and dance no more—
Oh! then, I thought how sad 'twould be,
Were only this world made for me."
2106
A man's quarrel with the world, is only a quarrel with himself.
2107
All my theology is reduced to this narrow compass—Jesus Christ came into this world to save sinners.
2108
The world does not seem to care for honorable lives as much as it does for a good bank-account.
2109
He who would enjoy many friends, and live happy in the world, must often be deaf, dumb, and blind, to its vices and follies.
2110
IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDING PUBLIC WORSHIP.
Said the Rev. W. J. Dawson: "I know in my own heart how soon the spirit of devoutness fades when from any cause I am deprived of public worship for any length of time. And when I see a youth to whom religious worship has been the atmosphere of his childhood, gradually withdrawing himself from the means of grace, I tremble for him, because I have seen what that means. I can think of men whom I loved, and who now lead wretched and degraded lives, and all their misery began when they forsook the tabernacles of their God."
2111
A soft answer turneth away wrath.
2112
Call not that man wretched, who, whatever ills he suffers, has a child to love.
2113
A good life keeps off wrinkles.
2114
What is writ, is writ—
Would it were worthier.
Would it were worthier.
2115
HANDWRITING—NATIONALITY OF.
It is a remarkable fact, that no man can ever get rid of the style of handwriting peculiar to his country. If he be English, he always writes in English style; if French, in French style; if German, Italian, or Spanish, in the style peculiar to his nation. Professor B—— states:—"I am acquainted with a Frenchman, who has passed all his life in England, who speaks English like one of our own countrymen, and writes it with ten times the correctness of ninety-nine in a hundred of us; but yet who cannot, for the life of him, imitate our mode of writing. I knew a Scotch youth, who was educated entirely in France, and resided eighteen years in that country, mixing exclusively with French people, but who, although he had a French writing-master, and, perhaps, never saw anything but French writing in his life, or rarely, yet wrote exactly in the Scotch style."
2116
The word that is heard, passes away; the letter that is written,—remains.
2117
Every time you avoid doing wrong,
You increase your inclination to do right.
You increase your inclination to do right.
2118
The remedy for wrongs is to forget them.
2119
My ear is pained, my soul is sick with every day's report of wrong and outrage with which earth is filled.
Y
2120
Yankee.—The word Yankee is believed to have been derived from the manner in which the Indians endeavored to pronounce the word English, which they rendered Yenghees, whence the word Yankee.
2121
Why doth one man's yawning make another yawn?
2122
How often it is like autumn leaves, many hopes and ambitions that yesterday were bright and strong, are now, alas, dead!
2123
Thy yesterday is past,
Thy to-day, thy future,
Thy to-morrow, is a secret.
Thy to-day, thy future,
Thy to-morrow, is a secret.
2124
Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to bear—
Pass through this life as best they may,
'Tis full of anxious care.
Will have enough to bear—
Pass through this life as best they may,
'Tis full of anxious care.
2125
YOUTH.
How beautiful is youth! How bright it gleams
With its illusions, aspirations, dreams!
Book of beginnings, story without end,
Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!
All possibilities are in its hands:
No danger daunts it, and no foe withstands:
In its sublime audacity of faith,
"Be thou removed!" it, to the mountain, saith.
With its illusions, aspirations, dreams!
Book of beginnings, story without end,
Each maid a heroine, and each man a friend!
All possibilities are in its hands:
No danger daunts it, and no foe withstands:
In its sublime audacity of faith,
"Be thou removed!" it, to the mountain, saith.
2126
An easy youth, generally means a hard old age.
2127
YOUTH AND AGE.
As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth.
2128
Youth is ever apt to judge in haste,
And lose the medium in the wild extreme.
And lose the medium in the wild extreme.
2129
YOUTH.
Happy the youth that finds the bride
Whose birth is to his own allied,
The sweetest joy of life:
But oh, the crowds of wretched souls
Fetter'd to minds of different moulds
And chain'd t' eternal strife!
Whose birth is to his own allied,
The sweetest joy of life:
But oh, the crowds of wretched souls
Fetter'd to minds of different moulds
And chain'd t' eternal strife!
2130
In youth we feel richer for every new illusion; in maturer years, for every one we lose.
2131
What is youth?—a dancing billow,
Winds behind, and rocks before!
Winds behind, and rocks before!
2132
You youngsters nowadays think you're to begin with living well, and working easy: you've no notion of running afoot before you get on horseback.
2133
Heavy work in youth is sweet repose in old age.

2134
Excessive Zeal.—An Indian, having heard from a white man some strictures on zeal, replied—"I don't know about having too much zeal; but I think it is better the pot should boil over than not boil at all."
